We've put on the market a killer effect with your smartphone!

This is a brand new way to do magic with any freely chosen card appearing right in your spectator's hand!

Imaging the following. You take a photo of your spectators holding an imaginary card - they're really just holding up their fingers. They then hold onto the phone. You have them choose a random card, without any looking. You tell them to imagine that card in their mind. When your spectators turn over your phone, they find a magical miracle -- the photo now shows them holding their chosen card - it appears right in your spectator's hand! Remember, when the photo was taken, they were not holding any card at all. Now, it's their exact card in their own hand in the photo. Reactions are incredible!

Available on the App Store and Google Play to download now.

Not to happy Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 26th, 2018
I just bought this a week ago an am very upset about this product. It won't work every time I tried to take a picture the app would say error. I tried email the company who produced this an I couldn't send it. My email told me this email is not valid. So I will definitely never buy from this company again. An in truth I'd want them to refund me.an if you have a android avoid this.

Clever idea but the app needs more work Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 24th, 2018
This is a clever idea. However, it requires certain conditions to work well--a steady hand, right lighting conditions, and the participant positioning their hand correctly. I have tried this several times, and in most cases, it looks rather fake. Because it looks fake, participants immediately ask if that's an app (though impressed that I still knew their card). If you work in dim lit bars, then this app will not work well.
Hopefully, they will come out with a new version of the app that allows you to adjust for all lighting conditions and scale for all possible positions.

Deserve better review s Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 20th, 2018
I give this a four-star it is a really nice effect. You must however be careful that no one is behind you when you take the photos. You can really have a spectator think of any card and present this as a mental effect or you can have a spectator really choose any card from any deck. If you are fast when it comes to finding your app and choosing the card that The Spectator chose you can really make this a nice trick and no one will even think that there is an app at play. It all depends on your presentation so be creative. Some people are trying to download the app without making the purchase only to find that you need a code and they're giving it a bad review in the App Store. Have fun and again be creative that's what magic is all about I prefer to actually have the spectator take the deck choose a card have a Spectators friend hold their fingers up The Spectator will show me the card I will then pretend that I'm thinking of it and bring my mentalism at Play as I quickly find that card on the app I will take the picture of their friend holding their fingers out and when I show the photo which by the way will automatically go to your photo library that is the cool part and wow just like that no one is really thinking of an app it just looks like a really cool magic .trick

Wow - amazingly terrible - do not buy this Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 21st, 2018
I thought of several ways this could be done, and this was the one that I dismissed because "nobody would sell something that dumb".

In only the friendliest of conditions could this be performed - you would need to position your spectator's hand "for them" for this to work. Distance, lighting, you or the spectator moving the slightest bit - this WILL NOT work.

It also wouldn't look anything like the advertisement shows if you did pull it off.

Now I Have Phone issues Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 26th, 2018
After only about a couple of weeks I've noticed that my Android phone will turn off by itself whenever I'm doing anything on it. Don't even have to be using app. Is it just my phone?

card color too light Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 27th, 2018
I just performed this to a kid (around 13-15 y.o). It took me a minute to take the pic since i've got an unsteady hands. after taking the pic and letting the spec saw it. He was amazed but he suddenly grabbed my phone and zoomed the pic and immediately asked, what app do you use? the picture is just too light even though you have an option to make it darker a bit but still its too obvious. Hopefully they do something about the color of the app to make it realistic.

It works as expected, but better development would make it a much better product and worth the cost Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 23rd, 2018
It's a usable app, but in my opinion, it's not worth the price in it's current state. App seems more amateurish, and with some further development, it could be a decent app. Aligning the photo isn't always the easiest to do, not to mention getting lighting right, can make it seem you are taking too long to just take a photo. A simple addition would be to be able to make the card bigger or smaller to more easily get the card the right proportion size. Additionally, some smarter technology would enable to better align the card with the fingers 'holding' the card. In it's current state, it feels like a rushed release and not as polished as it should be.

All of that aside, the app does what it's meant to do and in the right situations, it's workable... but for a paid item, I would expect better quality built into the app.

average app but great effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 6th, 2018
I would say this app is just an average but it has a great effect. Get a beautiful spectator and perform this. it’s a good way for you to add her on facebook or instagram and even probably get her ph# :) why? Coz you can send the pic to her messenger and she can take it as a souvenir. lol

I gave it a 3 star coz once you zoom in the card it is very obvious and the spec would definitely think that there is an app. and one more thing, you must have a steady hand for you to take a shot quickly otherwise the spec would think that you are doing something on your phone.

But we magicians are very creative so im pretty sure we can create a lot of ideas on how to perform this. :)
