Outnumbered by John Bannon - Book
Six Routines So Diabolical, Even YOU Won’t Believe Them!
Step into the mind of John Bannon, the undisputed master of clever, fooling card magic. In Outnumbered, he unleashes six miracles that will leave you as stunned as your spectators. These aren’t dusty math tricks from a schoolbook — these are precision-engineered, jaw-dropping routines built to twist your audience’s minds into knots.
Bannon’s construction is legendary: he leads audiences down a garden path, where they think they know what’s coming, only to have their expectations shattered by an impossible finale. And the best part? You’ll feel that same shock and delight as you perform them, wondering how on earth they work even though you’re holding the cards!
Here’s what’s inside:
Game, Set, Match!
Participants create pairs of cards that match a pocketful of change sitting on the table from the very start. Part prediction, part impossible coincidence — 100% mystery.
Blindsided Plus
What if you could predict the future without even fully understanding what you were predicting? A self-working marvel with a regular deck that will blindside even the sharpest minds.
Counter Intuitive
An impossible location revealed under conditions so fair, so open, it feels like real mindreading.
Psychic Encounter
The same shockingly clean reveal as Counter Intuitive, but achieved through a different path that will fool you, too.
Cosmic Conspiracy
You name a number, they name a card — then watch as your prediction appears at their number, and their card appears at yours. A cosmic miracle.
The Sum of All Fours
Take the magic square to a new dimension with a show-stopping, self-working demonstration that reveals your inner math wizard without breaking a sweat.
Outnumbered gives you tools, routines, and secret principles that turn mathematical plots into stunning, memorable, high-impact magic. No complicated calculations, no endless mental gymnastics — just streamlined, elegant effects that feel like true miracles.
