Pseudo-code goes here - 

var thisEntity = getEntity(); 
var newEntity;
var myPropArray = [];
for each property in entity { copy property;  myPropArray.push(property) }
var params = JSON.stringify(myPropArray);
newEntity = manager.createEntity('MyEntityType', params);

...

Profit.

You can export the specific entity and import it into another entityManager. This is effectively a clone.

var exportedEntities = entityManager1.exportEntities([myEntity]);  
var clonedEntities = entityManager2.importEntities(exportedEntities);
