Sorry for bump here but...
Just entered into the world of smartphoneology with my brand new Iphone and thus late to this party....but I gotta say Myke Phillips IUNLOCKYOURMIND was and is one of the main reasons I bought the Iphone. It is a beautiful, functional, mysterious, magical and entertaining piece. It's hard to believe that it's "just an app". |

I have to give a shout out to Myke, he offers the best customer service. There was a miscommunication on what I purchased from Myke and he quickly resolved it taking time out of his weekend to get fixed. So as for saying Myke doesn't care about his potential customers is crazy talk. I think he is protecting his product by not going into detail with the regular version vs pro version on an open forum.

This app is sick! I bought it a few months ago and have used it almost every night (I perform 5 nights a week, 4+ hours a night). If you have a regular performance space, like a restaurant or a bar (my case, nightclub), that has repeat weekly/monthly customers... and you understand the concept of time misdirection, this app takes you from being a very good magician into some kind of deity.
Just one example of the tricks that I started doing with it was coupling it with a phone st*al (outside jacket pocket st*al/inside jacket pocket st*al) that I do *the next time I meet them after having obtained said info via IunlockYourMind* (the next night they come back). After st*aling their phone, I casually take it out and ask if they would like to see me do a phone trick (if they have an iphone without a case, which is common, its almost impossible for them to tell that its their phone at this point). I ask them to hold onto "my phone" and just think of their phone pin... I then reveal it (slowly, one number at a time) and tell them that's strange because we have the same phone pin, I ask them to check it, to try and get into "my phone" using their pin... the rest just sort of happens when they open the phone and it slowly dawns on them... This is just tip of the ice-burg stuff though, I mean if you can st*al their phone AND get into it AND secretly put it back... you have direct access to their facebook, twitter, private messages, ebay, dating apps... of course you can only do so much within the confines of a performance time frame (if they realise its gone... its game over) but still, that's a mentalists dream. In Absolute Magic, Derren Brown talks about a credit card st*al/covert return as a way of obtaining information, this is exactly the same, just compounded ten fold. The ethics can become a bit murky but writing the name of their chosen card as their facebook/twitter status, whilst being a bit invasive, I can't foresee being too problematic. So long as you are careful and have a good moral compass (would you mind someone doing it to you?) this can really take you from good to unimaginable. Sam |

As I said I perform five nights a weeks to an average crowd of around 600 people (close up in a night club), so in the 3 months that I have been doing this I have performed for up to 35,000 people (say 25,000 of those are repeat customers). I am yet to have had any complaints regarding this effect. It may sound a lot more intrusive written down than it feels in real life. But then, to be fair, so do most pickpocketry effects.
Of course this can be used in the wrong way and make your spectators feel wronged and violated. However that is more to do with how you choose to overtly present the information that you have gathered than the method that you use to covertly gather it. Like I also said, you need to have a good moral compass and if you don't then this particular set of tools can become your downfall, but if you do know and stay within the confines of morality... this can be one of your greatest assets. |

But what you may be failing to see is that your posting indicates a casual attitude towards spectator's personal information and privacy. I would not one someone like you ever taking my phone, not looking through my list of personal contacts - ever. Who are you? That isn't entertainment - it is pure intrusion. There is a fine line between being an Apollo Robbin's and using the art of misdirection in an extremely entertaining and harmless way - and doing what you seem to be boasting about with fervor - which sounds like it borders on unseemly and creepy. Sober up - if I ever encountered someone cleverly taking my phone and then going further and looking into the data on that phone - I would be extremely ****ed. That takes what you are apparently doing from entertainment to entering people's private personal lives - not cool. Not something I would recommend to emulate - regardless of your busy gigs. As Magician's and performers we must all also use a moral compass - just because something is possible (and you haven't gotten caught) does not necessarily mean that it is advisable to do it. As a Mentalist is it cool for me to Google/Facebook search publicly found data prior to a gig? I would say probably yes, and many do. But to snag someone's personal phone Apollo Robbins style and then take it 100 steps farther and start hacking the data on the phone to make yourself look smart all for a little entertainment? No - No - No. It is wrong and you need a cold performers shower. The saying is to do the right thing when no one is looking. I've said what I think, and it is no knock on the software app (which sounds superb).

