But I’m sure you will find some use considering 95% of your alphabet is covered and there are symbols and signs that aren’t language restrictive. You might run into the problem of there being an abundance of letters in the deck that danish words don’t use often, as this deck is catered for English words. But again, there will be work arounds. Generally speaking, if the alphabet is latin derived there will be little to no restriction. |

These look fantastic!
I used to a routine by Gerard Zitta (if I recall correctly), with some objects... but these will make it even easier to do as I don't often carry nail clippers on me 
Gonna have to pick up some of these in the next couple of weeks. All the best, Dan |

It's exactly like Omnitool from French mentalist Julien Losa.
The exact same principle. https://youtu.be/48ZtSA9ztlk |

I wasn't even going to look at this because I primarily do strolling, but I got bored one night and ordered. I've made it halfway through the tutorial and am impressed thus far. A lot of work went into the design of the cards and some of the routines are very creative. The book test is very nice indeed, although it tap dances the "too perfect" line pretty closely. If you have the luxury of performing with a table, this is a nice interval that is different than anything else people will have likely seen before.

Having never seen Omnitool and after watching the linked video (which shows nothing, thanks *smirkyface*), then seeing the photo provided by the next poster (very helpful!)... From what I can tell, Omnitool is not designed to spell anything out. Maybe it is, but that's not clear from what little info I have. Also, obviously, Omnitool graphics are not color photographs. And, David and I have gone beyond the alphabet by including Numbers, Symbols, Psy-Forces, Animals, etc. So, I would have to guess that Omnitool is a fine product that follows a similar line of thinking that has been standard practice in mentalism for many years... pictures that can be placed in a secret known order (typically alphabetical). While this is one of the possible uses of SNAPS, it is by no means the only one. |

You cannot spell anything as a reveal with Omnitool since there are only one of each letter in total. So to say its "exactly like Omnitool" is very inaccurate. Also, the initial principle of letters hiding within symbols, graphics or drawings dates back to Max Maven from well over 30 years ago. |

Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.

Hello!
I'm Julien, the creator of Omnitool. (Also, I'm basically no one as I rarely publish things in english and rarely hang out with the magic community 🤷🏻♂️😊) First of, thanks for the support for my ideas/products, it's always appreciated. Then, yep, last night a friend sent me a link to the trailer of Snaps, and... I froze. 😅 That being said, I've watched the introduction video and while the concept are similar indeed (letters represented by object - the fact that they are photographs or drawings is actually irrelevant. I still prefer mine because I believe using "flashcards to learn a langage" is more organic. But its my opinion), it seems we use it in completely different ways : I use mine for mindreading/memory stunt/reading/Q&A, when Dan Harlan and David Jonathan seem to focus on card magic and some mental magic. I found it even very funny that I say in my manuscript "please refrain from using those to reveal words with the letters/objects on the cards" when Dan Harlan and David Jonathan took the concept to cardmagic and...using it exactly this way. 😁 So anyway, there's no grudge here 😊 also, I was in discussion with a magic shop to finally release Omnitool in english language (i released it in august 2017 in french, then had it translated and shared it for the past 2 years with a good bunch of magicians/mindreaders out there), so everything's is ok. 2 products with similarities but 2 products completely different. I'll be more than happy to buy a copy of Snaps. 😊 One thing though : David Jonathan said "Also, the initial principle of letters hiding within symbols, graphics or drawings dates back to Max Maven from well over 30 years ago." Actually, no : when looking for credits for Omnitool, because I knew the concept "letters in drawings" was definitely not a new concept, I traced this back to 1460... Jacobus Publicius "Ars memorativa". Best, Julien |

Thanks a lot for the clarification, Julien! Very interesting and informative! I will rethink your approach which I like a lot - and it is indeed far more my style and thinking. Is your English version available somewhere? Jan

I wish you the best with your effect and I am glad you acknowledge these products are completely different (to use your words). I can also assure you that SNAPS has been in development long before August 2017.
To clarify my point on the crediting, that was in reference to using the principle in the context of magic/mentalsim (not as a form of art or science in general) With all that said, hopefully we can now get back on topic please |
