This is an effect that uses entanglement to move the state of one particle to a different particle. You're describing only entanglement, so that's only half the puzzle.

And you're describing entanglement in a misleading way. The most important part of entanglement is that you can't model it as two particles sharing secret data. When you touch one, you affect the output of the other. And this happens faster than light. It still looks random on each end, but once you combine the measurements you can see patterns.
