Does not work right, DON'T BUY!
Don't buy! And don't believe anyone who blames negative reviews like this one on the user! It shouldn't even be possible for the user to screw it up if this worked right. But let me begin by saying the concept/secret to the magic trick here is brilliant. I'm still hoping someone buys this, learns the secret, and then applies it in a way that works foolproof every time. Ideas on that shortly... At present, the trick itself hardly ever works right. And even if it worked 75% of the time (it doesn't), that still wouldn't be enough to be a dependable trick to actually perform for anyone. I held off for months (possibly years at this point) in submitting this review because I really, really, really wanted this to work. And didn't want to contribute to all the negative feedback and energy on this that might damper the creator's motivation to fix it. But we're now at a new-ish release/improved version, and it's still the same problem as always. The effect is this: the speck opens a special video on vimeo.com (it can't be YouTube) on their own phone. It's a video where a full deck of cards are flipped through one by one, and the spectator is told to press pause at any time on any card. Within 10 seconds (or less) after they pressed pause, the magician is able to name the chosen card they stopped at on the video being shown on their own phone only. The neat thing about this trick, in theory, is that there's absolutely no physical (or digital) connection of any kind between the spectator's phone/wifi connection and the magician (or the magician's phone/wifi connection, for that matter). You can go up to someone you've never met, tell them the website to go to on their own phone, never ever touch or take out your own phone, and the trick still works, all without a confederate or assistant of any kind. Wow! The secret is very cool in that it relies on a technological feature that already is built in to all iPhones (and presumably all Androids too) that you neven even knew existed. In fact, it technically relies on TWO very DIFFERENT hidden technological features of all mobile phones. Knowing that concept/secret alone is worth something much more than what this app does with it. And I'm really hoping someone will come up with a way to do something way better with it. The flaw in this particular trick is that it almost never works right. At present, the magician magically "receives" the wrong card almost every time, and it's usually off by exactly o
