I can see why Denny bought the distribution rights to this effect. I remember the first time I bought a multi-climax routine like this. It was produced by my friend Tom Burgoon and called Quad. Like this effect, it had four climaxes and required zero skill. I think the hard part in creating an effect like this is making each of the climaxes make sense in the context of the routine. We've all seen magicians who have ruined perfectly good tricks by adding more magic after a perfectly good ending. Quintuplicate Coincidence avoids this problem with grace. Each of the four climaxes makes perfect sense and each builds on the previous one. As mentioned, it requires zero technical skill. Members of your audience do all the work, thanks to the devious method explained by Karl Fulves in More Self-working Card Tricks. Jamy Ian Swiss penned the instruction booklet. As expected, full credit and history is provided. The instructions are clear and without all of the nasty grammatical errors I see in so many manuscripts these days. There's one more thing I loved about the props. I remember getting a "Rainbow Deck" when I was young. It was cool, but nobody could really identify the card backs. It really looked like something out of a magic shop. Thanks to David VanVranken, this version uses legit casino cards. Even if you've never heard of the casinos, it's obvious that they're "real" cards.

This is a Denny & Lee exclusive. Here is Scotty York's version of David Van Vranken's version of Gemini Twins. This has all been redesigned with a gambling or casino theme. This deck of cards is made of entirely of different backs from various casinos around the world. Two prediction cards are dealt face up on the table and two spectators select cards from the balance of the face down deck. Not only do the two selections match the prediction cards, the backs are turned over and they also match. For the finale, the deck is spread and the selections and predictions are the only red cards in the entire deck. The rest of the deck is clubs and spades. All can be examined. No switches, no sleight-of-hand. A self working effect with a terrific Scotty York casino theme presentations. Complete with cards and book of instructions.
