SleightfulMagic Review - Synaptic by Conjuring Lab
Magic Orthodoxy reviews Synaptic by Conjuring Lab, a card trick that creates a powerful coincidence effect where the magician predicts both a spectator's physically chosen card and the card they were merely thinking of. The method is self-contained, requiring no gimmicks or pre-show work, and works with any borrowed, shuffled deck that can be examined afterward. The reviewer praises the clever application of a classic principle, noting it's best for intermediate card handlers who can confidently execute basic controls and focus on strong presentation to maximize the effect's impact.
