Super powerful magic trick which now ends completely clean! If you have ever hesitated doing Twisted Sisters because it doesn’t end clean, then this is 100% for you!

John Bannon’s card work is always deceptive and always a solid foundation on which to build a routine. That is front and center here as a perfect example. You end clean AND you end in highly visual, highly magical manner which you can color any way you want. Maybe you made the rest of the aces vanish. Maybe they were never there to begin with. OR, maybe there are other cards which play into your presentation.

This is a great routine for inspiring anyone to learn and perfect two very solid fundamental techniques in card magic. The payoff is eyepopping memorable magic.

I haven been performing Twisted Sisters for over 20 years, and never once have I had a spectator reach for the cards to look at them, or even ask to see them. After you perform TS, their minds are completely blown, 2 people chose cards, those cards changed places and turned themselves face up, then the rest of the cards are blank (I have been using blank cards instead of jokers since I have been doing it). The last thing on their minds are trick cards. That being said, I understand the verbal slight of hand principal to this version of it, and the sleight i can do in my sleep, but the one thing that I can see is a drawback is that you, the magician has to be one of the people who chooses one of the cards, instead of using 2 spectators, or 1 spectator choosing 2 cards. Am I correct in this? If I am, due to the fact I have never had anyone question the cards in use, I just wonder if the cards being examinable at the end is worth it enough to have to use yourself and someone else, instead of 2 spectators? Anyone have insight to this?
