Synaptic by Conjuring Lab

Synaptic - any good?

Well it arrived as usual in record time from monster magic, cannot fault the service! The device fits in your palm and you can perform miracle feats of mental magic! I love the birthday routine as it makes me look like a maths genius! The card hacker is amazing too! Takes a bit of practice but well worth it!

Incredible

This is definitely one of the best electronic gimmicks for mentalism that 100% justifies its price. It’s very compact and incredibly easy to palm in your hand. It works without Bluetooth or an internet connection. The battery life is quite solid. It comes with 6 routines, and at least 2 more are already confirmed to be released in the near future. Regular updates and improvements to the existing routines. Detailed and very clear video instructions (around 35 videos, approximately 5 minutes each). This isn’t pure mentalism in the sense of doing something outright impossible (like mind reading, etc.). But these are very powerful routines that make you look like a super-brain in the eyes of the audience — capable of performing incredible calculations on the spot without any visible effort. And that’s no less astonishing than mind reading. The only downside is that the buttons have a click that’s too loud. You won’t be able to use this gimmick in a quiet room — only in places with background noise. That’s disappointing. Many manufacturers of similar devices (not just Conjuring Lab) seem to deliberately leave this flaw in their products. Yet it’s more than obvious that buttons in this kind of gimmick should be silent. Especially since mentalism is often performed in a quiet, controlled setting, maintaining a certain tension in the air. But when the buttons click like crickets, that atmosphere is impossible to preserve. Nevertheless, the gimmick is excellent and worth the price. Respect to Alex, as always, for the top-tier service. Buy only from Monster Magic!

Amazing Device

As a big fan of ‘Social’ magic I'm always on the lookout for things to use in an apparently impromptu situation and Synaptic fits the bill perfectly…and then some. It’s a small device that fits comfortably in finger palm, is invisible if you hold a pen at the same time, and is very easy to use, even for someone with large sausage fingers like me. The info is easy to input, and to receive, and with the fact that this is self contained and needs no Wi-Fi means you don’t have to worry about getting a signal. The included effects are superb with Full Circuit Master and Card Hacker being my particular favourites at the moment. Six effects come as standard and there’s a promise of more to come, with the unit being updated by plugging it into a computer. I’m extremely happy with this little unit and, as always, with the fantastic service you always get from Monster. Recommended.
