I have a Pebble. I also have the app that Steve refers too...... Yes you can see what the iPhone camera is seeing, and also use the watch to trigger the camera, however the resolution on the watch screen is not high enough and the frame rate is too slow to make things out clearly. I doubt very much it would be any good to show what is on the iPhone screen.

If anyone is using this app, please PM me. Would love to talk routines and ideas, so far the limitations of this app make performing with it live rather difficult. I'm sure most agree that you want the spectator to have no idea there is a second device in play, and none of the instructions or videos give any idea of how that's possible.

Anybody ever make use of this in any real world setting?
Steve - any possibility we could even just output the titles of selected photos to a pebble? |

I would never buy an app that this guy puts out. At least not after the book test app fiasco.

Yeah it was a major major mistake. No support and a complete lack of care to answer basic questions or think through any practical applications of his own app.
Just terrible. |

I guess you are just angry because you didn't get in on the sale price of the app. Did you know that I sold 11 of the UBT's at $1100.00 US previously ... so the amount YOU paid was a real deal that you got. UBT was such a success that a major company purchased ALL the rights to UBT. One of the people that purchased the $1100.00 version was an expert of book tests and had over 1000 different book tests. He told me on the phone about a year before he died that UBT was the only book test that met 4/5 criteria for a perfect book test -- 5/5 would mean that you are a true psychic. He used UBT at a lecture he would teach agents in Washington the art of deception. Here is the UBT tread in case anybody is interested: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......&start=0 I noticed you posted in the thread quite a few times Sean (as seen below): "Steve, Is black background and white text possible as an option. It gives off very little light that way but is still clearly readable. It's how I read in bed without annoying my girlfriend Smile. Also is this going to be available in the UK app store? all the best, Sean" "Thanks Steve. I'm looking forward to this one Smile" "Well done Steve. When does the sale end? best Sean" "Received my books today from Amazon with everything matching up. The most I paid per book was £2.79 inc post and there are still loads of copies of the correct ISBNs available. On the subject of future books, it might be nice to have a small pocket version of a book included on the list. Something that can easily slip into the back pocket. Cheers Steve Smile" "A book of poems would have some nice imagery. The problem is finding something in the public domain with lots of copies available. Maybe Shakespeare's Sonnets Smile" "There is a difficulty in using the 'Look Inside' feature on Amazon to match the text, Steve. It doesn't show the version of the book you will be receiving. I've put the links below for the 3 books I have received that are correct. It's the UK store so I don't know if it's any use or not... Animal Farm (Signet Classics) [Mass Market Paperback] http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0451526341/ The War of the Worlds [Mass Market Paperback] http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0812505158/ Dracula (Signet Classics) [Mass Market Paperback] http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0451530667/ best Sean" "I think that's a great idea Steve. I've seen a lot of apps that do this and I'm sure that's the way to go. best Sean" "Is this on sale or something? I paid £59.99 3-4 weeks ago and now it's only £20.99! I thought it was going up in price, not down! Apparently it's only $30 in the US app store now. I have to say this is very disappointing." "Good for you. Most of us paid 4 times that amount and even that was supposed to be a discount for early purchasers. Think yourself lucky. Best, Sean" Have a great day! |

Did you ever finish the instruction vids Steve?
Have you come up with a way for both apps to run in the background without quitting. For the 2 toolboxes to stay connected, as I PMed earlier about? Do you actually use this on anyone? |

I think what is up there on the site gives the basic idea of how to use the app. This is a utility program/toolbox. I use my online version now for drawing duplications using the spectator's own screen (I do not sell this -- but have given access to a few friends that use it all the time). Background processing of the Mentalist Toolbox is not possible based on the way the iphone/ipod/ipad system works with wifi and bluetooth. I use the Mentalist Toolbox with the keyfob mainly .. as a sophisticated thumper. I will not put any processing for any of the watches in the app .. screen is too small. I might do this when the Apple watch comes out. I use my youtube prediction program with the spectators screen to force videos on a spectator's screen ... again, using the red remote to punch in the video to be forced. |

Originally you came on the Café and told us about this wonderful app that was going to be sold for $350 but if we supported you by pre-ordering, we would get a huge discount and you would sell it to us for $80. I was one of those you fooled because 3 weeks later it was NEVER sold at $350 but was reduced to $20! Now you can charge what you want for your own product but don't dupe us into thinking we are saving money when it's those that DIDN'T pre-order that saved the money. Bad business practice, however you dress it up. Then on top of that you sold the app to Theory 11 so no one gets to use it anymore. Only in the magic community can you get away with such bad business practice. If I ran my business that way I wouldn't have any customers left. have a nice day |

Hi Sean,
If I put the app up to $350 Apple would have taken the app down. Based on my experience everything over $99 sets a red flag for them. Apple called me DIRECTLY on the phone regarding one of my apps submitted and recommended that in order to get the app on the store I had to reduce my price of $1700.00 to under $100.00. I reduced my software price for the rvPhotoCube from $99 to $0.99 ... however the hardware now costs a lot more. Today UBT is PRICELESS .. you can't buy it from me. Sorry you feel hurt and fooled .. that wasn't my intent. Have a great day! |

Seriously?? No more update? I have bought the app recently, no problem with the function but it doesn't fill the full screen on my iPad ?! Basically an iPhone app on iPad. And using pebble as the receiver would be good.
