We're working on a 2.0 version with Tobias.


Glad to hear this! I might give it another shot. I have one gathering dust at the bottom of the magic drawer, but this was a classic case of "good idea, poor execution" first time around. If the unit closed reliably, was a little bit smaller, and had a button that was much easier to activate, it would be a killer walkaround trick for those with the chops.

Yes, and even if you get different colors of covers that you could somehow easily load on the gimmick and thus adapt it to several colors of mobile phones (for example I saw that the spectator has red mobile so I load red cover on gimmick), it would be absolutely perfect masterpiece! Smile

Well let's hear what other people want from a 2nd version

Tobias still uses V1 on stage, we just saw him blow the crowd away in Paris last month with it.

But if it's being revived by people asking for it, let's hear it while we still have time to make all the features that buyers are looking for Smile

Id give it another shot with v2.

It's been a while but the button was indeed tricky. So that being optimized would be numero uno.

I think if I remember it was kind of a pain to adjust the l#ne to ones hand size? Though probably not much can be done on that.

Granted I never ended up road testing it as I could never get comfortable with it, but for me, the l#ne also seemed to be pretty visible. Again I don't think much can be done on this either as it has to be able to withstand all the handling.

Agree with it being a tad bit smaller if possible.

Lastly, maybe cosmetically have it closely resemble the light/camera lenses of newer phones?

Yes. Making it a bit smaller would be nice.

If I understand the effect correctly, the effect is that you hand them your phone to video you vanishing their phone. Then they realize that the phone they believed to be yours is actually their phone.

Sounds like if you could pull it off it would be mind blowing. However, I cannot imagine somebody handing me my own phone and not noticing that it is mine.


I think you've got it right. I suppose it helps if it's dark, and the spectator is drunk.

I have performed it and they never even suspect that they are holdin their own phone
