Routines performed and explained:

• Shriek Of The Mutilated: A visual flash restoration of a torn piece of cigarette paper. Play it Straight (Triumph): Bannon's outstanding no-sleight triumph routine where all the cards of the selected card's suit remain face up after three fair shuffles.
  
• Vacuum Packed: A quarter magically penetrates a small sealed glass bottle and is visually removed through its tiny opening.
  
• Directed Verdict: A spectator cuts the deck into four packets. The spectator turns the top card of each and shows them to be aces.
• Revolutionary Penetration: A Chinese coin is threaded and tied on a shoelace. The lace and coin are placed into a spectator's fist and impossibly separate.
  
• Return of the Magnificent Seven: Seven duplicate cards are shown and a card is selected. Each and every one of the duplicates now changes into the selected card. Everything is examinable.
