What does Andrew Mayne think of his new iPhone app, Instamagic Camera?
What happens when you combine a psychological principle and a couple cold reading techniques in an iPhone app? Hopefully a fun result. For the Instamagic Camera, my latest and most sophisticated iPhone application I decided to build it around some techniques I use in my own magic and present it in a fun, visual way.
The application lets people mix an onscreen deck of cards – this is being generated in real time using a physics engine so no two shuffles are ever the same. They’re then asked to concentrate on a face-up card. Some adjustments are made to the camera and then the image of their card develops on a picture right before their eyes. It can be repeated over and over.
I also have two other effects in the app. One is a new take on the Princess Card trick where the thought of card ends up as a blurry smear. I’ve also included a modern take on a classic number trick.
