I just picked this up and loaded it into my iphone. Every and I mean EVERY iphone/itouch owner should pick this up. It is extremely clever. I love the fact that you can create your own effects right on the spot. Greg also includes 8 pre set effects to get you started. You will have gold in the palm of your hand!

This is very easy to understand and the instructions are very clear. My head is spinning just thinking about all the applications for this!

Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Go buy this app NOW!

Just my humble opinion...

you must use Itunes store Application to buy and download this app .

OR go to this link :

http://appshopper.com/entertainment/iforce-codename-doodle


iForce (codename: Doodle) $2.99

Watch the iForce demo at:
http://www.RostamiMagic.com/iforce

iForce is a diabolical magic app that is cleverly disguised as a simple "Doodle" program.
Launch "Doodle" and show how you like drawing quick notes with your finger.
It seems simple enough . . . but if they only knew . . . beneath this innocent exterior is the most powerful and stealth magic technology.
Get ready to ASTONISH with your amazing psychic powers.

➤ Read minds . . .
Ask someone to think of a color, favorite food, day of the week, etc . . .
For example she’s thinking of her favorite type of food . . . she’s thinking Sushi (Remember she’s only THINKING Sushi!)
After a deep look into her eyes, you write what she’s thinking on the iPhone display using the "Doodle" app, and leave it face down on the table.
The moment she reveals her favorite food, (by whispering it to you) you smile triumphantly. When the iPhone is flipped over, her jaw drops when she sees that you had written “Sushi” on the display!!

➤ Predict the future . . .
This can be the outcome of a sports game, coin toss, dice, etc . . .
Borrow 3 coins. Announce that you can predict the orientation of ALL 3 coins.
After some intense concentration, write your prediction on the iPhone and leave it face down on the table.
The 3 coins are randomly mixed and placed on the table from left to right. When the iPhone is turned over, the Heads and Tails of each coin is written in perfect order!!

➤ Force your will . . .
Demonstrate your power to subconsciously control anyone.
Draw an arrow on the face of your iPhone and then proceed to quit the app without clearing the drawing.
Place the iPhone face up on the table. Put your hand on her shoulder and ask her to move her finger in a circle around the iPhone.
Announce that you can FORCE her to stop moving exactly where you had drawn the arrow. She stops her movement . . . your smile grows to a huge grin . . . she launches the Doodle App and gasps . . . YOUR drawn arrow is pointing at her finger!!

These are just a small sample of the infinite effects that you can perform with iForce.

Features of iForce:
----------------
•iForce is the ONLY magic product that allows you to create CUSTOM effects instantly
•Easy to do . . . learn with both written and video instructions
•iForce comes with several amazing effects that you’ll perform immediately
•Everything can be fully examined before and after the performance
•The iPhone never leaves the sight of your audience
•No voice recognition (you can perform 100% SILENT)
•No wireless communication used (you don’t need another iPhone/iPod to perform)
•No compass used . . . Works with ALL iPhones/iPod Touches
•Impossible to detect the secret (since you’ll learn the Deepest Darkest Secret in Magic . . . )

First off Greg, WOW! What an application! I have so many ideas running through my head with this, think I will enjoy creating different effects with it!

Just an idea to play with, for those who have this...i set this up for a version of Cereal Killer last night!

So I get into the effect (those who have it will know what I mean). Then I hand draw all the gags etc (No, 4 legged animal, barcode etc) before doing the breakfast cereal to end. It is killer! just an idea for people to play with.

Just awesome! I have already created some of my own presets to customize it (using names of people I know), and have many uses with other tricks for this also. Definitely app of the year, and magic app of the century!

I drew four basic geometric shapes for the first phase then four within a circle for the second.

I ask the spectator to think of a BASIC geometric shape. Then for phase two I repeat it and I ask them to think of another shape lets say they said circle then I then ask them to mentally draw another shape WITHIN it. If they say square then I say o.k now draw another shape AROUND that one. I have circle, triangle, square and rectangle for memorization. Circle = 1 stroke, triangle = 3 square=4, rectangle is largest

Then I turn over the phone and BAM.

