Duplicity
John Bannon
(Based on 2 reviews)
Part II of the Fractal Card Magic series is John Bannon's classic mental card transposition - reloaded.
A red-backed Ace from one packet changes places with a blue-backed Ace in another packet.
The selected Aces appear face-up in each respective packet. Then their backs prove to be different. As a final climax, all of the other cards are shown to be blank!
Everything is examinable. Perfect for mentalists, table-hoppers, and card magic enthusiasts!
Step-by-step DVD instructions and a photo-illustrated e-book illuminate the workings of Duplicity. All necessary cards, specially printed by the U.S. Playing Card Co. are supplied.
Running Time Approximately: 19mins

Is this really possible - YES
This one bent my mind and after watching the trailer, it had me fooled. Imagine what this one will do to your spectators. There are only 8 cards used, no gaffed cards, nothing to make, add or take away. Yes, you will need to buy some blank cards if you don’t already own any. There is no reset, you can perform this again right way but not for the same audience.
How is it then possible? Well obviously I can’t tell you, but I can tell you that there is a very simple move that you probably already know or do and some slight of mouth. Great for strolling in any venue especially if you are performing table to table in a restaurant or bar. It can be done with out the use of a flat top surface, use a spectators hands as a table top.
This effect and move is very simple to learn, John does a great job of teaching this, it won’t take you long. This move if you don’t already know it is invaluable and very versatile, you can and will use and apply it to other card effects you will perform. I have to admit that the description is very accurate but if you saw the whole uncut performance you will probably figure it out or at least have a good idea. The effect itself is worth 5 stars but gave it only 4 due to the price.

I believe the reason that Twisted Sisters was such a smash hit is in it's simplicity for the audience. You can sum it up in a single sentence - a freely selected card changes places. It's quick, clean, and fun.
So, why buy Duplicity? Because you get the same effect and end clean. The moves are pretty standard and the impact for the audience is the same. So, what's not to love?
For those who prefer printed instructions, the photos are clear and the descriptions are easy to follow. The DVD is great just to see Mr. Bannon in action. Like Bullet Party, Duplicity is a packet (fractal) trick that you will want to carry with you and perform at a moment's notice. Get it and Enjoy!
