You are travelling to a special province in the world of magic: Self-working card magic. Deceptive, automatic, and turbo-charged.
Join John Bannon on a twenty-five stop wide-ranging tour of self-working card magic. Not your typical non-sleight-of-hand tricks, Bannon has thoroughly analyzed these effects and backed up subtle principles with the careful, layered construction he is known for.
Anyone can cobble together a couple of principles and call it a “trick.” Bannon looks for synergies and leverages the method as much as possible. His objective: “One plus one should equal three—or more. Otherwise, why bother?”
You get the trick and you get Bannon talking about the trick, all in his precise, but easy-to-read style. The perfect travel companion on this exciting journey.
All with regular cards, without gaffs, crimps, pencil dots, “punches,” or marks. These highly-refined constructions will change the way you think about self-working card magic.
It’s not just the destination, it’s the journey. Enjoy the ride.
You know, as I get older, my ability to impress an audience with brute sleight of hand, wanes ever so slightly with each passing day; and the thought of that inevitable day when my decline will be glaringly obvious to even the uninitiated is a source of gnawing depression.
But then I remember the Bannon stuff, and I get a warm happy feeling. Thanks to John’s material, not only will they think I'm still good, they might even think I'm getting better!!
Sooner or later, everyone does Bannon.

What’s great about Destination Zero is the way that John has wrung every ounce of deviousness from the underlying methods and principles of these tricks.

These effects are not mathematical monstrosities; rather, they are cleverly constructed card tricks that anyone can do. If you want to add some self-working material to your repertoire, then John Bannon’s Destination Zero is a good place to start .
