Outnumbered is John Bannon at his best. This 116-page book is filled with routines so devastating, you’ll even fool yourself when performing them. They’re magic to you and miracles to your audience.

As you’ve come to expect with John Bannon, these are some of the most deceptive tricks you’ll ever see. The methods are ingenious and surprisingly simple to do.

At their core, these six powerhouse routines take advantage of devious math principles. But they are not math tricks. These are fun, practical, commercial workers you'll perform for the rest of your life.

The math principles have been baked into the ingenious design of the tricks. You don't need to worry about how they work. All you need to do is focus on entertaining the audience and collecting your applause. They’re so smart and clever, they’ll feel like magic to you as well.

Contents of Outnumbered by John Bannon

Game, Set, Match!
Pairs of cards that your participant has freely put together end up matching the total sum of pocket change that has been in view since the beginning. It’s a clever combination of “Will the Cards Match” and “London’s Almost Real Prediction”, with a unique spin you’re going to love.

Blindsided Plus
What if you really had the ability to see the future, but you couldn’t understand what it meant. With this amazing, nearly self-working miracle, you’ll find out. It uses a regular deck and nobody will ever see the ending coming, let alone have a chance of figuring out how it’s done (even if they’re magicians that think they’re familiar with the core principle).

Counter Intuitive
An impossible discovery of a selected card under ridiculously fair conditions (or so they think). This is destined to be a standout for many of you.

Psychic Encounter
John takes the remarkably clean card location aspect of “Counter Intuitive” and reimagines it with a wholly different method.

Cosmic Conspiracy
Your predicted card appears at their freely-chosen, thought-of number. Even crazier, their mentally-selected card appears at your predicted number. Everything happens under truly impossible conditions.

The Sum of All Fours
John has crafted a no-pressure, self-working, makes-you-look-like-a-superhero Magic Square that thrives in any environment, even close-up. This is a gem that even the most staunch Magic Square deniers will love performing.

As promised, the tricks are not obviously mathematically based. They will probably fool most magicians. But I thought the real value is seeing how Bannon has disguised the methods, and his in-performance handling of counting that, honestly, doesn't seem like counting. For me, these subtle touches made the book worthwhile. The book also set me on a pleasurable afternoon of research following up on the references Bannon includes.

On the downside, the book's design is trying to hard to be "cool," and as a result it is sometimes difficult to read. (Small black serif type on a green gradient? Seriously?) There are several places where the writing could have benefited from another set of eyes -- if you're familiar with Bannon's books from Squash Publishing you'll notice that the extra attention to detail has not been included in this volume.
