Use a cheap Chinese trigger set - couldn't be safer. One transmitter, one
receiver and the slave will fire the other flash head.
I prefer this type as the trigger is in the mains power line and doesn't need
batteries.

I've been using four similar sets for around three years. One transmitter unit
died and I had to change the batteries in two others (a simple screwdriver
job). They work flawlessly on my Canon gear - never miss a shot. That's not bad
for the price. I could go to something expensive I suppose but why bother?
