About

PhotoMorph

Features
Read full description

PhotoMorph is a brand-new magic method that lets you transform a photo into another inside the Camera Roll, adding a powerful kicker to any reveal! And the best part: you can even perform it on your spectator’s own device — no need to install any Shortcuts, App Clips, or anything at all on their phone. Just AirDrop a single photo… and you’re ready to go! The method is easy, clean, fun to perform, and allows you to focus on what really matters in magic: your presentation. Picture this: you send your spectator a photo of you holding a playing card — let's say it’s the 3 of Diamonds. You then ask them to choose a card from a deck, and — surprise — it’s a different one: the King of Spades. With a wave of your hand over their phone, the photo visually morphs, transforming the 3 of Diamonds into the King of Spades! That’s just one idea. You can get creative and use PhotoMorph for so much more: fixing "wrong" predictions, time travel routines, transforming one selection into another, making something appear or disappear from the image, creating multiple outs, or combining with other magic tricks (like Double Exposure by Asi Wind, 52 to 1 by Dani DaOrtiz, Free Will, The Architect of Predictions, and more)! KEY FEATURES: - A brand-new, devious method — simple and powerful - Incredibly easy to perform - Perform the effect on your spectator’s phone, with no need to install any Shortcut, App Clip, or anything at all - You end completely clean, with nothing to delete or remove from their device - Multiple ways of performing the transformation, including visually - You can make the photo change even months after you sent it - No assistants needed and no internet connection required - Fully integrated with iOS Shortcuts for advanced users, so you can integrate it to other apps and ideas - Take the photo on the spot - even with your spectator holding a card, a billet, or anything else - Access to an exclusive Facebook users group Thanks for checking out PhotoMorph — I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with it! Let your imagination lead the way. ****************************** DISCLAIMER: • TV performance rights are NOT included with purchase. All TV rights are reserved and available from Gui Del Frate.
