Strangers’ Gallery by John Bannon

John Bannon’s incredible color-changing deck routine, from his amazing book Smoke and Mirrors, has become a modern-day classic, and once you’ve seen the impact this effect has on an audience, combined with the minimal amount of sleights necessary you`ll know why.

Effect: From a blue-backed deck, the performer removes three face-down cards from three different places. A fourth card is selected. Each of the three initial cards are shown to match the selected card exactly. The performer remarks that the only way the trick would be possible is if the four cards came from from four different decks. Accordingly, the backs of three cards change from blue to black, yellow and white, leaving four cards with four different colored backs!

For the climax, it is revealed that none of the four cards could have come from your deck…because it is spread and seen to be RED! Includes 10-page booklet and all the necessary gaffs specially printed by the U.S. Playing Card Company
