I have been a fan of Bannon ever since I bought Smoke and Mirrors. My favorite is Vicious Rumors. I have performed it countless times to laymen and magicians alike . It's killer stuff. The magic happens in the spectators hand and the reactions are priceless. Never have I been caught on the assisted switch or the jinx switch.

Great choice imo! My favorites are play it straight triumph, beyond fabulous, counterpunch, Cross purposes, clock of doom but also his out of sight out of mind routine from mentalissimo. The guy has too much good stuff lol

Great video. So much stuff I forgot about. Love play it straight triumph it’s a killer. I’ve come up with 3 versions of it. 1) you produce wrong suit and then suit changes 2) the suits all blue backed in a red deck 3) a in the hand version. Will record a wee video for you showing you them and get sent to you. You’ll enjoy them.

I'm a big fan of John Bannon, this was an excellent 5x5 Craig. You may have tried it already, but if you perform Timely Departure with the cards in A-K order, CHSD, the selections will all be the same value. It may seem pointless to magicians, as when you spread the groups of cards at the end they're in order. However, I have done this for several non-magaician mates, and no one has pointed it out (yet!). I think they're task-fixated on spotting their card that the order of the cards flies right past them! It's an awesome FASDIU trick though!

Asi Wind has a trick, Triumph and Triumph Again, where he does a sort of double version of Bannon's Play It Straight Triumph. (Either two cards picked and two sequences are missing the correct card or the card is miscalled on the first spread--the number is right but the suit is wrong--but after a second spread you identify the correct missing card from the spread.) I have to say that I was not aware of the origin of Wind's trick until I saw this video. Looking back at the Vanishing Inc description, Bannon is very clearly credited, but Asi Wind did not do any crediting in the video teaching portion. Asi Wind's double take definitely adds to the impossibility of the effect, but the set up is more of a bear (would be near impossible to do on the fly) when compared to the Bannon original. I can see Bannon's version killing following a regular triumph effect. Wind's routine has that real 'wow' factor and holds up on its own, but I think that doing the original triumph and following with Asi Wind's version might be just too much for an audience....

"Shriek of the Mutilated" reminded me of a likewise *excellent* TnR cigarette paper effect by Steve Dusheck called "Pushover," which is in his Close-Up Magic book. It doesn't use flash paper, and uses a push-pin instead of a longer pin.

With play it straight triumph, I usually dont put the cards in order... just for me, I think doing two things is a bit too impossible, like from a shuffled deck, you turned the cards over and also put them in order 😂 that's just a bit much for my sort of character, and I like having a moment where we take the cards out and then try to put them in order

Great 5x5 Craig - I particularly enjoyed the ‘Mutilated’ performance, even though it might not have been what you had planned! My favourite JB borrowed/shuffled deck trick is Cross Purposes from Move Zero 3 - very fooling. Also love Bannihilation - not impromptu, but appears so to the spectator. Very clever thinking and a great effect.
