iRis allows you to perform the following mind-blowing and untraceable effects…
The Notes Test:
The spectator writes something on their notes app and then deletes the information. They make sure it is GONE, GONE. It’s not in the recently deleted, it’s not ‘shake to undo.’ That information is deleted. Only then do they hand you their phone. You’ve been nowhere near the spectator at this moment. When you get their phone, within 5 seconds, you’ll know exactly what they’re thinking of. And you can reveal it however you want.
This effect is incredibly versatile and we’ll show you a whole bunch of ways you can reveal the information written down.
For instance, you can have the spectator pick someone they know and draw their face—and you guess the name once you see the face. You can have the spectator draw random lines on their notes and then show how they’ve actually drawn the very item they were thinking of. You can take a picture of the spectator holding an imaginary object and then draw the object they’re thinking of onto the photo itself. Really, any feature available in the notes app can be adapted to suit the type of effect you’re going for.
The Google Maps Test:
They go on Google Maps, zoom in to any place and remember it. They don’t type and search for anything, they simply remember it in their mind. They can then zoom all the way out, and hand you the phone. Within 5 seconds, you know the place they’re thinking of.
The Internet Test:
They go on any site—Wikipedia, The Magic Cafe, ESPN, any site with text will work—select any article and then highlight and remember a word. Even though they can then change the page, go to a different article, web page, whatever. Within 5 seconds of taking the phone, you’ll know what word they were thinking of.
(If you don’t have WiFi you could even do this using their own notes app!)
The Spotify Test:
They load up Spotify, and skip tracks until they find one they like. They then skip through as many more tracks as they want and then hand you the phone. Within 5 seconds, you know the song they’re thinking of.
The Photo Test:
They open their photos app or maybe Google Images and find a photo. Within 5 seconds of taking the phone back you know the image.
For example, you might ask them to look up movie posters and swipe through the images until they find one they like. Then they keep swiping so that there’s no way you can know which one they stopped on. You take the phone back and look through the posters…eventually stopping on the one chosen by the spectator.
The Book Test:
They go on any book they want, whether it be a PDF off the internet or on their kindle app. They go to any page and highlight any word. Even though they can then change page, change pdf, or really do anything they want…within 5 seconds of taking the phone, you’ll know what word they are thinking of.
The Calculator Test:
They type any series of numbers into the calculator app. They don’t even have to do a sum, they delete, maybe type something else so you can’t ‘shake to undo’, and still, within 5 seconds of taking the phone back, you know the numbers.
(The spectator doesn’t need to do any sums with these numbers, but they can if you want them to—and it won’t make it any harder!)
The Message Test:
They type anything they want in their messaging app. They delete it. Within 5 seconds of taking the phone back you know the message they drafted—and who they were going to send it to.
And once again—you aren’t just hitting ‘undo.’ The spectator can write their real message, delete it, and then change the recipient and write as many ‘fake’ messages as they like.
The Facebook Feed Test:
They scroll through social media and choose any post they want. They can keep swiping, open a different person's profile, etc. Within 5 seconds of taking the phone back you know the image.
The Calendar Event Test:
You have them scroll on their calendar app, and choose any event. They can keep scrolling, choose another event, any so on…but within 5 seconds of taking back the phone you know the event, the date and the time.
The YouTube Video Test:
You have them pick any YouTube video they want. They can change videos, keep scrolling—you get the idea. But within 5 seconds of taking back the phone you know the video they chose.
It would take hours to list everything you can do with this principle.
You’re going to love coming up with your own effects doing this. You can use Google Translate, Google Docs, Gmail, Whatsapp, Evernote…even Google Authenticator or the Premier League football app for crying out loud!
This effect is beyond clean and it’s practically self-working.
iRis is NOT a card trick. But if it was, it would look exactly like this for a spectator…
“Take a borrowed deck, shuffle it, remove a card, put it back, shuffle it, hand me the deck. This is your card!”
