Fire When Ready by John Bannon - DVD
Bannon, John
Big Blind Media
(Based on 1 review)
Over two packed discs and an immense 180-minute running time, Fire When Ready will arm you with some of the strongest card magic imaginable. From Bannon's go-to opener for more than a decade 'Line Of Sight' to the impossibly clean think of a card 'Proxy Shock'. The ten featured routines are audaciously constructed and require only the most basic sleight of hand, yet, they are tricks that are destined to be in your arsenal for EVER!
Proxy Shock - They think of a card. The deck is shuffled. It looks like you miss... then BOOM! They realize they were just being set up for the sucker punch.
Rock The 'Voque - A spectator reads your mind, bit by bit, nailing the card you thought of... and you can prove it!
Mundo - All the impact of 'Out of This World', but in a small packet, and with a twist that will fool EVERYONE!
Cut & Run - Produce the four Aces from a deck repeatedly shuffled and cut... by your SPECTATOR! This is a killer utility!
Hybrid Holdout - Your participant shuffles and cuts. Top stock: Controlled?!?
Stealth Aces - A classic Ace Assembly, that combines easy handling with a devious construction!
Big Fat Bluff Aces - John's hidden gem. This assembly is a showpiece, and features several astonishing kickers, and will leave EVERYONE reeling - laymen and magicians alike!
Blues Alley Jokers - Truly shocking appearance of Jokers sandwiching a selected card.
Clean Out Of Sight - Vernon's classic gets the Bannon treatment - a spectator shuffles and thinks of a card, without you touching a thing. Then, following the spectator's intuition, you zero in on a card they've genuinely thought of, and never named. BOOM!
Question Zero - A borrowed, shuffled deck. A thought of card. Zero questions, maximum bang for minimal buck!
Line Of Sight - What does John open his card sets with? Line of sight. And you will see why! John teaches all the tips that make this shocking moment of mental card magic work, with the pack in the spectators' hands.

Overview:
When people find out that you do magic, how often do you get asked “show me a trick” ? Maybe you carry something to perform with, often you might not. If you are in someone’s home, more than likely they will have a deck of cards around. Fire When Ready by John Bannon and Big Blind Media is a collection of card tricks that can performed using an ordinary deck of cards.
What You Get:
On this DVD there are ten hard hitting card tricks that require no or minimal set up. The DVD runs three hours and the tricks are from two of his books which are Mentallisimo and Lucky.
Instructions:
True to form, this DVD as many others produced by Big Blind Media are incredibly well done. Each trick is explained by John Bannon at an easy going pace. Besides explaining the trick, John Bannon also elaborates on the theory and psychology of the decision making process he went through for each routine. This is invaluable not just for learning this particular effect but also for other tricks you may want to perform.
When you watch a BBM production one can see a lot of thought goes into making their product more than just a magic DVD. The sets are varied and well composed. The shots subtly change from slow pans, long shots, close ups and extreme close-ups so fluidly it is as if you were watching a Hollywood production. BBM productions are in a class of their own.
Pros:
You will receive a quality DVD with tricks that an average card man can do. There are none of those endless counting tricks or tricks you have to set an entire deck up to start. There are a couple where a card or two have to start out facing a different direction but they can be done on the fly with ease. You are given the handling as well as the scripting for every trick. And addition you are given short dissertations on topics such as equivoque which in themselves are interesting to listen to.
Cons:
This DVD offers so much, however a couple of minutes could have been spent on explaining such moves as the double undercut and finger breaks. By leaving these out I would have to categorize this DVD for advanced beginner and intermediate card magicians. The other discrepancy I see is that the ad copy states "Over two packed discs..." Just for your info, you receive one disc. This one disc may have the data that two discs used to have but to alleviate any confusion I'm mentioning it.
At a Glance:
This is for an advanced beginner and intermediate performer
Good communication skills are a must for audience management
As in any card magic angles would be trick dependent
Reset time is minimal
No DIY
