If you watch the demo video, the effect is that you ‘vanish’ from a photo in a spectator’s phone. The reality is that it’s not an identical photo with you ‘missing’ it’s simply a photo of just the spectator staring, not smiling.
The trick is NOT as clear as the ad trailer makes it look. You have to handle the spectators phone IN FRONT OF THE SPECTATOR before doing the effect. Also, if they access a certain area of their phone’s history, they can bust you on this effect. Now, the DVD DOES go over how to ‘clean that up’ but it requires you to monkey around with the spectator’s phone even more!
Another aspect of the method involves you pretending to be ignorant of how a smartphone works. Personally, I don’t want to act as if I just got out of a time machine from 1985 and pretend that I don’t understand how a smartphone camera works.
All this said, I think that there is a time and a place for everything, and I think this CAN work in SOME social, non-professional situations. You can’t do this with any phone for any spectator.
I think this would have been a better ten dollar download. This is a good IDEA but the execution is not the best value for twenty dollars. Personally, I think there are much better books and one trick DVDs out there for twenty bucks!
