This is FANTASTIC! I've had this for about a week now and am using it in conjunction with a marked deck routine. It kills. Plus, I can promote my Facebook Business page too which as a pro this is gold. But, schhhhhhh, keep it secret, it's tooooo good!

I have also bought Marty and I can confirm that it is worth the price.

Marty successfully brings you to the next step of the digital magic:
- One of the best effect of the App Store, or maybe the best one at the moment from my point of view,
- Very new so nobody knows it yet,
- Very new so a very good support from the French team (in English as well obviously),
- Very new so fully merged with iOS 10.

Good luck to them, and let's hope they keep on with the good work for a long time.

The problem with this routine as described in the app is that it can essentially be duplicated by analog methods. No digital special technology necessary.

Are you sure Illucifer, you can take a picture before, send it to facebook and ask for a card?

People just see you taking a picture that's all. You don't share it, and YOU ASK FOR THE CARD AFTER you put the phone on the table.

If you have a method, I'm yours. Smile

Dedikc, that's not what I said. I said as described in the app. The routine described in the app has the participant physically select a card from the deck, which is perfectly in keeping with the story the creators have established in said routine. I could create the same effect, Facebook photo and all, with a card force and/or a one-way deck. No algorithms required.

You are correct that having the card simply named would be cause for the app, but it also, in my opinion poses a couple of presentational problems. A) It rather points directly to the actual method, although, if they've not seen the face of the card they were holding, I don't think this is too much of a concern. The second problem is, why post it to Facebook and have them view it there as proof? If you're really doing as you claim, then why not simply let them turn the card around and look at it as proof? Again, this points them toward the actual method.
It's all in the reflexes.

Here's how I use the app.

Spec examines and shuffles cards. I remove one card and ask them to hold it (unseen). Photo taken.

Card replaced in deck. Spec shuffles cards again and freely removes one which is placed face down on table.

Spec looks at my Facebook page and sees the card they were holding

Spec turns over card on table which matches.

Plays really well.

Simplymagicweb, this is better, I agree. But, again, a card force and a one-way deck (or even simply two consecutive card forces framed properly to leave the strongest impression) can accomplish the effect you describe, with or without the posted photo. It's like a Rube Goldberg machine, using a very complex, unnecessary method to achieve it's end. This app, so far, is a case in which the method is more interesting than the effect it creates.

But again, I can do the photo without the need for an app.

So if I get it right, the advantages of this app is that they can name any card & that it posts the pic automatically onto Facebook?
If so... then I just stick with the apps I used for years now, because for me it's not a big difference if I have to force the card you're making the picture with or the card the spectator selects. If you do a good force, the spectator also thinks that the selected card was freely chosen Smile So there are many other apps out there for 1/10 of the price x) There you just give them a Joker and say that the joker can transform into any card, make a pic from them while holding the joker. Then they "freely" choose a card and once they see the picture they are holding that card. For the spectator - not a big difference.

EVERY app. that uses your OWN phone is just a gag. (at the bar: yes. in a performance: no way)

With "use of your own phone" I mean that the spectator is aware that your own phone is in play (visible)...
