Focus by Joel Dickinson vs iNFLUENCED

A participant thinks of an image. Seconds later, you reveal what they are thinking. Your participant can either think of any image entirely in their mind within a category… or freely focus on an image from your gallery. No writing. No typing. No awkward procedure. No AI and no internet required during performance. Focus is a performance system built for magicians and mentalists, designed to create impossible thought-reading demonstrations using a completely natural gallery. “This has become a go-to for me. The reactions I get are absolutely insane.” — Joe Bainbridge Unlike many digital effects, Focus feels casual, organic, and genuinely natural in performance. The interface mirrors a real photo gallery, allowing the experience to unfold without suspicious handling, strange processes, or awkward procedure. Whether your participant thinks of an image in their mind or freely focuses on one from your gallery, the thought remains completely hidden. Use your own photographs, create custom galleries, and reveal thoughts in the way that best suits your performance style. Comes ready to perform with a built-in “Who Is It?” gallery, allowing you to start performing straight away. Built for real-world performance with instant reset, flexible handling options, optional smart watch notifications, and complete offline capability. Perfect for close-up, walkaround, social media, casual performing, content creators, and professional magic and mentalism routines. FEATURES • Create custom image libraries for different routines • Use your own photos from your gallery, files, or folders • Perform using either a freely thought-of image or a target gallery • Comes ready to perform with a built-in “Who Is It?” gallery • No AI • No internet required during performance • Choose different reveal modes for each routine • Instant reset • Flexible handling options • Optional notification system for compatible smart watches • Familiar gallery interface that feels natural and unforced • Fast, reliable, practical, and performance tested REVEAL MODES Focus is designed to reveal your participant’s thought in any way you want. If you simply want to secretly discover what your participant is thinking and reveal it later in your own way, Focus allows you to do that in seconds. Focus also includes several powerful built-in systems... Live Peek Secretly obtain the thought-of information with invisible handling. Reveal it naturally away from the screen, or receive the information through an optional notification system on your phone or compatible watch. Blind Reveal The participant interacts with the gallery while the phone remains face down. Somehow they still arrive at the exact image they are thinking of, this revelation happens in their own hands. Date Reveal A participant thinks of any image and any date. Moments later they discover that exact image was predicted long before the performance began, on the very date they are thinking of. Force Mode Focus doesn’t just reveal thoughts. It can secretly create them. Guide a participant to any image you choose while everything appears completely fair and natural. Mosaic Zoom out from a single image and watch the entire gallery visually transform into a giant mosaic revealing the participant’s exact thought. Falling Tiles The gallery shatters apart, exposing the single image the participant is merely thinking of beneath it. Polarise Shake the device and the gallery visually morphs into one clear image, the image held in the participant’s mind. Recently Added Sometimes the strongest methods are the simplest. Quietly identify the participant’s image using a deceptively innocent reveal process that feels completely genuine and impossible to backtrack. Turnover Appear to arrive at the wrong conclusion before the image unexpectedly transforms, revealing that you knew the participant’s thought all along. Designed for performers who want mentalism that feels impossible, fast, and real.

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.
