Fire When Ready by John Bannon video DOWNLOAD

Give your card sets a mental-magic edge with Fire When Ready, John Bannon’s downloadable collection of ten card routines. Spectators think of cards, shuffle and cut the deck, or even hold the pack themselves as the effects unfold.

With a 180-minute running time, this third and final entry in Bannon’s “Bullet” series brings together routines built around basic sleight of hand. You’ll find material for surprising reveals, Ace assemblies, and thought-of-card effects.

• Thought-of-card magic: In “Proxy Shock,” a shuffled deck leads to a dramatic reveal; “Question Zero” uses a borrowed, shuffled deck and a thought-of card, with no questions asked.
• Spectator involvement: “Clean Out Of Sight” has a spectator shuffle and think of a card without you touching the deck, while “Line Of Sight” puts the pack in the spectator’s hands.
• Aces and a utility routine: “Cut & Run” produces the four Aces after the spectator shuffles and cuts; “Stealth Aces” and “Big Fat Bluff Aces” offer distinct Ace assemblies.
• More card-magic variety: “Mundo” brings an “Out of This World” effect to a small packet, while “Rock The ’Voque,” “Hybrid Holdout,” and “Blues Alley Jokers” add mind-reading, controlled-card, and Joker effects.
• Practical teaching: Bannon shares tips for making “Line Of Sight” work as an opener for your card sets.

Use “Line Of Sight” to start a set with a spectator holding the cards, then draw on the other routines for close-up performances built around genuine choices and striking card revelations.
