Yes, the simple version has become a little overused and common amongst iPhone users.


Hi Steve,

I'll share the exact UK numbers with you.
There are 22,215 iForce users in the UK.
There are over 10 million iPhones/iPod Touches in the UK.

The chances of you performing iForce for someone that has it on their iOS device is 1 in 450.

The population of the UK is 62 million.
The chances of you performing iForce to anyone that knows about it in the UK is 1 in 2790.

If you've seen someone else (other then a magician) with a copy of iForce on their device, you've been VERY lucky. I WISH more people had iForce, but at the present the numbers are REALLY SMALL.

In the US, over the last 2.5 years I've only bumped into two people that either had it or knew someone else that had it.

cheers,
Greg Rostami

I've had several magicians show me the app. They both did the 1 to 4 version, which didn't fool anyone for obvious reasons. 1-8 is a lot stronger, especially when you tie it into something like the heads or tails trick or a multiple out. I have my own trick I do with it, which I might release one day.

On that note, with the next update can you give us the option to change the background image (rather than just White) as we can draw on photos then, and I see lots of opportunities with that - such as did I draw glasses, earrings, a hat, a scarf, a goatee, a scar, a bogie, or a fangs on a photo of the face. You could even take the photograph of the person your performing the trick on. the photo is in the photo album so you just select in in app, and have the eight drawings already set. You can then save the final picture and e-mail it them with your contact details in the signature.

If you could make the background image change in the same way as the drawing, that gives you an eight way multiple out for tricks like cataclysm, one away and think of a card also.

Does "Magic With The iPhone by Nicholas Byrd" is a 'video based effect'?

Hi all,

I came across this post and since some of my apps are mentioned I thought I'd post to say a massive update to my app Magic Stage is hitting the App Store at the end of the week.

I've been working on the update for months. Adding features like the ability to enter 'Performance Mode' to take the heat off the app in performance situations. Plus it includes two new tricks.

Love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,

Matt

FWIW, IForce has been one of my best small investments in magic. The people I show it to really, really like it. Worth many times its price to me.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

reviews and IT IS NOT iPhone 5

Or OS6 Compatable

Thank you Chessmann,

Since you're a fan of iForce, did you see my latest video?

I am looking for an app that can reveal a playing card in a photo that has just been taken. There was a similar trick on the market some years back that used a Polaroid camera. It was called Say Cheese by Mike Bent. Anyone remembers it?

Thanks in advance.
Yours,

Ivan

If you get a mo, check out MagiDate which is the card at a birthday effect using the actual iPhone diary. Here's the link below;

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/magidate/id996208135?mt=8

As it uses the native iPhone calendar, it doesn't jump out as an App!

My app "ghost card" does something similar to that. It's iPhone only, demo video link on the AppStore.

Here's a live performance of me using MagiDate at the Magic Circle in November. This is UNEDITED and although I'm performing this on stage, it's obviously ideal for close up - hope you like it...

“It’s not what you do that matters, or even how you do it;
it’s what the spectators perceive you as doing that matters.
That’s the MAGIC they’ll remember.”
