John Bannon’s “Twisted Sisters” – A Diabolical Masterpiece of Card Magic
Twisted Sisters by John Bannon is one of magic’s all-time best-selling and most celebrated packet tricks. A true modern classic, this effect combines direct impact, audience participation, and a brilliantly deceptive method — all without requiring sleight of hand. If you’re looking for a jaw-dropping routine that packs small but plays huge, this is it.
Effect
The magician displays two packets of four face-down cards — one with red backs, the other with blue backs. The spectator freely chooses either packet — no force involved. They are told to imagine that their chosen packet contains four face-down queens. Then, they think of any queen — a truly free mental selection.
A second spectator does the same with the other packet, choosing a different queen. The magician then claims that the two thought-of queens have magically traded places.
When the first spectator names their queen, the magician spreads the cards — the thought-of queen is now face up! The same miracle happens with the second spectator’s selection! But that’s not all...
- The queen in the red packet is turned over — it now has a blue back.
- The queen in the blue packet is turned over — it now has a red back.
- And for the ultimate kicker: the remaining cards are not queens at all — they’re Jokers!
Why It’s a Must-Have
- No sleight of hand required – perfect for all skill levels.
- Powerful multi-phase routine with escalating surprises.
- Completely examinable before and after performance.
- Compact and practical – ideal for close-up, walk-around, or stage.

Included
- Specially printed Bicycle cards
