## Magic Spider Description
This is the Original "Spider on Hand" app as seen on Youtube. Beware of imitations.

Do you know anyone who is afraid of spiders? Everyone right? Then this is the perfect magic trick/prank for you.

Watch the trailer video at 

My Pet Boris app is the scariest app for the iPhone. Inspired by Jim Pace's magic trick "The Web" where a spider magically appears on the back of your spectator's hand. Bound to get amazing reactions.

The app uses the idea of "Augmented Reality" merging real life objects with computer generated graphics to create a truly frightening effect.


THE MAGIC SPIDER EFFFECT
You take a photo of the spectator's palm (secretly loading a plastic spider on the back of their hand) and place the phone on their palm to hold.

Your Pet Boris - an Australian Red back spider (black widow) creeps onto the screen and they can feel the vibrations as it walks. You can tap the screen and even slide your finger into the animation to scratch the spider's back. Boris walks off the screen.

You tell them that the phone has special sensors that when you wave your hand over the screen it makes the spider come back. He does.

You get them to wave their hand over the phone. 
It is just then that they glimpse a realistic spider clinging to the back of their hand and they FREAK OUT!!

Bound to get BIG reactions. 

Finger tone and size can be set to suit your own or you can import an image of your own finger. 

Start-up screen can be customised to suit your performance style. An actual  photo of their hand, solid white or any image from your library can be used as a background.

NOTE: Requires a plastic spider or cockroach and adhesive dots to perform. You should be able to find these locally or you can purchase from our website.

See our website  for more details, spider and cockroach supplies and video presentation & instructions.

THE MAGIC COCKROACH
The app also comes with a cockroach animation for those who think they are scarier than spiders.


THE MAGIC BUTTERFLY EFFECT - IN-APP PURCHASE - (for the Professional Magician)

The Magic Butterfly is an additional effect within the Magic Spider – My Pet Boris App. 

It is enabled as an “in app purchase” for around US$2.99 depending on your local currency. The custom finger feature is also unlocked when you purchase the butterfly effect.
 
This is a perfect routine for those times when you want to perform a beautiful effect for a little girl or woman, leaving her with a magical gift at the end. You will get similarly strong reactions to the Magic Spider effect without the scare factor.

PRESENTATION:
The magician simulates a grand illusion in the palm of the spectator’s hand. A tiny foil covered “Magical Egg” is placed in the palm of the spectator’s hand and then photographed. The phone is placed on their hand.

The egg transforms into a Chrysalis and then into a butterfly. The magician’s finger is seen to tickle the virtual butterfly on screen which then flies away. 
Using a magical gesture the magician brings the butterfly back briefly before it flies off again.

The spectator is asked to try and make it return. When they try, they find a matching butterfly (in an impossible location) on the back of their hand. The original foil egg has vanished.

THE CARD REVELATION EFFECT - IN-APP PURCHASE - (for the Professional Magician)

The Magic Spider effect with the addition of a torn card corner revelation as a finale.

## Magic Spider Reviews in Australia

### ***** "Fun app for anyone interested in magic"
A fun spider prank that is bound to get a great reaction. I always have it in my pocket with a plastic spider stuck to the back of my phone. Use it on people out having fun and you'll be the life of the party. 

Support is very responsive, so 
if you are unsure of how to use it or have any trouble, watch or read the instructions or contact them for help using the support button in the app or on the website. 

It works great on my iPhone11. You can resize the finger and card to suit the size of the screen.

-- Jonathanmagic, 2014-11-11

### ***** "Great Fun"
Awesome app. Worth 10 times the price.
-- Liamski10, 2014-11-10

### ***** "My Pet Boris"
Well over a year since I first adopted Boris, and I have to say, it's still one of my never-leave-home-withouts. Reactions are still as fantastic as the first time I did it, and now that it's gone viral with the chick and her weave, "I told you not to do that!" now's the perfect time to get it, and even at a special price!

*first review*
Amazing app, finally available on the iPhone!
Don't get left behind in the magic stakes, if you perform any kind of magic, then this is for you!

Congrats Ian!
-- Dragon Tooth, 2014-11-08

### ***** "So much fun"
This is a simple magic prank that packs such a punch. 

There is so much psychology built in to create the perfect scam. Even spider haters will be laughing for hours afterwards.

The app can be configured so much to suit your own performance style. 

Any that complain obviously haven't taken time to read the instructions. It's great!
-- HitlerArnie, 2014-11-07

### ***** "Wow"
Great way to break the ice with someone you don't know :) If they survive the trauma that is

-- Kid from Sydney, 2014-06-10

-- zeon / don, 2014-06-08

Great App, Great Reactions, just love it! I carry Boris with me wherever I go even on airplanes! Great take on Jim Paces card effect called the Web. Well done 10 out of 10 from me!!
-- Garry Cohen, 2013-12-07

### *---- "World's Worst App"
Whenever I enter the app, I just get a black screen. A waste of $5, where's my refund?
-- athfanaus, 2013-08-02

### ***** "Awesome app!"
I absolutely love this app and have no idea how anyone could give this a negative review. 
I was a bit confused by the spider pausing at first but I asked for help using the "SUPPORT" button on the app and was contacted on how to solve this problem immediately. Turns out it is a feature and not an error and can be turned off in settings and this is actually outlined in the video and written instructions. Duh!
This app is the best conversation starter ever and sooooo much fun! Best of all is that it is so easy to perform the trick.
The spider is my favourite but I bought the Butterfly as well for the times when scaring someone might not be appropriate and it is a nice effect.
-- Swb8268, 2013-07-29

### *---- "Waste of Money"
If I could demand refunds I definitely would, this worked only once for me and now all I have is a black screen even when I tried re-downloading it did the same thing.
Don't waste time and money on this one.
-- MummyMara, 2013-07-22

### ***** "Awesome App"
Scared my mum so bad. This app is so much fun. Get it now.
-- Hazmat453, 2013-05-14
