Okay here's a beauty of trick..Its more of an update of an old Copperfield effect.

Effect:

A deck of cards is handed out to be shuffled by spectator 1. Then spectator2 is instructed to reach anywhere into the deck, pull out a card, shove it in his back pocket, keeping its identity a secret form everyone -including himself.

the magician then takes out his cellphone and asks spectator 2 to hold his hands wide apart. The magician snaps a picture..

ending 1: the magician then shows the photo he took. In the photo you see spectator 2 with his hands wide apart- but between them is a card.

he then removes the card or turns it over to show that the magic photo matches the selection.


Setup : After a once off setup - you will be able to perform this impromtu anywhere anytime.

Requirements: a cellphone with a camera (a nokia is prefered)

So what do you think ? worthwhile?

Very interesting...if it doesn't require a gimmicked deck or a stooge this could kill..
Looking forward to know more about it.

Hmmm....

can be done with an ordinary deck. definately no stooge

Ok I can see a way of doing this, ivlovling the amazing technology of cellphones and a force card ...Never thought of combinig both, nice thinking there my friend. Good luck with it...

I am sure I know how it works. Sounds OK to me.

The working is not complicated..but its the performance that should matter..you can takje the pic and blue tooth it to someone in the crowd

This is a great old Polaroid effect. Much more impressive with a Polaroid camera.

Good up to date with the culture effect if you ask me.

This is similar to an effecr called "Say Cheese" which uses a Polaroid camera.

Great idea! It's a nice reworking of an old trick involving the technological advancement of this generation.

Like the idea a lot. I think it could be very popular with teenagers as they are the target of the camera mobile phone.

McGyver,

I think I just saw the routine you've just mentioned. Similar to the one you were explaining and was done by Marco Tempest. Check this link

Well that's life i;m afraid ..ideas are always conceived by more than one mind

Anyway, that was a nice effort on your side McGyver! To come up with an idea like that is really something. Cheers!

Interesting to see Tempest also performs Icarus Effect on that television programme.

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention the Icarus effect by Marco. Those were some awesome magic!
