This is ok, but Morgan acts like everyone you perform for is going to be a moron, which is 1 of only
2 options for this to work (the second option being that your audience is drunk beyond recognition).
It could work if you mix it in with City Prediction and iCurveball so that you have more time to
cleanup, (he says 99% of people don't know about their deleted photos folder, which is total crap,
you will need to clean up after that) but overall basic concept. I knew this is what I was buying,
and I gained one tip to use that I may not have immediately figured out on my own, but if you think
you know how this works, you're probably right. Not for the beginner, audience management skill
required.
Last thing: Don't let the spectator's friend take the photo. The bottom left
corner of the camera app shows the last thing taken and they will see that more often than not.

In a word: disapointed. If you're willing to do xxx and yyy, covertly, and also do zzz, this might
work. But there are angle and practice issues, and then you may, may get this right. Just kind of
impractical, at least in my mind. I thought it had potential but like other Sans Mind products, the
video doesn't show the real story.

i just recieved this in the mail yesterday and i have to say , i was a little disappointed. no
reason this couldnt have been half the price and an instant download. waste of money on all the
packaging. i tried it with two family members and both attempts failed. ive been a magician for over
30 years and this was a major disappointment. not worth the money, if anything it should be a free
download.

Where do I start? You have someone's phone for a while and talk a lot while holding their phone. And
that could cause problems because how long would you let a stranger hold your phone for? In this,
Morgan says you have to build a rapport with your audience, and that's true you do. The second thing
the picture where you're gone the spectator may have smiled when the photo was taken and if that's
the case this will ruin the effect because they may notice.
Let's say you take the photo with
the magician and the spectator smiles in the picture, then later on she looks and there she is with
no smile and the magician is gone. It seems strange to me. Or if the spectator makes a pose or
something then this effect won't work. Also the background may not be the same. Some people you
might be able to pull it off with. But I really think this trick sucks and I won't ever be using it.
It's crap that gets put away in the drawer.

took one for the team and bought the instant download... as most sansminds tricks, this was overall
disappointing. i was pretty sure on the method, and i was totally correct. while there are some
great pointers on handling and presentation, i just think this effect would never work on someone in
their 20s-30s which i mainly work with. there are cooler iphone effects using Pano mode, etc, and i
just can't recommend this at its 20 dollar price point.

The presentation was very well explained; however, watching the trailer was kind of misleading even
though watching the explanation, and performing it requires a lot of practice, by getting use to the
grip of the phone, and standing to a certain spot in order to take an accurate photo.
The
main advantage for this trick is the background and people often tend to observe the picture
carefully and memorizing the parts in the picture which I usually don't like for them to do. For
myself, I highly recommend performing this trick to where that there isn't any cluttering meaning
lot of crowds, and lots of things shouldn't be there in the back. I usually perform this to where
the background is blank and few crowds (Of course with no crowds would be better!). Likewise, with a
plenty of practice, you should try taking the photo as best as you can that way no one will be
questioning and ruining it.
Speaking of their face expression when they're smiling or
making silly/duck faces while taking a picture with the spectator is also important when it comes
time to reveal the photo at the end of the trick. When people essentially does that, I tend to tell
them to keep they're faces relaxed/normal (Which is kind of rude to them) that way they will not see
any changes from their faces. It's best not to take pictures with duck faces or smiles.
I
only gave 3 stars for this trick because of the fact that I gave two of my opinions.

Don't own an iPhone so nothing to practice with. My Galaxy does not have the quick setting buttons
like the iPhone demo.Nice concept for iPhone users but not for droid.

Sans minds as of late have pretty much been the lowest of lows when it comes to magic. The trailers
for some of their effects look incredible but in real life after you purchase it it is nothing like
it was demonstrated. Then comes Morgan, whom his videos and tricks in the past were very good.
His bending routines are top notch. What do you get when they combine????? A piece of junk. After
purchasing this and watching it a few times, I know that there is no way this fools anyone. It
would have been nice if there was some type of gimmick (ie Andrew Maynes Ghost Vision which is
awesome and fools people) to accomplish the desired effect. I am mortified that Morgan will be
releasing all his future effects with Sans Minds --uugg. I hope this release is no indication of
the things to come. If you do buy this you, like I will say REALLY!!!! I paid for this??? Even
as a free download you would say Really!!! I am wasting space on my hard drive for this!!!

I gave it two stars for being creative and in the live performance on the dvd, Morgan shows himself
doing all the dirty work to accomplish the trick. Why I did not give it any more stars is because
there are too many holes in trying to accomplish this. Number one is that nobody knows how to
manipulate all the different phones out there. He does it with an IPhone but where is the silence
button on a LG blah blah blah? In order to do the dirty work, you have to be familiar with the
phone. Number two, the people will have to either be drunk or dumb to not see that you are showing
two different shots of them. It might fly for some but others will be wondering why their smile or
silly face is also gone along with you. Sorry, but creative is all this is.

There is "works on any brand" which is not true because only iPhones have this turn volume off
button. Furthermore, only iPhones can take pictures without passcode, so there are two reasons the
spectators phone has to be an iPhone....
