So, I got this and although I find it very interesting and, as all of Fraser's works I had the pleasure of reading, extremely clever, I prefer Ouija over Sync.
I respectfully disagree with Pablo when he says Sync is more direct. The spectator "never saying a word" is kind of true, but I don't feel that point in particular makes the effect stronger. And the process in Sync is longer than Ouija, although it is still pretty fast. So, all in all, there is some great thinking here, as I've come to expect from Fraser, but I guess I'll stick with Ouija ![]() |

I think that a logical person would figure out this method, no? The spectator may not know exactly what is going on, but there is a process...and it can be "backtracked" in the mind...no?

Not sure if using electronics to perform certain effects can be backtracked, but your point is taken in that this is not easily backtracked. Thanks!

Hi Alex,
I noticed that in some of your reviews, you state that YOU will be using the reviewed item in your own show. In this particular case, you are shying away from using Sync in your own shows. Is there a reason why you will not be using this in your shows? Kevin Quote:

I bought Sync and I would buy it again: it has some very good ideas and actually I'm already thinking about how I can use the core principle in different ways. I would love to get False Messiah, but it is way out of my limited budget ![]() |

I prefer the feel to the name guess in False Messiah, however Sync is perfect in terms of its simplicity and is a better method for divining any word thought of completely prop-less.

I recently purchased Sync. I finally had a chance to read it, and field test it a little. Granted I've only done it a handful of times, but it went over smooth and with great reactions. I love peopless Mentalism, and this is a HUGE step forward in the area of propless mindreading. I recommend it to everyone interested in this type of plot. Fraser is a sharp kid with a bright future. I look forward to more of his work. I look forward to adding Sync as a regular, in my reprertore of anytime anywhere Mentalism performances.

I have to admit I was a bit sceptical after reading and re-reading this, and then going over it in my head for a week. But first time out of the box it worked. You wouldn't think something so simple in theory could work so elegantly, but it did. Now I admit that this first time and the next few times I'll be sticking to star signs, but I can see me using this for names and cities as well. Really great premise that deserves some time and thinking..... Not sure if I want too many people to know about it though.....

Your quote below says better method. BUT...your ad copy says perfect method. Is the ad copy accurate that this is the absolute perfect method?

What would be better for guessing a single digit number, this or Ross's ''Abyss'' ?

With Ross' method the spectator has to name multiple letters. Sync allows you to do this without the spectator saying a anything.

The method seems like the same one in false messiah.

This is NOT the same method as False Messiah but is a nice additional technique to add to your arsenal of prop-less mentalism.
