About

Digital Visions

Read full description

Digital Visions is a performance tool for professional magicians. A spectator names a drawing. Your phone β€” sitting untouched on the table since before the effect began β€” shows a video message that already contains it. THE PERFORMANCE Press Go and put the phone down. The screen goes dark. Minutes later it pings with a message from a contact. You pick it up, open it, and play the video. Pause it before the reveal, ask for a drawing, and finish. WHAT YOU GET - A messages interface you can dress to look like your own phone β€” contacts, avatars, conversation history, all editable - Notifications that arrive on your timing, from ten seconds to five minutes - Complete offline operation once installed. No signal, no wifi, no problem - A free version with three reveals so you can try it properly before buying THE FULL PACK Unlocks the complete set of reveals β€” every drawing a spectator is likely to name, with alternative names mapped to each one so a "puppy" and a "dog" both land. Available as an in-app purchase, or with the code supplied in the boxed Visions release from your magic dealer. BUILT FOR WORKING PERFORMERS No connection required at performance time. Nothing to set up between shows. Designed by a working magician with over fifty releases through Murphy's Magic.
