If you enjoy magic tricks and cartoons you will love iToon. This virtual assistant will allow you to find the card chosen by your spectator thanks to VR technology. Very easy to do, runs with your classic Bicycle Rider Back deck.

One of the greatest classics of card magic goes fully digital! iToon is the modern version of the famous Card-Toon© by Dan Harlan.

Gentlemen's Magic team and Bigmagie are proud to present iToon in collaboration with two famous magicians: Peter Oz and Dan Harlan.

More real and more modern than ever, the famous stickman comes back in augmented reality and thanks to several animations will be able to find a chosen card, an ESP symbol or even the astrological sign of your spectator.

iToon is really easy to do, just approach the camera to the back of a deck of Bicycle deck, the animation begins. Let the show start!

This application requires a Bicycle Rider Back deck (red back color) not included with this purchase. You can buy this deck in any online magic retailer.

A creation signed Peter Oz.
Based on an original idea by Dan Harlan.
Produced by Gentlemen's Magic and Bigmagie.

Explanations in English and French.
iToon by Peter Oz, Dan Harlan & Gentlemen's Magic

I just had to post this after having seen Craig and Rylan's Review Show of this app. If you wanted to bring this effect to life, this would a way of going about and doing it. I purchased it and wasn't disappointed.

I’m loving this thing. I usually hate app magic, but this is so entertaining and surprising and puzzling.

Picked this up after Craig’s review. Took me a while to get it to work. Turns out I was using a Maiden back. Didn’t realize it only works with Rider backs. Once I figured that out, worked like a charm.

I as well realized that a Maiden Deck would not work as well and that only the Rider Backs are the only ones that work.

One the things that a magician once told me was to never remove the cellophane totally from a deck of cards unless you're totally sure you can't make use of it.
So, with this effect, using Rider Backs, I kept the deck in the cellophane and draw the circle around the biker with an erasable marker. Once the effect is over, I take my thumb to erase the circle from the cellophane as if to say, "Did this really happen?"
Just a little something, I thought would add to the effect.

Nice idea. My only nit pick is that I wish the animation for the traditional reveal was as good as the animation for the interactive reveal. I like the stickman climbing out of the circle.

I just picked this up, I have several other apps on my phone some cost a lot more than this, the price for this app is very reasonable, both versions of the card reveal are very easy to perform.
I performed both versions on my wife, nearly always my first spectator when I get something new, she loved the effect and when stickman does his reveal put a huge smile on her face. I would say that even if you don’t normally do app magic I would seriously consider having this one as it’s a lot of fun to perform.
Like ERIC states above it would be nice if the animation of stickman was the same for both versions ie climbing out of the circle, maybe possible future update, so all told I would highly recommend.

This is a great trick for the price.
Always do the card from phone version 👌🏻

Noticed a few things with the app:
It would be great to dive directly into the camera setting (without showing the menu first).
That way we could replace the icon and start from camera icon.
The backround picture unfortunately doesn’t work at all.
There is no second sequence with the interactive mode.
After the card is produced it would be great to shift back the attention to our little helper.

I would also lovely to see more animations and integration options.
For example knocking on the little card door before the stickmen comes out. Smile
Something like that.

Great idea so far - thank you.

Those who have this can you choose what colour the folded card is in a setting between red and blue when he throws the card to the screen?
Thanks

A whole back of a card would be good rather than a quarter then it could be used with the Saturn magic effect

Ok - thank you. Shame, but maybe in a version update there maybe more setting options like blue/red card even folded or whole card options.
Thanks

A whole card would not fit all phones and a MCF adds another (important) layer of deception here.
You can set up your Indexed with pre scored cards so you can use a index if you like.

Unfortunately you are right - happened way too often.
I’ve spent 99€ on Card Oracle back then and can’t use it anymore.

I hope Gentleman Magic will care about their customers.
It’s a lovely piece - tested it today and it was fun to perform!
