Very proud to announce that a projetct we are working on from several months is now available! This is the first CUSTOM MADE revelation for you!
Check the description below!
Create your own reality

Are you ready to impress your audience and get more bookings? If yes, we have the answer for you!

This is a new effect created by Luca Volpe and Renato Cotini.

It's totally different from all products in magic and mentalism because it is customized to your personal business card or logo.

The effect is so simple and so strong: you show your business card to the audience, you pick up your phone (Android or IOS) and open the camera. You aim the camera at your business card. Amazingly, the screen image begins to change into a 3D animation to become a card, a word, a number, or whatever you desire!

#Augmented is a real reputation maker and works with your business card, so the effect is unique to you!

The process is this:

Once you purchase the kit, you will find instructions for how to send a photo of your business card (or your logo or whatever you want to animate). Simply select one of our 5 templates for what you want to "reveal." In a few days, our tech team will render the animation for you! Then download the app and use it - it's that simple!

The possibilities are infinite: you can use a tablet connected to a wide screen on stage, you can perform the impromptu effect on the street using just your phone, or you can use your logo while shopping on the Internet to reveal something on your computer screen!

Many customizations are offered free in the rendering process: you can have the app open your website automatically when the animation is over, or you can take an instant screenshot during the revelation.

#Augmented also provides you 3 bonus effects:
The spectator selects a card. You place a different card on his hand, and watch it change into his selection through the camera phone!
Create a symbol and watch it transform into the spectator's chosen drawing!
A random word is selected and then revealed on a special card that is included in the package.
#Augmented is the new generation of magic and is quite inexpensive. You can have a customized routine that would normally cost hundreds of dollars - now for just $45!

Here is what you will get in the kit:
Special pvc card with all the codes you need to access your account. This enables you to choose one of the five revelations to use with your own graphic! (Each card will have a different code, so you can buy more than one to access all the animations.)
Special business card with a special printed symbol to use for the word revelation
3 bonus effects included
Video tutorials link
App to trigger the Augmented Reality (this works on both IOS and Android)
Tech support to make your trademark unique and shocking
Special discount code for personalized Augmented Reality creations (if in the future, you decide to have a personalized animation, our team will be able to create anything you can imagine)
#Augmented is the only custom-made tool that will help you to reach your audience in a unique and original way, so that they will never forget you!

Discover the secret that will guarantee you repeated bookings!

Remember, this is a custom-made service that will be created for your own graphic design!

Limited to 150 kits worldwide!

Thanks Luca. This is the best way for me to hand out my business card in a magical way. First in line! I bought it right away.

pegasus- I think what he said is once you purchase the kit you will get three augmented reality magic tricks for free as a bonus.

Then you will get a code to activate and download instructions to create a custom augmented reality based on your business card or logo or any trigger picture. You will have a choice of five different revelations to choose from in the kit. Once you choose the one of the five revelations they will create your animation based on your choice of trigger picture (business card or logo) and your choice of one of the five revelations. Then they will send you a code to download an app for your IOS or Android phone.

My question to Luca is:

After we purchase and receive our kits, how much time do we have to decide when we want to use our custom revelation codes. For example, Can I wait six months or a year to use it or does it have an expiration time limit to create my original AR trick?

Hello guys and welcone to #Augmented

I am Renato Cotini, the creator of the effect and first of all let me thank my friend Luca to make this all happens.

I'll try to reply your questions here so let me explain a bit how it works:

-pegasus: there are 5 basic templates to choose with many variations. The basic templates reveals a card, a word, a number, a time and a movie title.
Card revelation and word revelation are fully customizable: you can have the rendered animation created on your business card with EVERY playing card or word you want! The other 3 templates offers limited variations.

-funnyclown: thank you for your beautiful words, I think you'll like the effect very much too! There's no time to decide, when you receive the package you'll be able to use the 3 standard (bonus) effects and we'll create your custom animation whenever you want. The point is: will you be able to wait longer before requesting an unique custom animation on your logo or business card...? Smile

Thank you guys for your question and please feel free to contact us for more info.

Thanks. That was my question, can the spec choose ANY card? If so that's awesome. Considerably cheaper than the other offering out there.

If I buy two can I then have the option of two different F#$**ed cards. Or does it need to be a different trigger picture?

Only one animation can be triggered on a single image. So if you buy two items you can have two different animation but they have to trigger on different images. If you got for example a business card printed on the back and the front you could use each face for a different card revelation.

Great, so you can buy 2 and select 2 different cards for your routine.

Or perhaps you could select 2 different templates just like a number or a word for a following up routine.

Sometimes I use a svenpad to do the word revelation just after the card effect and the reactions are always fun!

I've been doing this for a couple of years after I saw Alan Rorrison do something similar in his Penguin lecture. Always gets great reactions. I've just started doing it recently with a Sven pad as well. A really under utilised piece of technology.

Good luck guys, Wardy

The reaction in the demo video was pretty underwhelming.
Will pass on this.

I thought the same thing.
This is one of those frustrating things because as cool as this sounds in the ad copy I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that the Boris spider effect will get 10 times the reactions. Now I realize that the spider effect is not for everyone but it's the same with other effects too. You can do the most incredible sleight of hand or a $1500.00 electronic marvel and all they end up raving about is the sponge bunnies.

However, I do think the price for AR is surprisingly low. I expected it to be a couple hundred at least.

Guys you need to keep in mind that we filmed this in Italy where not everyone understand english so obviously sometimes the reactions are a little slow due the language barrier. Hope you appreciate the fact that we actually show a full performance of one of the revelation instead of only talking about it....

Boris spider trick may get a shocking reaction but I'd bet this trick will get you work because they will remember your business card. It's magic that happens right on your card. As compared to other business card magic tricks this one definitely uses AR in a clever way to showcase the latest in tech magic. And it's only $43. That's ridiculously cheap for a custom AR animation.
