The thing is, you can ask them to name any card on the spot right there in front of them in a few seconds. They can watch you type on your phone and they can see that you are not typing a card name. Also, let's say you have a friend that loves Harry Potter, you can ask them to name a character from the books and within 5 seconds dozens of servers on their phone have that name. This is customizable. I love it.
a thumb tip is hidden technology, but marked cards are very visible - it's all about how YOU present it. Lots of magicians use visible technology and entertain their spectators. (okito box, bill tube, scotch and soda, svengali pad)
David - thank you for this review. I've been thinking about getting this. Also, thank you for being selfless and promoting Daniel Madison's channel. This is what the magic community SHOULD be all about.
Just a point to add. I am a certified Cisco Enterprise Wifi engineer and i encountered problems with the reveal showing up on Android phones in Wifi saturated environments. The device appears to transmit at 2.4Ghz on channel 1 which is the most common frequency put out by most routers. Android phones are more sensitive to wifi saturation than iphones. When performed in a wifi dead zone (parking garage) there was no issues. The French Twins are putting out a new update today so hopefully there is some improvement in this area.
Finally played with this today. It’s one of those fun things that I even amuse myself with!! Daniel Madison is great!! I have been a subscriber to his Patreon channel for quite a while too!!
I got this and the reactions you get are amazing especially in a group of people they can literally think of anything anything a name number place or thing and you can instantly change the WiFi into whatever they’re thinking not only theirs but everyone around you this is one of the most powerful pieces of magic ever created
I’ve been looking at this for awhile and I remember seeing your review and I went back and watched it again. I think I’m going to get it now. Have you had much fun with yours?
great review as usual David. flashing a bios is always scary, remember old days when you could ruin a board if did it wrong. as for the network thing, with some digging in the settings you can adjust your device to use both wifi and cellular data, in iOS it’s wifi-assist and in android i believe it’s dual acceleration or something along those lines. anyway, curios to see it in my hands eventually despite the little high price!
@@magicorthodoxy They've actually updated the instructions and no longer require the exe. They are using a website that takes advantage of the WebSerial protocol via the browser. However, using the supplied USB cable can be crucial, as I had this issue. I will be seeing what the difference is in what cable I was trying to use versus what was supplied.
@@KevinGoosie I had the same issue, I tried to do the update with a standard USB on one side and a micro USB on the other side. Did not work, I had to buy a new cable that was USB-C on one side and USB micro on the other side. I tossed the original cable, didn't see it in the box...
Hi David, excellent review: thorough, thoughtful, informative, candid and enjoyable. I so appreciate you openness and forthright insights and observations. Thank you so much for all you do for the Magic and Mentalism Community! Your friend, David
It doesn’t matter as to the specifics of the methodology involved. Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last 25 years, the default setting response from every spectator is: “What technological technique do you know about that I don’t or want piece of tech do you have in your possession.” When the centerpiece of your magic prop is a piece of technology itself and the effect is also technological in nature, you render your own skills as a “magician” obsolete.
Magic isn't about tricking people or fooling them, it's about entertaining them. If your spectator is trying to figure our your tech, then it's because the magician did something to tip them off - most magicians use tech, stripper decks, okito boxes, bill tubes, marked cards and they legitimately entertain. Be careful saying that those magicians dont have skill or that they are obsolete because they use a gimmick
@@magicorthodoxy There is NO entertainment without moments of awe. There is no moment of awe without providing them with something beyond their reasoning or understanding. Hence: Magic TRICK. There is no logical disconnect here. There’s only one place a spectators mind can go. ONE. And that is: This was accomplishment by a piece of technology that I’m not aware of don’t have access to myself.
@@magicorthodoxy Perhaps and I say PERHAPS if this was performed as part of a larger routine and folded into that routine then maybe it could work. Maybe.
The Glitch effect creeps some people out. I love it. I use a Horror theme on mine, I ask them to name a scary movie character, if they say Ghostface from Scream and they immediately see my cell glitch into his name they freak out.
Sorry just a card reveal. Unless your dealing with an old person who doesn’t know technology. If you’re familiar with pen testing this can be done for free and dozens of diff ways.
Huh visit? I’ve been an inner circle member for years. Do you know what pentesting is? I doubt it, cause you sound like someone saying how amazing the ps1 is not knowing there’s a ps5 out in the world. I get it they send you free stuff you’re not gonna say negative things about it, but I was just giving you information that you can look up and expand your knowledge a little. I’m not hating I would do the same thing if people sent me thousands of $$$$$$ of free stuff every year. I was just trying to help you from sounding uninformed. Still love ya David!❤
Im someone coming from the tech field, so I am naturally very biased when it comes to effects like this. I think it would fool lay people (def. not people in the tech field, but that's a different story!) - but I really, really don't like the price. I get that you are not only paying for the gimmick but also for the idea / presentation / teaching material, but it's so beyond the material costs that I don't want to support Hacker by Les French Twins. Especially given the fact that there are pretty much ready-made devices which do the exactly same thing, so in a sense you are only paying $200 for the tutorials. (minus the gadet price, which is ~ $20).
Great job David! I really feel like this may be pretty obvious for a spectator. Everyone has mobile hot spots on their phone that they can name. I feel like they will think that's how it's done. If the card is forced it could be done that way....
@@magicorthodoxy ooooooh I missed that! That definitely makes it significantly more amazing! It's great to see you put so much passion into the channel David, your channel is one of my 3 daily watches!
The amount of people that have no idea how phones work is amazing. So you can make this into a crazy amazing effect. Its a TOOL. Now i do have a FLIPPER ZERO that i would be able to do something similar as brodcasting the wifi name for the participant to look amongs the other random wifi. Im going to challenge myself to replicate this tool with my own flipper zero to make the same effect. Thanks for the Idea!
Some GenZ teens might think that, but they are still freaked out. It's impressive either way especially if you customize it. When Copperfield used to levitate on stage at his shows..... no one thought he was actually flying. 😉
My only fear is that tech is always changing. If I drop $200 on a piece of Magic equipment I wanna use it as long as I can, years and years, but within a year or two I can see there being updates in tech that make this not work anymore
I've been freaking people out with this. Worth every penny. I set the Alpha list to Horror characters because I love the genre. You can set this for city names, vacation locations, Disney characters, whatever you want. This can be adapted to any situation, party or event. 🤓
Many thanks for the review David. Personally, not for me. Does this have a wow that is amazing Mark, reaction ? Maybe a new name for this type of magic is needed ? I would give anything a chance, good luck to all who enjoy this, and THRILL me .
spectators don't know what slot boxes or oikito boxes are , nor how they work - and it's probably not wise to use the Amish as an example of ignorance - they are very intelligent people
@@magicorthodoxy They are IGNORANT of TECHNOLOGY, which is precisely why I used them as an example. It’s has nothing do with their intelligence or apparent lack thereof. Amish peoples are one of the few groups in the world that survive and thrive in a world where we all lose power and no longer have access to tech. They are certainly no dummies. I didn’t intend to suggest that, FYI.
@Danielmadison is an amazing teacher. I actual went thru the snap change masterclass he made. I agree he is amazing and deserve the recognition. I have been following him for years and got so excited when i saw him create a youtube channel. I love seeing all the people i follow from young age create a channel like spidey too. Feels amazing. More connected
I think technology works best in magic when its hidden. The spectators will just think there is some tech involved, its not really magical
The thing is, you can ask them to name any card on the spot right there in front of them in a few seconds. They can watch you type on your phone and they can see that you are not typing a card name. Also, let's say you have a friend that loves Harry Potter, you can ask them to name a character from the books and within 5 seconds dozens of servers on their phone have that name. This is customizable. I love it.
All about your presentation. You can make even the hunted key magical with a great presentation.

