Synchronicity - Eddie Joseph's Staggered
In this new publication, we revisit Eddie Joseph's "Staggered." This effect, along with Premonition and Bombay, remain Joseph's lasting legacy to the generations of magicians that have followed him. All three attest to his genius at crafting unique, truly inexplicable mental card miracles. You introduce two decks - one red, one blue, along with an envelope containing your prediction card. A spectator now freely chooses a card from one of the decks and turns it face up. He then deals a face up card from each deck and continues this process until the card he chose turns up in the other deck. At this point he stops dealing and opens the envelope with your prediction - the card inside matches the one paired with his card. If you like, you can follow the effect up with the revelation of a second card. In addition to the basic handling, we provide a way to improve performance flexibility, as well as an alternate Psychic Sympathy presentation where one spectator finds the card selected by another. 5 pages.
