iNFLUENCED – THE IMPOSSIBLE RECALL EXPERIENCE Created by professional mentalist Paul Brook, iNFLUENCED creates the illusion of an impossibly powerful memory. A participant rapidly scrolls through a numbered list containing up to 1,000 items—far too quickly to consciously read or remember them. Afterwards, they name the first item and number that come to mind. When they return to the list, their thought appears at the exact number they named. Despite having no opportunity to learn either piece of information, their recall appears perfect. ------ SET IT AND FORGET IT Prepare your note, choose a list and perform. iNFLUENCED quietly creates the finished note, placing the participant’s thought at precisely the position they named. A discreet vibration, flash or notification lets you know when everything is ready. The technology remains hidden, allowing you to focus entirely on the experience. ------ BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE Customise your note title, instructions, list, closing text, numbering style, capitalisation and more. Choose from supplied lists, create your own or load a complete presentation from the built-in Library. Lists and note setups can also be shared with other iNFLUENCED users. Receive the participant’s information through their completed note, the iNFLUENCED URL Scheme or optional Pro Camera Input. ------ UNLOCK MORE WITH PRO FEATURES Enhance your performances with optional In-App Purchases: WATCH PEEK – discreetly receive the participant’s number and thought on your Apple Watch CAMERA INPUT – recognise a number and words from printed or handwritten text API OUTPUT – send customised results to your chosen API endpoint, magic app or web service Unlock each feature individually or together with Unlock All. ------ ALWAYS EVOLVING iNFLUENCED is a living performance tool for modern mentalists, continually refined with new features, presentations and integrations. Whether using a supplied routine or creating your own, iNFLUENCED makes it appear that your participant remembered information they could never have consciously known.
