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.

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!

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.
Buy it now and you will be surprised

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.

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

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.
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.
