Magic Review - Fire When Ready by John Bannon

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of *Fire When Ready*, the latest DVD from John Bannon and Big Blind Media, which concludes the "Bullets" trilogy. The DVD boasts the usual high production quality from Big Blind Media, featuring various locations and performers like Lee Monteer. While David notes the material feels like a collection of previously unused ideas, he doesn't find this diminishes the overall quality. The DVD showcases ten tricks, with highlights including the self-working and beautifully presented *Mundo*, *Big Fat Bluff Aces* (an Ace assembly transforming into Four Kings), *Proxy Shock*, *Rock the Vogue*, *Cut and Run*, *Line of Sight*, and *Question Zero*. David appreciates Bannon's methodical and deliberate performance style, which allows for close observation of the magic, though he acknowledges it might not suit all tastes. The positives include clever thinking, strong material, and a reasonable $25 price point. Potential drawbacks include a lack of flashy moments and the deliberate presentation style. Ultimately, David recommends *Fire When Ready* to fans of John Bannon's work, encouraging viewers to consider their own preferences before making a decision. He also promotes his other channels, including *Magic Channel Card Tricks*, for beginner magic and kit reviews.
