Javier Natera presents his Penn & Teller: Fool Us routine, "Synchronous". This is a breathtaking, straightforward Sympathetic Card routine that is incredibly impossible, but easy enough for anyone to be able to do.

Two people. One deck. A perfect connection.

The deck is split in two, with the performer and the participant each taking half. Both the magician and participant place their packets under the table, freely selecting a card before placing it face-up in the center of their packet. When they place their packet on the table and spread, the two face-up cards match!

The magician invites the spectator to try it again, but this time, the magician leaves their packet on the table while the participant repeats the process. Despite never touching the cards, when the packets are spread, the cards match!

"Synchronous" comes with everything you'll need to perform this powerful routine.** Note: **You will need to use your own deck.

Customer reviews for Synchronous

Richard
Nice. I like this. This is an incremental step forward in method (using a principle I've most recently seen exploited by Benjamin Earl) to create a real leap forward in effect. As advertised, this effect is easy to do, will fool most magicians, and will slay laypeople, including my savvy wife. One of the reasons I love magic is that there's really nothig new under the sun. There are simply new applications or new combinings of old principles to create new effects. This is a great example of that. Simple, elegant, subtle, effective!
Sean
This will fit nicely into my close-up routine however, just be aware that when it says it comes with everything that you need to perform this trick, it does not. I do not use red maiden back bicycle cards, and had I known that this is how it comes I would have ordered a pack along with the gimmick so now I have to go and spend money plus packaging for a single deck of red card because I was under the assumption, this comes with everything you need to perform. So just make sure you have a pair of red back bicycles when you purchase.
Skye
A prime example of how utter simplicity in method can have a massive payoff in performance. Synchronous feels like its secret may be easy to trace for audience members, but it's pretty bulletproof and fooling. My first time performing it got such a strong reaction that I can't wait to use this on a more regular basis. It's just as adaptable to casual settings as it is to more formal performance. For $15, it's a no-brainer.
Vince
Not only is this a great effect but the teaching is just outstanding. You are shown two ways of performing, one with the special card and one without. You are supplied with several of the special somethings so you can repeat with different outcomes. There are two simple moves that need to be made but they are simple. For $15 you get a great effect. Highly recommended A+++++++++++++

  • Christian asks: You answer me that I will receive a package with this effect, but what is the contents of this package : deck of cards, only some gimmick cards, video, other gimmick, etc ?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:You receive a download link and some gaffs

  • Hady asks: Can be performed with normal deck ? or does it require a special deck or gimmick cards ?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:This requires a certain gimmick to perform

  • Andrew asks: When the cards are revealed are they an exact match (value/suit)? as the examples provided seem to contradict this (same value but different suit)

    • 1. Fabian responds:That wouldn't make sense. In the spectators mind, this is a single deck cut in half. So exact match cards would be really weird in a "normal" deck
    Post an answer to this question

  • Christian asks: What do we receive with this trick ? Just a video download ?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:No you will receive a package with this effect

  • Michael asks: Can this effect be repeated with different cads & can the faces of the other cards be shown?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It can be repeated twice in the routine and then you wouldn’t be able to perform this for the same group again

  • Ridho asks: is a sleight of hand needed? Is a table absolutely mandatory for the method, or can this be adapted for walk-around/standing situations where I might not have a table surface to hide things?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:This could be adapted if needed, there is some sleight of hand involved but he does teach other ways to do this

  • Evan asks: The demo routine shown is just a part of a larger routine on Fool Us. Is the entire routine performable with this effect? Or just the part that's shown in the demo vid?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:The supplier didn’t send us a full video however im sure you can find it on YouTube
