Can anyone send me in the right direction to find out a little on John Bannons book "Secret Weapons"? Is it still in print? Or tell me a bit about it? I hate to post about it, but my search on it has come up empty. Thanks in advance!

I didn't know he had a book called Secret Weapons in print ever. I was only aware of his three others. I would love to know more about this as well.

There's a copy on eBay as of now. The auction ends in 15 hours, but there are no bids and the Buy it Now option is still available.

RoatC- That's where I initially found out about this book. I seen it on Ebay and it immediately struck me to start a search on it. I just bought it for 12.99. So, if there's even one good bit of info in there, I'm sure I'll get my moneys worth. Do you know anything about the contents of this book? Thanks a lot!

Ummmm any magic website has the new books that come out...elmwoodmagic.com, magicproshop.com, magicstor.com, and genii's site, and there are a lot more...just go to the publisher's website. I never buy my books off of ebay..the books you get on there are usually used, and the winning bid is always only about $5-$10 less, and you usually have to pay for shipping.

I am still curious about the whereabouts of Mirage.
Have anybody actually ever seen that book??? And looking at the year, it must have got published before his other books. Could it be some lecture lotes with that name? When John was in Sweden 1994, he sold a set of lecture notes, titled Value-Added Tricks. Peo

The list I had were all of his works in English. As David pointed out, I used a few resources to compile it, including the list at the beginning of John's books, items I'd seen on eBay, and announcements John had made.
I saw Mirage for sale on Magic Auctions a few weeks ago, and I bid on it. Unfortunately, I was outbid. It is a small softbound book. |

We can always hope for a reprint ...
