Magic Video - Surreal Killer by John Bannon (Digital Download)

The Ultimate Blank Card Illusion

Prepare to amaze with 'Surreal Killer' by the legendary John Bannon, a mind-bending close-up magic routine presented by Bigblindmedia. This incredible effect takes a simple packet of six specially printed playing cards and transforms them into an impossible visual spectacle. You begin by showcasing blank canvases – a packet of double blank cards – seemingly ordinary and ready for anything. With a mere snap, the first impossible transformation occurs: one card magically prints with the enigmatic phrase, 'This Is Not A Hole.' A statement that immediately intrigues and sets the stage for the truly surreal.

An Impossible Journey of Transformation

The magic deepens as you return focus to the remaining blank cards. Suddenly, without warning, a genuine hole appears, punched clean through the center of one card – 'This is a hole!' you declare, dropping it to the table. Just when your spectators are trying to process this, another blank card acquires a hole, and then another! Three cards now lie on the table, each with a gaping hole. But the astonishment doesn't end there. As you flip these three 'holed' cards face up, you reveal an additional layer of artistry: another profound statement printed on their previously blank backs. The final twist arrives with the last remaining blank card, which you reveal to now bear the word 'WHOLE' printed boldly across its face, completing a truly circular and baffling narrative.

Why 'Surreal Killer' Stands Out

What truly elevates 'Surreal Killer' is its impeccably clean finish. Despite every side of all four key cards undergoing dramatic transformations – acquiring holes, printing statements, and shifting identities – you end completely clean, leaving no trace of manipulation. This self-contained pocket miracle comes complete with the six special custom-printed playing cards you need, supplied in a convenient wallet for protection and easy transport. It's a routine designed for impact, ensuring your audience is left reeling from the impossible, with nothing for them to find or examine that might unravel the mystery.

Effortless Mastery, Unforgettable Impact

John Bannon's genius shines through in the deceptive simplicity of 'Surreal Killer.' The entire routine, with all its incredible phases and mind-bending apparitions, requires just two fundamental sleights. Both are exceptionally easy to learn and are thoroughly taught in the accompanying video download instructions. This makes 'Surreal Killer' the perfect pocket trick for anyone, from seasoned working professionals looking for a high-impact, self-contained piece, to enthusiastic hobbyists, and even complete beginners eager to perform genuine miracles. Its inherent versatility provides ample latitude for you to infuse your own unique performance style, making 'Surreal Killer' truly yours.
