Showman, when equipped, allows duplicates of other Jokers, Planet Cards and Tarot to show up in the shop and Booster Packs. Normally, when players already have a particular Joker, Planet Cards or Tarot in their possession, the shop will never have a duplicate, but with Showman equipped, this is now possible.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
Any deck can benefit from Showman, but the 
Black Deck allows it to shine thanks to the +1 Joker Slot bonus.
Poker Hands[]
Showman doesn't directly synergize with any poker hands.
Jokers[]
Showman doesn't directly benefit any other Joker. However, the main benefit of Showman is that it is one of the only way to get multiple copies of the same joker, such as 
Blueprint, 
Brainstorm, 
Baron, 
The Idol, etc. However, due to the rarity of these jokers, Showman is really only effective in runs that plan to go far into Endless mode.
Consumables[]
Because Showman allows duplicated Planet cards to appear, it synergizes with the Observatory voucher as Showman makes it possible to keep holding onto Planet cards of said hand and still able to dig for more from the Shop.
This also means that when the Telescope voucher is not yet redeemed, planet packs become a lot worse when using Showman, as it will often contain duplicates of unwanted planets.
Trivia[]
- This Joker existed in the first playtest build, but was absent during the two public demos. However, numerous glitches that allow the same effect to be achieved were demonstrated during the time the demo was available, leading players to believe Showman was influenced by these glitches.
- This Joker used to be named "Ring Master" in early builds of the game, and is still referred to as such within the code as well as most translations.
- If players has Showman and manages to find another copy of their desired Joker (example, a second
Blueprint while already holding a Blueprint in their Joker lineup, selling it and buying the copy will allow said Joker to be found again in later shop without needing to have Showman. This is presumably a bug.
