I'm going to state my opinion.
Magic-related iPhone apps suck. There's no magic. It's a puzzle, at best. It's like a coin box that comes with kids magic sets. No magic.
Hi willabbotsm,
I'm going to state my
opinion about any magic.
Anything Magic-related sucks. Unless you're a naive child, there's no magic. It's a puzzle, at best (ALL magic tricks are puzzles to a mature audience). It's like a coin box that comes with kids magic sets. No magic.
I'm just messing with you . . . but my point is I can't think of ANY trick that isn't considered a puzzle by a mature audience.
The way that I present iForce, practically NO ONE suspects the app. If we ever meet, I can show you many presentations of iForce where you would never suspect the App. Here's one . . .
I use a modified version of the Al Koran deck that I made myself. My deck is different in that it has 8 force cards instead of 4.
I write my prediction on the iPhone, and leave it face down.
Have the spectator deal the cards from the top of the deck . . . they can stop anywhere they want . . . After they stop they have a free choice to take as many cards back or forth as they like.
The spec puts the face down card to a side with their hand covering the back of it. I show the rest of the cards are all different.
I say, "Before we proceed I want to show you what I had written on the display."
I flip over the iPhone to show that I had written "9 of Diamonds".
"Could you please turn your card over and show everyone which card you chose."
With this presentation the punch line is them turning over the card . . . the iPhone has nothing to do with it.
Just one of many presentations with iForce where the punch line is NOT the iPhone.
take care,
Greg Rostami
