t11.bulletin - Chris Kenner iPhone App - RELEASED!

[j.bayme]

Over the past few days, Chris Kenner and I have been in touch with Phil Schiller, Senior Vice President of Apple, regarding CK's original iPhone app. It's a magic trick - and it's the best I've seen developed for the iPhone or iPod Touch yet. We've worked on it behind the scenes for quite some time. It was developed by Richard Zadorozny, and has been tested on the iPhones of some of the top names in this industry.

As many of you know, we've been waiting over a month for approval. The story was picked up yesterday by the Wall Street Journal, AppleInsider, TUAW, and iLounge following iTrick's story on our delays earlier this past week.

Tonight, we announce here for the first time that following discussions today with Phil Schiller and Phil Shoemaker at Apple - we have been granted special permission and approval by Apple.

NOW AVAILABLE :: Buy It Now in the App Store

[Creeper]

you guys shoulda put it in cydia...woulda been MUCH easier

 

[penguincdude]

THANKS YOU! I've been waiting forever for this. That announcement was way better than some 1-on-1...although it would still be nice.

AWESOME news! Can't wait to finally see it on display -- hope you all like it! It's been a blast to show around to my friends and random people on the street and in the bars. It works VERY well, and nobody catches on how it's done.

Chris -- thanks a million for letting me develop your great idea for you!

As a VERY important side note, the app will be introduced into the app store at a price way lower than we were originally planning - $2.99. For a trick you can do ANYTIME, anywhere, to anyone - that has fooled some of the biggest names in magic - that is a certified bargain.

It is NOW live and available in the app store! Check it out here.

Can you give me a name on the App? I'd love to buy it, but I want to know what I need to search for!

 

[Cliff|Bumgardner]

What about the video that was filmed? *EDIT* The video is in the app, my bad. haha

Wow, that seems really cool. I think I have an idea how it would work, but I never would have thought of anything like that! You have at least one guaranteed buyer here!

Instead of being the hacker douche that I am, I actually bought this app and Im extremly impressed. Best magic app avalible, bar none. Its devious, yet easy. You can tell the effort put into this.

I sent in a review for the product page too.

EDIT- I may of spoke too soon. If your specators are looking closely, and are knowlagable, it might be tough to pull this off with an Ipod Touch.

Nice, this looks pretty cool. Downloading now. :]

i have an ipod touch 2g will it work on that?

We street tested the app to the Nth degree, and there is VERY slim chance your spectators will ever be able to figure it out.

In fact, I don't think I've ever had a spectator guess anything close to the right method - and I've performed this literally hundreds of times. Oftentimes, for magicians - smart, smart magicians.

Have fun with it!

Should work with any iPhone or iPod Touch.

I just bought it, and I really like it! It was a combination of two ideas that I had as to how it would work... very, very clever, and very, very well designed and put together! I love it so far, and I'll be sure to post a review once I show it off a few times!

Im just saying if someone knows the specifications of an Ipod Touch they will notice something thats not supposed to be there.

I just bought this. I really like it. Just don't worry about it. You perform the secret before they even know the trick starts. They won't want to inspect the screen or anything
