Apparently, a lot of magicians get their tricks from another source, and they don’t make up all their own tricks. For example, Sean Scott is a professional magician who designs and sells illusions to other magicians. One of the tricks that he is selling is Render, which is made for the iPhone.
You can watch the video below to see what it is about. In all honesty, I can see why Sean incorporated and iPhone into the act. After all, most people have them in their pockets already, so why not do some tricks with it?
You can see how intriguing it is to see a coin appear inside the phone, and then somehow make it magically appear. Then there is the trick with the origami crane that folds up on the screen and magically appears.
I would have to say that Render would be the coolest iPhone App ever, but it is all a trick. It looks like you would have to pay to find out how it is done. For some reason, I don’t think it is a camera action, but some interesting sleight-of-hand.
