"David has created the holy grail of matching effects! This is by far the best method I've seen - the cards do all the work and it looks so clean it's criminal. With no table needed and an almost instant reset, it’s perfect for strolling magicians and mentalists!" - Gary Jones

"David has taken one of the strongest ESP plots and given it a brand new look along with a punch-to-the-gut high impact climax." - David Regal

"I love everything about Color Sync. No abstract ESP cards, no table needed, and an AMAZING method that’s a worker!" - Greg Rostami

"Color Sync is an exceptional piece of direct and visual mentalism that will leave audiences dumbfounded. It’s also easy to understand, making it perfect for loud working environments or if there is a language barrier. The best thing of all is that it is completely self-working. Highly recommended!" - Paul Brook

"An amazingly visual matching effect! Superbly thought out, easy to follow and very direct. This is an absolute winner!" - Steve Dela

"This is great. Just great. Like I am going to use this all the time great!" - Jon Armstrong

There isn’t an easier way to predict the actions of your spectators than this. Perfectly predict the choices of your audience even though they make all of the decisions. Reveal that you and your spectator have matched the colors of the cards with no funny moves, no equivoque, and no verbal gymnastics. The choices are one hundred percent free and fair, and yet you are correct every single time. This is Color Sync by David Jonathan.

Here’s what happens:

The magician introduces a set of white cards and a set of black cards that each have boldly colored faces. The spectator takes one set, and the magician takes the other. Both the magician and the spectator mix their packets. One at a time, the spectator places their face-down cards onto the magician's face-down cards. When the cards are turned over, the color pairs match perfectly every time.

This trick is more than a little insane. Not only do the cards do all the work, but your audience has a truly free choice the entire way through the routine. The magician doesn’t even have to hold the cards. The magician can place each of their cards out on the table, and then the audience can place their cards on top of the magician’s individual cards, and without even stacking the pairs, they can still be turned over to show that the colors match. This is the classic 5-card ESP Matching plot, but unlike you’ve ever seen it before. These beautiful cards with brightly colored faces are instantly accessible to any audience with no need to explain what the symbols are or the concept of ESP. This can play for magicians and mentalists and fits inside your wallet. You receive the very special cards that make this amazing effect possible, along with a detailed instructional video from David Jonathan that takes you through many incredible handling options that seem incredibly fair to even the most jaded audience member. This is a matching trick that drops jaws and leaves your audiences stunned. This is Color Sync by David Jonathan.

This will be at the top of the best sellers list in no time! This is so good! I too, have become less enthusiastic about using ESP cards for mental match-up effects. David has created a worry-free worker for all levels of expertise. Thanks to David and PM for this wonderful release. You WILL use this!!

I received the Penguin email blast today about ColorSync. When I saw the name David Jonathan, it’s an instant purchase for me. I obviously haven’t received the cards yet, but I watched the tutorial. What a great method! He solved every 5x5 issue I’ve ever had. Whether it’s the one behind principle with markings, or something else, David solved the riddle. It’s awesome and it was a no brainer when I saw his name, but it’s even more of a no brainer after watching the tutorial. I can’t wait to receive this! Thanks to David Jonathan and Penguin, for another monster creation that will get plenty of use!!!

This is utter genius I love it.
Perfect for the worker or hobbyist alike.
Self working, instant reset, can be done standing in walk around etc.
Can also be done beautiful at a table too.
Various really great ideas taught.
It’s one of those rare gems where you fool yourself practising it.
David is one of the most prolific creators of absolute gems in the modern era.
It’s a total no brainer imho Gaz (magic cafe) 😊

Clever But Not 100% Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 8th, 2022
The special something used on the cards is nothing new to Pro's like myself, however, it has its own issues and makes this effect a real pain.

You have to "redo" the cards every dozen or so performances, more-so on the white and colored cards than the black ones. I wish the creator of the "stuff" would create a better product.

None the less, the trick is still better than the ESP cards which are a pain to see in dim light.

Great effect but in no way self working! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 28th, 2023
I REALLY wanted to like this effect as it uses colorful cards and is quite visible to anyone either closeup or for groups!
The principle of this is similar to other effects and I was really hoping that was NOT how the gimmick worked.

With that said...it is NOT 100% reliable and you have to be super careful "how" you spread the cards and display the cards throughout the routine especially the result at the end.

As far as how long these cards will actually be useable...not sure as this principle must be handled and stored a certain way to keep it consistent.

Overall a great trick, but certainly overpriced for what you get and for how it is produced.

Greasy and unusable Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 21st, 2023
After only an hour of practice and learning the effect the cards are unusable. Why this was done the way it was and not with something more substantial is beyond me. So much dirt shows on the cards now they're completely unusable.

30.00 sticky mess.

Very disappointed with this one.

Just too inconsistent Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 20th, 2023
I wanted to love this trick but it's too inconsistent, does not work 100% of the time.
Also as other people have pointed out you have to "Redo" the cards every 3 or 4 times you do the trick.
I tried to spread the cards in my hand just could not do it, I had someone else try and they also could not spread the cards like David does.
I guess this one will go in the drawer.

The spectator is the star. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 10th, 2022
The spectator isn’t just watching, they are involved with actions almost as much as you are. They follow your move, not the other way around. If you were following their placement, they would think you might be “reading” their card, and through some sleight, you were pulling out the right card to match. This will short circuit that analysis.

The instructions show a standing way to do it and a table version.
The reveal can be all at once, in pairs, or one card at a time.

I think showing all of them at once matching pairs, may get them thinking “What am I looking at? Ohhhhh!”

The other method is you both shuffle 5 cards. You place yours randomly on the table. They follow with random placement on top of your cards. The reveal is one pair at a time. Will the next turnover be a match or a miss? I like this slow reveal. Your placement is clean. The standing version has you moving two cards from the top to the bottom, which may seem suspicious when they backtrack the thought process. It might help if you make a point of the move with the first pair.

I just started playing with it, and it’s a winner. The colors are bright which indicates it’s not going to a regular card trick. There’s one move that’s easy, but it will take a few runthroughs to do it at speed.

This will totally baffle your participant.

This is so dang clever, I had to laugh at the method. It's amazing. And 100% a worker. Easily worth every cent.

Good…but Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 17th, 2023
The initial excitement I had was off set by the difficulty of getting the correct level of adhesion to make the whites stay together while still being able to ‘slide’ the black card from the pile of 3 without it separating or sticking too much. It will eventually work out I’m sure but it needs a lot more effort than is presented in the video. I would suggest putting a bit more emphasis on that aspect in the video.
