Strangers Gallery 2.0 by John Bannon | Trailer

This promotional video serves as a trailer for Strangers Gallery 2.0, a color-changing deck routine by John Bannon, and it's clear Bannon believes it's the best on the market! Originally released in the mid-1990s, this trick quickly became a staple for card magicians, and its enduring popularity speaks volumes. The effect involves four cards, three with unique backs, seemingly drawn from different decks, magically sharing the same value as a fourth card. The real kicker? A complete color change of the magician's own deck! The updated version includes four specially printed cards from the US Playing Card Company, packaged in a convenient wallet, and presented in beautiful faux-hardback book packaging. It's praised by magicians like David Regal, Tim Trono, and John Carey for its cleverness, practicality, and stunning visual impact, making it a must-have for any serious card magician looking to add a time-tested classic to their repertoire.
