# SELFIE

The Blue Crown

(Based on 1 review)
Give Their Smartphone a Mind of Its Own

After a routine, you ask your spectator to pull out their Smartphone so they can take a selfie to remember the moment. You ask them to focus on the phone and just imagine that it takes a photo. Without the screen or any buttons being touched, the phone snaps the picture all by itself! The photo is in their library as a permanent souvenir!

The power of Selfie lies in the fact that it uses a spectator's own borrowed phone - they're 100% sure there are no special apps, making it that much more magical! Perfect for any venue, Selfie is ideal for casual or professional settings. It is easy to do, with nothing added or taken away from their phone. It also leaves them with an unforgettable story and photo evidence of your amazing magic so that they remember you forever!

-Works with iPhones and Most Android Devices
-No Apps Needed
-Borrowed Phone
-Nothing Added or Taken Away
-Multiple Presentations
-Leaves Them with a Memorable Photo Souvenir

Selfie - The Ultimate Deception
The best way to separate a magician from his money ? LIE ,
Selfie is an effect being sold through the Internet and various magic dealers internationally.
I am a second generation professional magician. I have been a member of the magic castle since 1981. I have been performing , and buying magic, for over forty years.
I WAS VERY EXCITED WHEN I SAW THE ADS FOR SELFIE -I thought it was to good to be true - and it is.
I have NEVER written a review of an effect in my life. This is a marketing scheme and gives the worst possible, most Blatant false advertising I have ever seen. It is an abuse of the magic community and takes advantage of trusting customers.
I am warning all magicians - both beginners looking for a self working pocket trick to professionals wanting to have impromptu effect for walk a round situations.
This is a fraud. DO NOT BUY.
The marketing material states the effect takes place on their phone "in their hands"
They state you ask the spectator to remove their phone - gaze at their camera and snap - it takes a picture.
The video commercials show just that. Even the performance section on the DVD sold shows just that. The product box states the spectator pulls out their phone , asked to stare at the camera, and magically it takes a picture. THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS.
In the Dvd they sell you they have a performance section - unfortunately it is total fake.
They do not show the entire performance , ever. They show the second half of a performance NOT showing you that you must take their phone, enter the settings section, turn on the Bluetooth and pair a device they provide you. They even have chutzpah to only show an angle that makes the hand operating the gimmick out of the screen.
This is a very invasive process. Would you want someone, a stranger, taking your phone and changing your settings?
We are all familiar with the actions of changing settings and I suggest this can not become without notice. At best it is very angle sensitive - a fact that is never addressed. The device may not pair with all phones. You must be familiar with I phones, androids galaxies, and other phones types to be able to do this operation quickly while performing. Not realistic.
Not only that, they suggest you take their phone back after the effect and go to settings, and remove the device, turn off e Bluetooth - all Un noticed be the spectator. Really, would you not notice someone doing all of that holding your phone ? I think it is not possible.
They never ever show this being done in a performance on the short 20 minute video the provide, because it can not be done. Period. This is a rip off.
Then they explain how to use their gimmick, a one dollar cheap plastic device widely available in Walmart and on line.
It has a button that acts a remote shutter, but they tell you just put in your pocket - no mention of how to hold it , or how to activate it undetected. Now for professionals, this may suffice but I think they are marketing this to Unsuspecting amateurs looking for a miracle. They will have no idea how to hide the action of pushing the button on the hidden gimmick without even a most basic discussion. Again this is a blatant abuse of our community.
The advertisement is nothing but a blatant LIE. A RiPOFF.
The most blatant lies I have ever seen in my 40 years of being a professional magician.
Period. I have seen a lot of ads for magic tricks, but this is the WORST example of exploiting our craft for profit I have ever seen.
Any dealers selling this product should stop immediately
The company "the blue crown" is selling this and they should be boycotted until they drop this product.
Write them. Yelp them. Tell your friends.Facebook friends..
Let's not allow such blatant false advertising and slick marketing to abuse and drag our profession into the proverbial gutter.
SELFIE is the ultimate deception and the ultimate rip off.
