OMG. xD

I just used the number from 1 to 4, and then followed up with 1 to 10 with the springboard method on my dad. He's seen me do a lot of card tricks, but this time he just looked kind of blankly and said that I was sure taking my mind reading to the next level. Smile

Here's my idea:

It's vaguely based on my trick Scribbles of Destiny, which also uses a Doodle Application on an iPhone/iPod Touch. Scribbles of Destiny was published in the January 2010 issue of Genii Magazine.

Make all of the presets the same "prediction." However, in this presentation, they presets won't act as a prediction, but rather the outcome to a magical effect.

Open Doodle and get to your preset. I like to do this by pretending to write something secret on the device, but then quickly realizing that this can be done out in the open. Let's say my preset is a playing card, such as the Queen of Diamonds. I would force the card (or whatever the preset might be) on the spectator. Openly make random scribbles and marks on the device, in a manner similar to Richard Sanders' Identity.

Then, you are going to raise the device, and let it fall. On the third time, you openly bring the device parallel to the ground, which will secretly access the presets. Then, just like before, let the device fall. It will look as if the random marks and scribbles morphed into the selected card.

I refer to letting the device fall. Here, I am using a leather flip case and holding it on the top. This way, and can drop the half with the device in it, and keep a grasp on the top flap.

I know this sounds very confusing; however, I include a performance of this on my iForce contest submission. It's the first thing I perform in the video.

Yes, this can only be done with an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Sure no problem!

I've been pondering this one, and it just hit me, you can use it for a 100% hit rate 37 force; WITHOUT needing to say different digits.

Another idea for numbers is this: I'm going to write a number between 1 and 10 on this, and I want you to guess it when I am done. That way you don't have to ask a number you should already "know"

Magic Freak 2 --

For the 37 force without requiring different digits -- how would that work? There are TEN possibilities for two-digit odd numbers from 1 to 50, and ten is too many.

If you specify different digits, though, it reduces the possibilities to eight, which works fine.

Can you clarify your thinking on this? Thanks.

Cheers,
Jerry

Remember that there are different ways to perform iForce. One allows up to 8 choices, one up to 10. The instructions explain how to do it, but you can send a PM if you like.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought all three methods only allow for eight possibilities. I skimmed over the instructions and found nothing about 10.

The next natural progression in this would be to use the arrow drawing where you can "control" the mind of your most favourite girl. I suppose you could tell them that it works because you're just so darned sensitive. Good luck with it!

That sounds interesting! This is clearly the best app going.

Just got the app today - maybe a little behind the rest?!... Still, a great app Greg! Have already started practicing it today, and thinking up lots of cheeky ideas.
Any idea when we'll have a working version with more than 8 possibilities? (yes, I'm admittedly an impatient person)..

Cheers,
James

12 (or even 16) options would open up a whole new world of possibilities!

You can double it, just have them make two choice. E.g. Odd or even.. and you predict it right both times.

16 would be nice though, with the fake springboard only!

Add my name to the list of the great impressed! What a steal! I'm using mine in conjunction with an eight out Koran style deck. The beauty there is that there only needs to be three of each force card interspersed with 'x' cards and four 'starters.' All the time I've performed it - I've spread the deck FACE UP and merely asked the spec to 'separate' the deck at any point. You know the rest. Thank you Greg!

I haven't been on the Café for quite awhile; but had to put my two cents in...
This app is great! I carry my I-Pod Touch with me every day so this works perfect for me.
The app itself was very well thought out and with a little performance added to it; the perfect trick for the digital age!!

PS: I just downloaded rising card; I really like it too(because I'm a card lover) but IForce is way more versatile!
Never forget to dream!

I know it has been said, but I will say it again. iForce is amazing. There are so many great ways to perform effects with this app. What I love about it is that the phone is not doing the magic, it's just a means of writing a prediction. The magician/mentalist is the one doing the mind reading. I also love how you can customize different presets. Greg this is a fantastic app. Well done, Sir.

Sean M.

P.S. I also can't wait for more than 8 outs. It will expand the possibilities.
