Stranger’s Gallery by John Bannon

John Bannon’s mesmerizing color-changing deck routine has earned its place as a contemporary classic. Witnessing the profound effect this illusion has on audiences, paired with the simplicity of its sleights, makes it clear why it’s so revered.

Effect

The performer begins with a blue-backed deck, extracting three face-down cards from different locations. A fourth card is chosen, and each of the initial three cards is revealed to perfectly match the selected card. The performer cleverly suggests that the only way this could be possible is if the four cards originated from four distinct decks. In a stunning twist, the backs of the three cards transform from blue to black, yellow, and white, resulting in four cards displaying different colored backs!

For the grand finale, it is disclosed that none of the four cards could belong to your deck, as it is revealed to be entirely RED! This package includes a 10-page booklet and all necessary gaffs, expertly printed by the U.S. Playing Card Company.
