Any phone that can take a picture can be used - to do it as per the instructions, you need to know how to turn the camera sound off, or to find a way to make that not matter

I don't have this but it looks awesome.
I have a nice simple method (iPhone only) that I have been playing around with for a few weeks now that will eliminate the second photo being taken but you can still show that photo. I know that doesn't make sense but it's 100% possible to show a photo that has not been taken. I will record it asap for you guys and place the link in inner thoughts. Myke X |

For Android, if you turn the sound down for the phone ring, you turn off the camera click - so it would be fairly easy to do this, then turn it back up again - though there is a sound when you do the latter - definitely worth playing around with though!

Impression – Jason Yu
Product description : This is a « new » effect which uses a white card, the smartphone of the spectator and some signatures. You take a picture of the signed white card with THEIR smartphone, they can see the white card on it and a few moment later, a card is printed on the picture, the card they chosed. Price and where to buy it : This is sold at $34.95 and you can find it in nearly every Murphys partner (so you can get it at your favorite magic shop) What you get : You get a well shot DVD, as usual with all Sansminds ones. It runs about 30 minutes and you get what you need to know, nothing less, nothing more. You are also provided with 2 gimmicks which are really well made and should last a long time if you take care of them. Teaser : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T5DJQuIln4 The pros and the cons : Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end. THE CONS : - The add copy is VERY misleading since it is written that « The spectator thinks of a playing card » which is completely false ! They do not think of a card, they take one out of a pack which 2 things very different. I was quite disappointed when I watched the DVD and found that it was a chosen card. - You will have to consider your angles on this one, nobody can be on your side when you are taking the picture since they would understand the trick. You have to use audience management to tell everybody to go behind the card so that they will all be on the photo. - Some OS as the last iOS may be a problem for the trick. Not that people will notice anything or find anything that could ruin the method but still, they could find something which shouldn't be there. Maybe it's not a problem but I wanted to point it out. THE PROS : - It's a very strong trick if you think about it. It's on the spectator phone, no app, no special ink or whatever, it's a real picture which can be taken with any smartphone. - It leaves people with an impossible souvenir they can show to their friends and family, I really think this could be a reputation maker if done correctly since people love having a « thing » like a bent coin or a signed card they can show around and say « he bent the coin with his hands » or « he made my cards appear on the picture on MY phone ». - Speaking about phone, think about the possibilities of booking you could get thanks to that photo. You have people sending you the photo and you have all their informations or they could publish it on your Facebook wall and you get more views. This is a really connected trick which can bring a lot of attention and get you some more gigs. Overall rating : I quite liked the trick, not being a Sansminds fan, but the fact they lied in the add copy is very bad for me, I will only give this a 2,5/4 hearts because it's a good trick but unfortunately, they lied so it won't get more from me. As for the difficulty, there are no complicated sleight or anything, 2/5 stars ! Similar products : The download from Asi Wind called « Double Exposure » is kind of the same premise but it doesn't require any gimmick, just a regular pack of card but you will need some skills. Thanks to Murphys Magic for sending me this product !

Does it cause a problem if the iPhone locks up (goes into password mode) during the performance. If the spectator has to punch in her pin, I'm wondering what screen will pop up. Maybe when the camera app is open it doesn't time out. Anyone know for sure?

You would be able to access the camera through that mode without the need to put in a passcode, and once the owner goes back through the passcode, it will go into the app they were last in, not the camera app. Also, I've just checked on my iPhone, and if you are in the camera app, the default settings is for the phone to not lock up (turn off the screen). Hope this answers your questions. -NuKraze |

I just got this trick, and have been playing around with it but haven't shown it to a live audience yet. Based on what has been said already in this thread, I don't think I'm giving to much away when I ask the following question of those who have been using this regularly in the real world:
The DVD says a lot about turning off the sound, but nothing about turning off the flash. Jason Yu does all his performing on the DVD outside, but for indoor performances in low light situations, you are going to have a hard time performing the trick unless you use flash -- which of course will give away the fact that you have taken more than one picture. But in thinking about this issue, it seems to me that it probably doesn't matter all that much if the audience knows you took two pictures. In fact, you could do it quite openly -- just pretend that you messed up the first picture (lighting issues, forgot to tell the spectator to smile, too much reflection...whatever excuse you prefer) and pretend to delete it. Then take another picture. At this point the audience has no idea where you are going with the routine, and they'll probably forget you even took the first picture; and even if they don't, they will believe that the FIRST picture is the one you deleted. I don't see how this would lead them to a realization of the secret. I'm not suggesting this as the default method, but as a fallback in situations of low lighting, or where you cannot quickly turn off the flash and sound on a strange phone, I don't see it as a big giveaway regarding method. Any opinions about this approach? |

Old thread I know but I purchased this yesterday and I can see the potential. I am going to work this into a routine using two decks,one blank and one printed
