Hi there!
My name is Martin Andersen, I'm the creator of Clonk3, some of you may know me.

I would like to make public that we started a new project called Magic Open Source. There we will be showing great magic that you can build yourself.
The first episode we explain how to build a license plate prediction using the templates provided on the website.
Pack small play big! And its an original idea as far as I could research.

This is the intro, hope you like it.


We are giving away 5 sets of this magic trick on a contest, you have until June 30th 2018 to participate.
Product will also be available to purchase for several license plates around the world.

Videos are recorded in Spanish and English, so there will be no language problems.
To protect the magic secrets you have to be registered on the website and answer an easy magic question.
Once registered you can watch everything, COMPLETELY FREE!

Hope you like the trick, but also the Open Source concept behind it.

Regards!
Martin Andersen

Use the flags on the top of the page to switch between Spanish and English.

Good use of the BGT principle.

Working on some USA versions:

That was made with California template, already available to download for free.
More to come.

Hello.
Do you have it un french ?

Is there a reason the England number plate isn't available

French and GB are both available.
But GB didn't arrive to the distributor yet, its stuck on customs. It should be available in a few days.
You can buy it on our website with free shipping, we do have them all in stock:

For those wanting to alter the templates, here is a free open source alternative to CorelDRAW, https://inkscape.org/ There is even a portable version so you don't even have to install it.

Gracias Martin

Thanks Martin, appreciate the info

Here you have the promo video

My intention was to make it fully open source (using Inkscape), but due to some limitations of the software I had to make designs in Corel. If you open with Inkscape the design may not be correct...

WOW ! Nice Job on the plates seems like a very unique effect a different type of prediction for sure !

Is the California version available anywhere in the US?

Penguin indicates it will have it on or about December 18th.

FWIW, I had downloaded the open source version a few months back when this was first announced, and it's clever (also, as someone who works in the tech world, really appreciate the attempt to apply open source thinking to magic -- very cool).

I don't think Penguin will have it available by December. Production time is about 4-5 weeks, and there is not even an order for new production yet.
Some magic shops should have the produced units. You should buy to them. I don't know which ones do have them though.
We still have every model in stock and with free shipping worldwide, but they are running out fast.

Regarding the open source, yesterday we uploaded new models
Not every magician thinks open source is good for magic, but all major changes are difficult to understand at the beginning

Martin, would any of these open source, programs work?

Apache OpenOffice Draw: https://www.openoffice.org/product/draw.html

Autodesk SketchBook Pro: https://sketchbook.com/

Gimp: https://www.gimp.org

Just trying to offer options, in an attempt to push forward, your vision.

Thanks for your help
InkScape is the most similar software available and open source.
As I had CorelDraw available, and knew how to use it, that what I use for the design.
Also tried InkScape, but was my first try, so maybe I was doing something wrong. You should give it a try, maybe you can open it without problems.
Just thinking out loud... don't know if its a good idea, but if I find someone that has experience with this software maybe I can send one License Plate Prediction at no cost, in exchange of porting the templates from Corel to InkScape...
I also think its important to make it open source on the software side, that's why I would be willing to do this exchange

I'll take you up on that Martin. Lets talk in pm about it.
