Hi Everyone,
I know Lee Smith posted about this elsewhere in the Café, but I thought I should create a thread here. My new iPhone app, AR Mind Reader, has just been released in the App Store! After months of work and weeks of tweaking with a team of magician beta testers, here's the result ... Website link: http://www.armindreader.com/ Direct App Store link: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ar-mind-......t=10lbQe Before anyone asks, no it's not available for Android. It's iPhone only, and recommended for iPhone 5 and above. Enjoy! Damian

Is the card being turned in the video turning in real time or is that a loaded clip? Also, your website shows additional "professional targets" at a substantial cost.
Are these needed for the effect? If not, what do they do? |

Hi Jaizon,
The 'Augmented reality' effect (the brain, rolled up paper and end revelation) is layered on top of the physical world in real time. The end revelation can be anything. For the Augmented effect to work, it needs to track a 'target' image. There are 4 of these available for free download from the website. If you want something that looks a bit more professional than a printed piece of paper, the 'professional targets' are available. These are the same 4 target images printed onto durable cards. There's also an option to print the target images on the back of your own business card design. Neither of these options are necessary for the effect. It will work just as well with the free target images that you can print out yourself. Thanks for the questions and for your interest in the app! I hope my answers have helped. If anything is still unclear, please let me know. Thanks, Damian

Very cool app with lots of possibilities.
I think its quite brilliant the number of options one has in terms of presentation. Much more than just the reveal of a force. Very clever. ONE question - at this price point I was hoping for a few more animations? Is there any consideration to add those? I assumed with 4 different targets, there would be some variety...I like the brain animation but I think something more "mystical" could be equally as entertaining, as well as give a different "feel" to the experience. Any thought to add futher animations in the future? |

Hi DynaMix,
Thanks for the great comments! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the app. Before I became a full time magician, I was a 3D character animator, so the animation side of the app is very important to me. I'd love to put lots of animations in there. The 'brain' animation that we built into the app took a ridiculous amount of time to get right. This was due to the constrictions of the AR rendering and 'working blind' as to what would and would not work. My intention is to do more animation options if the sales of the app go well. They are not planned just yet though. I guess the short answer to your question is yes the rate of updates and additions will be directly proportional to the success of the app. The price of the app will reflect this too. If features get added, the price will go up. You don't have to worry about that though as you've bought it already Thanks again DynaMix, Damian PS If you could post your thoughts as a review in the App Store I would really appreciate it!

I have an idea to make this better. If after the AR reveal you switched it for a card that says the same thing as the iphone as they are looking through the phone, it would be slightly more magical.
Reality is a real killjoy.

Sounds nice ZachDavenport,
I can see that working very nicely with a bit of routining. I'd love to see a video of you performing it! Damian

Another idea is to use Card Now to 'print out' the AR Target image before you use it

Thanks, but I don't have the app, and it seems a little pricy for me. It was just an Idea I had.

Thanks for the idea.
I've going to be putting a promotional video together for the app soon to show what it can do. You don't get a very good sense of it's capabilities from the teaser video. That was effectively just a 'tech' demonstration. The reviews in the app store have been fantastic. I'll post some here soon. Regards, Damian

So does it have multiple outcomes sort of like iforce? (not the same method, but same multiple outs idea)

Hi ZachDavenport,
Sorry for the slow reply. I've been performing away for a few days. No, the app does not use multiple outs It incorporates several different methods into the one app, but multiple outs is not one of them. This means that there's no memory work to do. No 'code' or multiple outs input variations to remember. Hope that helps, Damian

I'm not sure what it is then. I'd like to see that promotional video to get a better idea of what it is.

Me too!
I've been very busy performing at events where I haven't had the luxury of someone with me to record video footage, but getting this video done is my next project. Watch this space ... To fill you in a little more here are the main modes of use ... * Force * 'Discover: Alone' (includes two ways to secretly enter information after discovering it from an impression pad or peak wallet) * 'Discover: Buddy' (use an accomplice for an ultra clean, hands off effect) Hope that helps, Damian

Full performance video!
Here's a full performance of one of the modes in AR Mind Reader ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyJRvABBFTQ -- Also, the Video explanations are now ready! I've just uploaded 7 brand new tutorial videos and 1 performance video to the 'Video explanations' page on the website. It adds up to about 40 minutes of instructions, broken up into sections, so that you can just watch the bit you're interested in. Here's the direct link to the web page ... http://www.armindreader.com/video-explainations/ This link is only accessible to people who have bought the app. Thanks, Damian

Hi Fire Starter,
Thanks for showing interest in AR Mind Reader. There are 3 main modes of use for the app. All have the same revelation style ending, but the procedure's to get there are different. The most basic version couldn't be simpler. You just set it and forget it. Nothing complicated at all and the outcome is very strong! The other two modes are more involved, but once you've run through them a couple of times they are very straight forward. I've gone into lots of depth in the written and video instructions, so these modes may seem daunting initially. It's all very straight forward once you've been through it a few times though. The last thing I can tell you is that there's NO memory work! There are no secret codes to remember and no multiple outs to confuse you. I hope that helps. That's as much as I can say without exposing the methods. I hope it suits you. And if you do buy it, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks, Damian
