Seriously! I thought it was cool... almost like a combination of haunted deck and a cellphone with a guy who wears a bag on his head...? haha

Either way Im hoping they'll post more videos with stuff from the book.. it looks like it'll be good.

Pretty clever. And disturbing. I can see this one freaking some people out.

Definitely could be a freaky effect. Its giving the power over to the "strongman" rather than the magician. Creepy stuff. What would you guys think would be a good presentation for this?

Off the top of my head he could push the phone along the table past a number of objects or cards stopping at one which of course is a previously selected or thought of card etc.
I am not so sure that it needs to be combined with another effect though as the parts may be greater than the sum if you know what I mean?

Great idea though like it a lot!

Yeah, personally, I wouldn't try to make this into a card trick. That scary dude with the bag over his head probably couldn't care less what card somebody picked.

Oooh! very cool idea. I think that would be a creative way to reveal a card. It adds a creepy element to the reveal. I'm sure you could film your own odd strongman video and have him point upwards after the move to show that was the card he wanted.

He could even push upwards toward the top of the screen and you could have it set up so the card moves. That would be neat. Almost as if he's pushing his force even away from the phone!

Brilliant, what an amazingly creative idea.

By the way, as a side note, the paper bag thing freaked me out more than it should have... find a copy of the low-budget independent thriller "Home Movie" and you'll see why... the final image in that movie has been burned into my brain forever.

I saw this video and also love it. the trick is an awesome idea. I also like the revelation of a card. really the possibilities are endless. I saw some of you wanted some information on the book. I called up rodney and this trick will be released in his book titled "The Muse". It should be out within a month give or take and that's if everything goes according to plan.

P.S. keep an eye out for the next video bunny boy will be releasing it features another effect that will be in his book!

Cheers,
Tenny

Does this only work with an iphone, or any cellphone?

Thanks,

Yes this effect works with any phone. I think the only requirement is that it needs to play video. Also there is a version where you can do the effect with a spectators phone. Sounds exciting doesn't it?

Rodney's book will be released around November. There are several different contributors such as Paul Harris, Dan and Dave Buck, Paul Vigil, Steve Fearson and so on. The book isn't a typical magic style book. Its really a piece of art. I don't want to give to much away. Make sure to keep checking out his website bunnyboycollective.com the site is undergoing new moderators so expect frequent updates in the coming weeks. Plus several new videos will be released up until the release of the book "The Muse"

This seems very original, but the "weirdness" of demo video is holding me back.

Yeah.. the video is a little strange... But it is what appeals to me the most in the whole effect. Technically if you wanted you could have any video with something pushing on the screen... personally I do like the whole strange/creepy aspect : )
