Original Version (Murphy's Magic):

Stranger's Gallery by John Bannon John Bannon's incredible color-changing deck routine 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

"I'm giving this 120% - the best color changing deck on the market!"
- Craig Petty, MagicTV

Originally released in the mid 1990's, John Bannon's Strangers Gallery was an instant smash hit. This insanely clever color changing deck routine was easy to do, super visual and the very definition of a commercial trick. It swiftly became the go to solution for this plot. If you wanted to do color changing deck, then you did Strangers Gallery!

And then, unlike almost every other commercially released magic product in history, it continued to sell. This thing has been a mainstay in magic shops across the globe for over 25 years! There are many magicians working today who started with this trick! It. Is. EPIC!

Simply put - if you do card magic then you NEED this trick in your repertoire. It requires minimal sleights, has multiple phases and it works as anything from an intimate one on one performance to a stage show closer. It really is that good!

Witness as three selections impossibly share the exact same value as a fourth card chosen at random! Surely that would only be possible if these four cards came from four different decks?! Well, that turns out to be true, because the backs of three cards then change from red to green, yellow and purple!

That's not the kicker though - that would be when THE COLOR OF THE ENTIRE DECK YOU'RE USING CHANGES!!!

Comes with four special US Playing Card Company printed cards, beautiful faux hardback book packaging and new, updated video instructions from John Bannon.
