Digital Conviction is an amazing effect that can be performed anywhere and anytime with all borrowed objects. Everything is completely ungimmicked and examinable and the spectator keeps a souvenir that will surely make you unforgettable.

Here is what happens in the effect. You approach the spectator and remove a joker or any card out of the deck. "We will use this as the wild card but we'll get back to that in a moment. Please will you select any card?" The spectator has a free choice of any card, nothing is forced. The selected card then gets lost in the deck. "Let's get back to the Joker." You remove the joker and place their initials on the corner of the joker. "Remember the joker is the wild card. Let's make this moment more memorable and take a picture." You now borrow their camera phone and take a picture of the joker with their initials. The spectator confirms that the picture on the camera phone is the initialed joker. The phone is immediately handed to the spectator and placed face down in their hand. "If I take the joker that we just took a picture of and give it a shake you can see that it changes to your selected card". With a closer examination the spectator sees that her initials are now on the selected card. Now you go in for the kill. "If that card changed in my hand then the picture in your hand should have changed too!" BIG reaction as the spectator just realized that they saw you take a picture of a joker with THEIR initials on it and it changed to their selected card with their initials on it.

This effect is huge and it's a worker.

Here are a few important points to remember:

  • Uses no gimmicks
  • Easy to do
  • Freely chosen card
  • Uses all borrowed objects
  • Requires no setup
  • Use any phone with a camera function


Also as an added bonus you will receive an additional bonus effect using cards and a camera phone.

If you are looking for an effect where you don't have to carry any extra material and an effect you will actually do, then Digital Conviction is for you.

In this age of smartphones, this trick is obsolete Report this review

The thing that sold me on this trick on the demo, was the fact that you could see the photograph of the Joker briefly before the phone was placed down on the spectator's hand. This effect may have worked 5 years ago when most people still had a flip phone. Today's smartphones don't have the lag that is necessary to create this effect. Without this lag effect, the trick is still decent, but nowhere near as powerful as it could be. I give this 2 stars because without the spectator being able to see the picture of the joker, this effect becomes merely a trick instead of real magic.

Fantastic Trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 29th, 2009
This is a wonderful trick to do at parties. No gimmicks and nothing to prepare. Everything can be borrowed. This is the kind of magic that I like. The DVD is excellent. I wish more tricks were this easy with so much impact. My favorite trick to date!

Great trick in this Technology Age! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 1st, 2009
Wow! This trick is pretty good and requires a little bit of sleight, but I'm a beginner and with a little practice, I can easily pull this off. For those of you thinking, oh this trick requires the phone to have delay on it, YOU'RE WRONG! At the end of his video is a GREAT bonus effect (another cell phone trick) which is even EASIER than the digital conviction trick! For all of this, you can't really beat the price.

good trick - bad teaching Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 28th, 2009
I could hardly endure the instructions on this DVD. The magician is clearly a good magician who has little or no teaching skills. His style is very disorganized and mixes in a lot of detail while he is showing you the mechanics. The illusion is good an cost effective - it just needs a much better instructional dvd.

digital conviction Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 21st, 2014
The thinking behind this works but...you need to be good at cardistry or have a vested interest in it to pull it off.

The psychology behind every move is so seamless, you can't really tell that 2 things are actually occuring at once (the presentation & the dirty work). One mixes into the other, quite well i might add.

I would agree that the explantation is lacking. The others that have rated this as amazing and what not, I would suspect deal with cards quite often which is fine but that does not take away form the fact that the explanation is lacking.

Lastly the fact that seasoned magicians would belittle a novice for being new or not having a interest in card magic is sad. Reminds me of the cool kids in high school that you meet 10 years later only to find out they work at Wendy's full time.

In conclusion great thinking and cleverly disguised effect. Explanation lacking. Good for those interesed in card magic and love sleight of hand.

I personally will not be performing this.

He does this well, but there are so many sleights/risk moves and angle concerns in the 1st few minutes of the instruction, most will find this a large amount of work/risk for little reward. Other phone effects have more impact for less risk

this effect is what you see is what you get i use the effect almost dailey i bought it when it first came out and paied 25 usd for the download and i was still super satisfied so at a far cheaper price here for an actaul dvd its a steal

the effect is just like it says you have great angels when preforming it and its a nice quick peice of visaul magic well worth the money worth at least 30 dollars

Decent idea but... Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 30th, 2017
When I received this I was excited to learn it but was a little disappointed with some parts of the method. I felt like it could've been a bit simplified and some things either didn't translate well to me or were just no realistic in applying to a real-world situation. Overall, this was my first Robert Smith purchase but i will hold off til I get more things from him before making a full critique.

Fools most people, but not ver big reactions Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 7th, 2017
I like the concept of this trick and I think it has potential. The trick is exactly as they say it is. The angles aren't very good though and it just doesn't get very big reactions. It's a cool fooler, but lacks the WOW factor.
