Our very anticipated “mind reading card trick” APP is now live at the iTunes store. Do you think magicians would use this as well? We really made this for all demographics, especially NON magicians.... currently only for the iPhone. Would you like it for Android, etc?
The app is available if interested: http://bit.ly/phonemagic Here’s the performance video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBW9ar9kgPs Here’s a promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhuGjB_25gk The long story is that we will be adding many more features, customization to allow for ENDLESS tricks, mind reading and pranks… All those that purchase this version 1, GETS ALL THE UPGRADES FOR FREE! The APP WILL BE much more expensive once we develop the fully customizable aspects. As magicians, do you feel this is a fair price... it's $4.99... and we are speculating the final price to be around $7.99-$8.99. We will go "there" once sales help pay for phase two. It's been a long, overdue process and we are well over budget already with phase one. That's the scoop. Thanks for any advice and feedback.

Thanks Rich - the first link doesn't work though.
Also beside the groovy Siri vocals, what is that new here please? I am not being disrespectful, but other apps like Mental Killer etc use a similar premise don't they?

Uhg, that link! http://bit.ly/phonemagic
No worries... What is unique is it lets you use your phone as the reveal... not make a card appear on the screen (obviously an app)... you simply SEE AND HEAR SIRI do the reveal. And the LEGAL side to getting Apple to let us USE SIRI was very long and tricky. You can not use the likeness of the virtual assistant on phones really... this is unique. Yes, it's "just" a modern reveal of a card trick... soon to be the reveal of ANY prediction or conversation.. and fully customizable. You ask SIRI something, she GIVES ANY answer you want... this will be phase two. Looks like mental killer is $99. Not much more to it;) The videos show it all. It is simple and clean.

What I personally love about this idea is the simple fact that it is NOT a person on the other end of the line that apparently calls or texts...it's SIRI revealing the answer and appears to be the native phone, so theres no question about it in the spectators mind that it's "legit." This might be a great thing or bad thing to some that want all the "credit." I prefer to just stump people in any way possible. My point is that in some apps, the spectator can be left with the thought of, "Well, that is cool... I do not know exactly how he did it, but obviously he must have told someone something or someone helped, etc..."(even though there guess is wrong) In this app, when SIRI/your phone responds, it seems much more legit. The other thing of GREAT NOTE is this app is using the phone's actual voice engine. These are not SIRI-like recordings. In the video preview, the syncing was off and a little unrealistic sounding for my liking. In reality, it's exactly the phone's voice. The backend is prepared to expand for the full customizable features in the next full update once money is raised. I bring this up because the REAL beauty of this for WORKING magicians will eventually be the customizability of any message, response, prediction, etc. It's going to be truly unlimited. I might have explained in another post that we are well over budget and over time and had to release this in two phases to raise the appropriate funds to do it right. Don't get me wrong, I think the card trick as it is now is super fun and very clean and easy... I'm just VERY eager to get this to the full app. Magicians will really enjoy the final product I think for the full freedom to create your own magic, pranks, messages, search results, etc. The legality issues we ran around with Apple regarding the likeness of the brand/apple specific features was tricky. Hopefully, people can start to see why this was a large commitment just to get to phase one for such a simple idea that started with a mockup concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4CqUJZAo68 Thanks for the feedback so far. If anyone has suggestions on how to promote this to help us get the app to that custom phase, I'd certainly appreciate it. I'm trying to be as transparent about this unique process/path we've taken and made the basic app price very affordable. Lastly, I do want owners to know that you get the updates for free by getting in now. It helps us get the ball rolling on funds and you benefit by supporting the project and getting the more expensive version of the app for free (no upgrade costs). We believe the final app will be around $8.99. Wish us luck.

Okay here’s a thought for anyone in the present reading this thread.
All the instruction videos are gone. You have no way to learn how to use the app. This is $4.99 collected from you that goes right into a black hole. |

It makes no sense as "magic" really.
The performer is showing something technology can do. That's even what is said in the video. I prefer to try and show people magic, not technology. |

I mean, everything we do can elicit the same response as those who suggest "people know the phone is doing the trick". I've never seen big silver rings like that, they must be special and do all the magic. The only way that could work is with a special watch. She must have had all the possible choices somewhere and just pulled out the right one. Those must be special cards. With how ubiquitous phones are in our lives today, I don't understand why anyone would not consider using them in their magic. Just like tricks, some applications are garbage, but that doesn't mean that every bit using a phone is not magic. |
