Im sure you could use some sort of Bluetooth technology to call someone in close proximity with your own phone.

I don't think it would sell for only $30 if this were the case

That's why I'm assuming for the price you must NEED an assistant

I received my other items from Hank Lee's last night but there was a little note stating that the DVD/package would ship in 5 days. I assume 5 days from when they sent out my other stuff and not when I received it. As soon as it comes I'll post the review......JPV

I hope this is one of those dvd's I keep and and don't sell on ebay. I want this to be an actual effect that is clever, and usable in all conditions. And I hope it hurries up and gets here!!

I'm also interested in this effect! Just hope it is as good as it sounds?

Just saw a post at Ellusionist that this product has been delayed a little bit. They're expecting to receive it right around June 1.

The day I ordered from Hank Lee, I did notice the same thing on Ellusionist BUT I was ordering other items not available. There whould have been something posted if it was on b/o or delayed on shipping. I know Penguin Magic was posting it would ship in a few days or something like that. Oh well, anticipation has to be my friend for the next few days..... JPV

This looks to be nothing more than basic bluejacking? Check it out and have fun Smile

Blue-jacking is not a 100% way to send a msg to ANY mobile. many people have low-cost mobiles that don't have bluetooth.

Blue jacking would require knowing if the spectator has a bluetooth phone or not. I guess if it doesn't work, you can go to another ending. But I would like if it was a different way than bluejacking

Marco Temptest is claiming this is HIS trick and that Paul Harris/Doug McKenzie doesn't have rights to release it. As far as I know this is the reason for the delay, they are trying to work out some kind of deal. Here is a link with more information on this issue:

Thank you all for your input and opinions.

The author of the DVD (Doug McKenzie) is a former paid consultant to my company. He was instrumental in the creation of this effect. Nevertheless, he was not authorized to release this routine to another performer or to the public.

We are currently mediating with Mr. McKenzie through a third party to hopefully solve this most uncomfortable situation.

In the meantime we at Newmagic Communications, Inc. want you to be aware that at present time the Phoneomenon DVD is not in any way authorized or endorsed by us.

With that thought in mind, this may not ever get released, time will tell.

Is this supposed to work 100% with any phone? If you utilize the previous methods described (service), along with bluejacking, I guess its possible. Regardless of whether the effect is released, there are clearly many ways to accomplish this already.

Um, an incoming bluetooth message does not look like a phone call. Additionally, by default most phones are set up to ask permission before accepting a BT message (which would make it further different from a phone call). I don't know how this trick actually works, but ya'll are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to Bluetooth.

Maybe that's just your phone...I checked the website for bluejacking and this is very possible for many phones.

I think you guys should stop trying to figure it out and discuss or speculate on potential methods.

Best wishes
