Wild Wave Performance by John Bannon

“Only John Bannon could create a packet trick where the clean-up is a knock-out effect in its own right! Wild ‘Wave is perfect.” Iain Moran

WILD ‘WAVE - Part Eight-Card Brainwave (with ten cards). Part Wild Card (red spot cards change into a Spade Royal Flush). And, of course, Poker. A riddle inside a mystery wrapped in an enigma—sort of.

WHAT HAPPENS: You show a small packet of cards, each one taken from a different casino, and explain that you like to take a memento from each place you visit. Spreading these cards face down on the table, you let your spectator select one. After collecting up the cards they didn’t pick, you show that they are all low value, red spot cards. Incredibly the card they (freely) chose is shown to be the lone, high value black card.

Offering to take this a step further you deal out the remaining cards, completing a five card poker hand for your spectator, as well as one for yourself.

Incredibly your participant discovers that they have a STRAIGHT - a killer hand in Poker!

But sadly that means nothing, because when you flip your hand over, it reveals A ROYAL FLUSH IN SPADES!

Everything is examinable - nothing to hide.


Everything about Wild ‘Wave is quintessential Bannon - wringing multiple phases of shocking magic from just a handful of cards… eliminating almost ALL of the sleight of hand that other similar tricks use… ending completely, squeaky clean. When you’re doing a John Bannon packet trick you KNOW you’re delivering the goods. :)

Impossibly fooling.
