New iPhone Trick From Richard Wiseman
RICHARD WISEMAN, the noted psychologist and magician, has released a new app for the iPhone called Telepath.
It’s been getting good reviews, including this one from none other than Derren Brown, who said it “genuinely triggers that ‘wow – how did you do that?’ response” which has to be a good recommendation.
It looks like the app was designed and/or programmed mainly by Sarah Angliss.
She says: “Telepath can also be used to predict numbers, cute animals, cards and dates — so can even improve your love life.”
Here’s a video of Richard and his friend demonstrating it. (more…)
Was This Your Card?
LAST SUMMER, I was performing some card magic in a bar when I noticed something interesting – all of my spectators were carrying iPhones.
That got me thinking. Wouldn’t it be cool if I could make a spectator’s freely chosen card appear magically on their iPhone screen – without me touching the phone?
When I got home that night I immediately set about building that feature into WasThisYourCard.com.
After much experimentation, I finally developed a system that did exactly what I needed. I’ve been amazing spectators with it ever since.
But now I’ve decided that if it’s useful to me, it could be useful to others, so I have opened the system up to other magicians.
WasThisYourCard.com will be available in two versions, Basic and Professional. Right now, only the Basic version is available. The Professional system should be up and running soon.
You can sign up FREE to use the Basic version by entering your email address in the box on the left of this page. After you’ve confirmed your address, you will receive a download link for the Basic Manual.