As for the numbers point, I was showing that yes, you are being overly sensitive. Of course you have to limit what it is that you pry into (though this app does offer access to all of those I mentioned) and I believe that I wrote most of those provisions in the above. Please also note, I am not the first to talk about st*aling and returning for the sake of garnishing information (again as mentioned above). Nor is this as "intrusive" as certain other effects which magicians perform (Derren Brown has had a spectator eat glass, believe they were dead, believe the world had ended, Luke Jermay takes away a spectators pulse, Both Jermay and Brown and James Brown induce amnesia in their spectators, Derren Brown stuck a needle through a spectators hand and induced toothache, Anthony Jacquin made a spectator completely forget their actions then the spectator was put into a televised game show where they had to guess what they did next... Derren Brown tied a spectator up in a bag and threw them in a river... need I continue) which when written down sound atrocious yet when performed appear completely appropriate. I think that you are reading into this as some kind of NSA/GCHQ snooping and fishing, which it is not. It is a magic trick. Like I said, I am yet to have had a complaint from an actual spectator. |

About ten years ago, a popular item on the market was Doug McKenzie's Phoneomenon. In effect, a spectator would select a playing card and in the middle of the performance their phone would ring. When they checked the interruption, the spectator would find that they were being called by an unknown number with a contact name revealing their selection. Blaine actually used this effect on one of his specials and it played extremely well for television.
I would argue that the methodology for that particular effect is just as-- if not more-- intrusive than some of the ideas Milton is expressing for IUnlockYourMind. In the grand scheme of things, it's relatively harmless use of the resources available to the performer. The morals of actually going through with some of the more invasive effects is wholly reliant on the performer. I suppose the question worth asking is, "Is this really worth it for entertainment's sake?" I honestly believe the answer to that question will differ from person to person as will some of the outcomes in actual practice. Apps and morals aside, if I man-handled a spectator the way David Williamson often does onstage, I'd likely be mugged after the show and/or put on some sort of community watch list, because I don't have the comedic charm or finesse that Williamson does. I believe there's a parallel between that and using this app for your own creative purposes. Simply, different people will be able to get away with different ideas. RS.

I also regularly work a night club in the UK, 4 clubs actually and if you were caught stealing a phone in any of those your next gig would be played to the hospital staff. Not to mention you would never work for that night club chain ever again. When working any venue you are representing that venue and I have never worked a venue that would condone such actions let alone be guilty of such actions by association.
Were you to be caught, the club in question could be absolutely hammered because your actions, while acting as an agent for them, would be in direct breach of the data protection act which could render them liable for fines of up to £500,000. Performing casually as an amateur getting caught could land you with a criminal record, theft even for entertainment is still theft. There is a huge difference between a pick pocket on stage and secretly stealing a mobile phone in a night club. Just as Derren Brown paying an actor to play the part of someone who believes the world is zombie infested is very different to reading somebodies private email. So yes, I'm with Brett on this one.

Just read a lovely message that made me feel so proud that I wanted to share with the world. This is why it's worth what we do.
Bro, I just had one of the most powerful moments in my magic career happen today. And it's all because of you. (16 years in it) I just performed iUnlockYourMind to someone over the phone, Yes the phone and it was for someone who I was told, was a non believer. I floored her with her birthday and then walked away in front of 17 people. All while we were on speaker phone. I cannot thank you enough bro. I am overwhelmed with excitement even now, and it's been 20 minutes since. Thank you, thank you. Sorry for the long post but I felt that I HAD to share this moment with you. Lonnie lyerla |
