This is a great effect . the method is genius . you are only going to need to touch the business
card for 3-6 seconds and the spectator are NOT going to notice it because you are going to 'cover'
it with a natural patter . it's sad though cause people are reviewing the demo instead of the effect
itself which is all it's about .

The preview is a little misleading; you have to hold the business card in your hand then hand it
back to the person, before you can Read their minds, (words can be a little tricky to get). The
DVD does go into how to make the gimmick in different colors.
The trick is easy; it takes a few
minutes to Master. One problem is you cant reset instantly (I cant said too much more or Ill
give too much information on how the trick is done.

i love sync. its a very very neat little secret. there are many really powerful tricks on this dvd.
by no means is holding a business card and telling someone what theyre thinking the least that you
can do with this. seriously i love this effect and the dvd is incredibly well edited, and produced.
think...impression device, with no impression device. all u need is a sharpie.

You can only "predict"simple shapes so I wouldn't recommend this for a mentalist effect at all and
for thirty dollars too I don't think so you would be better off getting any other mental effect

I have been into magic for years, mostly finger flinging card magic. In the past year or so I have
gone more towards mental magic and mentalism, trying to reduce the sleight of hand and increase the
showmanship. Ive successfully used center tears, billet switches, peeks, and imp devices, but
nothing is as simple and "organic" as SYNC. For new magicians, it will really help you to work on
your presentation because you wont be worried about doing "work" to get the written thought!

This is a reasonably good system for drawing duplication but I would go with another method for
words. The card 100% does need to be handled briefly AFTER the spectator writes on it and this
absolutely does NOT work on all types of business cards (it does work on many however) SYNC provides
us with yet another solid method for acquiring information. In the end it really depends on your
routine and exactly what you need or want to accomplish. Beware you may not receive a black sharpie
you may get a blue or red. The DVD does explain how to construct the marker in different colors
however.
Good production value on the DVD!

Its a great effect the only reason I gave it the rating I did is because I feel like the price is
pretty steep for what you learn other than t house at its a great effect justin miller does an
awesome job in teaching it and goes into great detail

the magic is not in the prop...it's in the presentation.
this is one of those utility ideas
that can and should be used in far more ways than are shown on the DVD. i am not a fan of Mr Miller,
though i appreciate that he has talent that i don't yet possess. this item actually was in my
drawer for the longest time, even after getting some of the "needed" add-on's. it's an eerie
mentalism effect, and i'm currently putting together a mentalism set. SYNC is toward the top of the
list--it's a good early/late middle effect; one to engage the audience with.

This is a great effect. I believe this has been re-issued with Justin Miller's ideas and
presentation. He shows a variety of ways to use this effect, not only a business card. there is an
awesome effect using pennies. It is really strong. He also re-worked the method with the business
card that is very strong. This is something you will want to have handy. It can be done totally
impromptu with no reset required. Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic principle!
if you don't like the handling provided use a little bit
your brain and you can make a miracle!
I LOVE SYNC!