Fantastic app..

The layout and user interface is slick and very intuitive. Now must go and familiarize myself with this little gem.

I never liked 'magic apps' before due to the somewhat obvious flaw (iPhone does the magic). Not with this.. it looks like the real deal and perfect when you're caught out, with no pen and paper!

Thanks Greg, I can see the many hours of hard work and brilliant thinking which has been put into bring this to market.

Sounds like this is a good app, but am I the only one who doesn't like the whole "app" magic that is going around.

I don't know why but I don't like magic which is based in a software application. I understand that it is just using modern tech to do magic, but I can't get passed the idea that people will just write it off as cool programming. I am a computer guy, so maybe I am over thinking it?

Have you ever heard of "self-working magic", dinger136? This app does the "magic", but you still have to learn the multiple ways to make the magic happen, and the multiple uses for this program. As they always say, a computer is just a tool, it still needs an operator/magician . . .

Yes I have, these are the worst 3 words in magic. Anyway, sorry for the post, don't want to start that fight on this thread.

I totally agree with you dinger136. When Greg brought this concept up to me, the first thing I said was that I don't want the spectator to think "what a cool app, how did it do it"?

We wanted you to be the magician, not the app. The typical spectator never even thinks that the app had anything to do with it. I think we really pulled this off with iForce.

Greg has performed this for some seriously iPhone savvy spectators. All of which have had theories that they vocalized, but for every theory they have thrown at Greg, Greg can always prove them wrong with another performance. No other app that I know of can handle this kind of scrutiny. The spectator eventually gives up and realizes that Greg really does possess some sort of psychic powers.

Anyway, I understand your reservations and don't blame you a bit for having them. I _had_ them myself.

IForce utilizes (or optionally combines) two of the best iPhone magic app concepts previously used and cleverly wraps it into a totally logical application that is completely customizable.

My favorite routine is using iForce is for the spectator to name any fruit. If you draw out the fruit as your prediction, then you get a bonus if they name "grapes" (red vs. green). If a rare or overly exotic fruit is named then you use the "I knew that" gag and go directly into a different but surefire hit using iForce.

My reply wasn't intended to start a fight, just another friendly point of view. I have already performed this, had a spectator say "I know how you did it", and proved them wrong by predicting their number again, in a different way. It is awesome!

Here are my thoughts:

This is a great app. The only magic application I am going to use for my iPod. Three methods are given so if a spectator almost has the method down, you are able to use a different method to get the first one out of his head.

BUT please change the name to iForce. Don't add "doodle" in the name!!! I have had more than one person look up Doodle on their device, and find the application! Then they know it's a magic app! Ruins the whole trick. If it's possible please change the name!!!!

OMG! I just got this app and it is now my #1 app on my ipod touch (sorry Rising Card)! It's sooooo versatile and easy to use. Now, so many of those prediction effects I do using a pen and pad can be done using this app.

I use it as a tool with my effect and not the effect itself. "... Oh, I forgot my pen and pad. Wait there's an app for that ..."

I'm a long-time software developer myself and I must say Kudos to the developers of this app and those who came up with the idea.

So when will the day come when I can say, "Magic Café, there's an app for that"

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

Dear friends,

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU !!!!

I can't thank you enough for your kind words about iForce.

As Randy said in a previous post, we love hearing about your clever applications of iForce. Randy and I always said that we couldn't wait for your insight.

Based on some of the ideas that I've been reading about on these threads, my presets seem so bla in comparison to your colorful plots.

Greg Rostami

P.S. Since we're talking presets . . . here is one of my favorite routines with iForce.

" I don't know what type of money you have with you . . . these days, money can be bills, coins, credit cards, etc. . . ."

"I want you to imagine any kind of money that you have with you, I'll write it down."

I then proceed to predict they type of money, and then predict that actual currency . . .

Back to back predictions that tell a complete story are one of the most clever effects you can do with iForce.

SEE through their eyes.
