Hey! I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'm basically wondering, is there a way of being two magicians, and doing ONE magic effect together?
Now, I've seen Jay Sankey and David Acer's take on this, and tried that out as well. Are there any other ideas published though?

But it's Regeneration. But here is the clip.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hWRbi5RTfM edit: one of the reason I like this clip is. Penn and Teller reaction. You can tell they enjoyed the creative of the trick. Because I thought they were just going to repair the corners. By the way it's Chris Funk |

Many years ago I did a silent act with doves and my friend who was also a magician. He was entirely dressed in black and he had the same props as me but painted black. He would have his table behind mine and we did the act to the music "me and my shadow" the hardest part was synchronising the moves.
We did it for quite a while and then he moved house so it came to an end.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

Why is this in the workers section?

No recording sadly, it was in the 70s. Before video existed. He did in fact try to mirror every move. That was why it ended, when he moved we couldn't put in enought time on the sync part of it he lived too far away.

I remember seeing Jason England do the "siamese second deal" where he was with someone else and one held the deck and the other dealt seconds.

I'm not exactly sure what the question is with two magicians doing ONE effect. As the facetious comments above point out, almost any time you have two magicians on stage, they're typically striving to create one effect. Now if you mean two magicians working separately, but producing the same effect on their lonesome, I can think of a couple of examples from Delgaudio and Guimarães' show "Nothing to Lose."
With the audience divided in half, the magicians performed the same trick for different halves simultaneously. A signed, selected card would jump to the performer's pocket once, twice, but the third time it was discovered that group 1's card was now in magician 2's pocket, and vice-versa.

Why is this in the workers section?" Because more people post here than anywhere else? Because "workers" effects are no less amenable to being performed by two people than any others? Because there is an absurd number of sections, often with dining-themed names that aren't clearly defined and are rarely visited? |

Ben Salinas and I would work large events table hopping. When we had the situation where we would be at opposite ends of the room, he would pretend to be caught in a jam and yell across the room asking me what card the spectator was thinking of. I would name the correct card. People loved it. The secret? The Aronson Stack.

Was my example not on subject here? Or am I confused?

I've got the same question ... My examples were Ziegfried and Roy, and The Pendragons ... both 2-person magical acts. The OP did not specify cards tricks in his original post.
