I didn't know mr. Rostmai till now. I was so surprised. Everything began in the ad video. This was funny. So, i decided to participate of the lecture.

During the lecture I remember telling myself 2 times: "beautiful magic" !

Guys, so many magics with an IPhone. For the first time in my life I wished to had an iPhone :). He is so worried of the technology doesn't receive the credits, that despite the magics happen in the iPhone, the spectator doesn't perceive this.

He is so generous that at the end of the lecture, we asked him do to an bonus magic, even if he didn't want to expose the secret. Not only he did it, but he insisted in reveal the secret !

This guy is so creative. If you like magic and technology, this is the lecture ! Let's go to the tricks:

- Cosmo 2 -> Out Of This World on steroids ! He let the spectator be the magician and do almost all the trick !!!

- Future Photo -> He takes an photo (with an iPhone) of an empty space and ask for the owner of the iPhone to choose an card. When the spectator sits down, he asks she to see the photo that was taken before she choosed the card. And for the surprise, the last photo taken from the gadget reveals to be one of the selected card !

- Power ball 6000 -> Power ball on steroids ! He predicts on the phone the number that the spectator will choose in the lottery tickets. Guys, this was so awesome.

He uses the same technology principle in so many tricks !

- Stuck - > and now, one of the most beautiful part of the lecture. This is an coin vanish. If like me, you are an magician, you already saw lot's of coin vanishes. But this is so beautiful and simple ! I didn't resisted and before the end of the lecture I bought the DVD (because he told that on the DVD he explains more variations). This is the first time that I bought something during the lecture !!!

Back to Stuck, the coin vanishes and reappears. See the You Tube videos or here at Penguin :) !

- The Claw -> Another coin vanish and reappears trick. Again, beautiful magic !

At this point, he got back to the tricks that uses Apps and the iPhone !

He presented an mentalism that the spectator selects an card, the magician calls someone on the phone and the person tells which card was choosen. No assistants ! Only you and the phone !

After that, he showed an variation where the spectator choosed an city and called to the magician's phone. As the magician didn't answered the call, the spectator receives an recorded message telling that the magician is in the choosed city ! Guys, when I saw that my jaw dropped ! Awesome ! Unfortunately, these last two I can't do in my country as here we speak portuguese instead of english ... but the principle is so powerful ! Hey Mr. Rostami, what about release this in portuguese ;) !

Next trick is still an mentalism but for now, he uses the NLP as a theme for the magic ! And again the iPhone passes unnoticed ! This is as you are doing the magic, and not the App.

- A kind of invisible deck without the invisible deck -> He done a kind of invisible deck routine and at the end, he used the IPhone to reveal the selected card. Again, the same App, the same principle. As you can see, this is so powerful that you are limited only by your imagination !

There are much more on the lecture !

Thanks Mr. Rostami for this great lecture !

Thanks to penguin and specially to Nate Kranzo that asked almost all questions that I done in twitter !
