If you perform to your mum and her sister, I would doubt this would appeal. But surely a pro performing to a large audience would storm with this.
Any pros fancy this? I will get me coat. BD |

Hmm, interesting. This could be a nice party trick. Or maybe a pair it with a phone unlock? Not my style, but I can definitely see potential.

I just do not 'get' this effect.
I predicted your card and can prove it by magically creating 100 fake wifi networks named to match your card. I predicted your word. Wanna know how? Well I hacked the 100 closest wifi networks and changed their name to match your word. Ive never once seenore than a dozen or so wifi networks available on my phone. And most people do not have wifi hotspots turned on. Maybe I'm being stupid, but can someone explain to me how this is meant to play out? |

Last October, I performed at TEDx for an audience of 1,700 people. here's a picture link for reference. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=584......93676682
Maybe for close up performers, this won't make much sense... but for me, on stage, blindfolded, I ask questions to have a card generated from random audience members.... or I bring a spec on stage and have them choose the card in insert-your-favorite-method-here... my entire presentation revolves around frequency and the connections between people, and I'm asking them to send me the signal of whatever card this spectator has visibly Indicated on this board/table/or from this deck... and just to ensure that no one is sending me the signal by electronics, I need everyone to turn off their wifi.... and the entire audience loses their ****... pardon my French..... as I now have sent THEM the darn answer.... its masterful.. in the right hands...

Turn on the wifi... that was a typo lol although if they went to turn OFF the wifi, the reveal would still be just as stunning...

Honestly, it's the perceived invasiveness of it that makes it so powerful... the default response is how the hell is this on MY phone... emphasis on MY... and if the entire audience has been properly directed... then what they are looking at, on THEIR phone is EXACTLY what they are thinking in their heads to themselves... it's *** near reverse mass hypnosis if presented right. I really wish this was a more limited release.

I think it’s meant to be and play more of a shock factor of people thinking how on earth could that be on my phone. It literally could be the premise that you hacked the wifi routers (as they would see it) so I guess it’s just an unusual alternative to a reveal. But yes agree with the 100 showing which would be more convincing if only a few showed up as it would do normally.

Most of this thread sounds like "Tell me you only perform for 5 people at a time without telling me." If that's your story, great.. but school auditoriums, college lecture halls, theaters, conferences... There's so many places this would be the ONLY answer, my head is spinning.

I think there is an Interesting reveal there if a lot of thought is put into it.
A few concerns some might have if it’s true with this device. I’ve used legacy from Miranda for sometime. I like it a lot but the only small downside was once connected to the legacy’s modem your phone was essentially off line. You have no ability to use data on your phone. So, any apps using data would be blocked. Rendering “digitizers” electronic pads sending information to your app on your phone of what they wrote useless while connected. Question would be for anyone who might know. Would I have access to my cellular data or Bluetooth devices if connected to this hacker Device. If not would simply reaching into my pocket and pressing the button connect me. Thanks!

Are there more wifis in a college lector hall than in an apartment building where I perform the effect in front of 10 people? By the way: cool photo from TEDx. Are there any recordings of your performance? |

I didn't use Hacker in my routine.. I was giving an idea of how this could be utilized in such a setting... and to answer the other question, yes, yes it does matter. Go onto any major university campus and you will be inundated with more wifi networks AND personal hotspots than you can count. This makes sense for the large crowd crowd.. as I said before, close up workers who've never heard 500 people collectively gasp won't see the use...

Yes, Alex.. there is. I was the first performer in TEDx history to pull a hat trick, as it was called, performing live in three different art-forms, in all three TEDx sessions, in one day... The plot of my third act wasn't novel, (object to impossible location), but it's the silence between the notes, as someone better than me said.. I'll send you a link

Check. Lots of slo-mo, flashy graphics, and other camera trickery (ie onanistic abuse of After Effects)? Check. Lots of slo-mo shots of people's amazed reactions? Check. Shots of the creators posing like hackers in dimly-lit server rooms, staring intently into the camera? Check. Serious lack of performance footage? Check. Very little actual information given? Check. And yeah, having 100 networks show up on the list is really dodgy unless you're in the middle of a big city. For that price, there should be some degree of customization allowed along those lines. Overall it just seems kind of a steep price for a one-shot deal, especially with the limitations it seems to have. |

You could not say anything and just do the reveal and leave it open for them to discuss and talk about how it could possibly have happened, so there I’m sure will only be 3 conclusions… you asked the owners of the routers to all change the names as you are a magician and want to try something… you’ve hacked the routers to show what you want… you have a special gadget to be able to change the names. Sadly by it showing a list of 100 I think will make people question and realise there wouldn’t be 100, so that eliminates theory 1 and 2 (layman thinking maybe) where if it mirrored the realistic amount of WIFI networks eg a few, then imo would leave all 3 scenarios for discussion on how and why it happened. |

"But to try and dress it up as anything else I just don’t think they will believe it." - you do know you're talking about magic, right? you told these people you were a magician, and you expect them to... lmfao okay nvmd.. you missed the magical utility looking for real magic.
