Power Of Poker

Post by Richard W » Fri Mar 06, 2020 6:49 am

Here you go a $4.95 trick they say you will use forever. Instant download so no matter where you live you can get this.

The Power of Poker is a great new poker routine you will love. You give the spectator a completely free choice during every step of the routine and yet you win the game. To top it off, you show a prediction which forecasts EXACTLY who will get each hand! No, this is NOT the 10 card Poker Deal (which is a great effect by the way), but an entirely different principle. Best of all, it is self-working and you do it with ordinary cards. You can learn the routine in minutes and you can’t go wrong. I love the clever psychological touches that make it so convincing. I rarely add a new routine in my performances, but this one I will certainly use in close-up, intimate situations!” - Richard Osterlind

"Bannon’s Power of Poker is a neo-classic. It has and will stand the test of time. Even for those who don’t do gambling routines this is a bullet-proof, must-have in your arsenal." - Raj Madhok

"John Bannon's Power of Poker will make you look like a psychological card expert; and you'll have the written prediction to prove it!" - Cody Fisher

Imagine a ten-card poker deal with no false moves where the audience makes all the decisions. With everything out in the open and as fair as possible not only does the performer end up with the winning hand, but that winning hand was predicted from the very beginning.

In Power of Poker there really are no false moves and no gimmicks required. A very clever script and routine created by John Bannon appears to give the audience all of the control. But you win and match a prediction every time. This isn’t your average ten-card poker deal. This is Power of Poker.

Check out the 4 reviews and the 4 comments on the last one.

Probably worth the 5 bucks.
Price will likely go back up to $10.00 soon.

It might be something like this poker trick I posted on my FSO website years ago.

I have John Bannons book Dear Mr. Fantasy, and Power of Poker is included...

Go for this book, then you have 21 card tricks, which is a bargain...

See the book listed on Bannon's site in paperback for $35.00 or 25.00 as ebook with active hyperlinks for limited time only. It says on penguin this book has been discontinued and says that on all sites except one new copy on amazon. Bannon's site below shows it still for sale. I am wondering if it is really discontinued and Bannon just has not updated his site. Ebook would be easy on old eyes and no shipping for international orders. His site shows big time shipping for anyone not in USA for the paper back book so ebook would be better for all not in USA. If you were to buy it today would you get the ebook now instead of the paper back or still prefer the real book?

What do you think about Power of Poker rob?
Does it have good response when you show it. No bottom deals no funny moves and can let the spectator win instead of performer if you want that outcome. Is it the least exciting trick in the book? I have a friend that plays poker almost every night think he might like to know how to do this one for his poker buddies. Seen one review that said it wasn't as good as he hoped it would be but he is the only one that said that. He doesn't do magic and for 5 bucks for instant download I could email it to him he wouldn't be interested in any other tricks in the book.

I've been lucky to get a hardcover copy from a second-hand magic dealer here in Germany (for 20 Euros :smile:). It's an excellent book, well written and comprises also some of John Bannon's self-working card tricks (as from the Move Zero series) which I especially appreciate. My favourite tricks are Origami Poker and the variants thereof.