100% agree

yup, I mentioned the update in the review
That's it. I'm definitely using this as my prom proposal.
LOL
"OH. Kewl! You changed all my network settings! Come here. Let me punch you. You #$=_*% hacker jerk!" - likely spectator response.
😂
I meant "kewl". Not kelly.
click the 3 dots and you can always EDIT your comments without deleting them
I can confirm that this is very cool. Little expensive but cool. I mainly use this to spread messages in certain area's, rarely as a magic trick.
It's so cool
This is insane. I had not heard of it. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Finally played with this today. It’s one of those fun things that I even amuse myself with!!
Daniel Madison is great!! I have been a subscriber to his Patreon channel for quite a while too!!
That is awesome!
Thanks again for another great review. I may have to get this.
Any time!
I got this and the reactions you get are amazing especially in a group of people they can literally think of anything anything a name number place or thing and you can instantly change the WiFi into whatever they’re thinking not only theirs but everyone around you this is one of the most powerful pieces of magic ever created
Agreed - I think the majority of people have no idea how this could be done
I’ve been looking at this for awhile and I remember seeing your review and I went back and watched it again. I think I’m going to get it now. Have you had much fun with yours?
I keep hoping to use it more
So, since you can't be on more than one network at a time, im assuming that it probably won't integrate with other apps like inject?
its possible some apps my work if they are connected to your provider. Remember this is a LOCAL device. You just cant be connected to 2 local devices
great review as usual David. flashing a bios is always scary, remember old days when you could ruin a board if did it wrong. as for the network thing, with some digging in the settings you can adjust your device to use both wifi and cellular data, in iOS it’s wifi-assist and in android i believe it’s dual acceleration or something along those lines. anyway, curios to see it in my hands eventually despite the little high price!
this is really just a little exe file and then you navigate to their update file and update it

Good morning, David!
Daniel indeed deserves it! I did my part 🤟
You rock!
@@magicorthodoxy you, sir! You rock!
Seems very expensive for what it is. A reveal using the hotspot on your phone would work just as well. You still have to force a card.
yes, but this "changes" all the networks in the area to the same reveal and they can see it on THIER PHONE

Looks awesome. Thanks again Dave!
No problem 👍
I show they have a "glitching" option for the phone - what did you think of that feature ?
It looks super cool
The Glitch effect creeps some people out. I love it. I use a Horror theme on mine, I ask them to name a scary movie character, if they say Ghostface from Scream and they immediately see my cell glitch into his name they freak out.

Sounds cool. A bit suspicious for people who can figure out tech though (I don’t know this aspect but I can deduce what is happening.)
I can't LOL 🤷♂️
Great review! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great job David! I really feel like this may be pretty obvious for a spectator. Everyone has mobile hot spots on their phone that they can name. I feel like they will think that's how it's done. If the card is forced it could be done that way....
but those mobile hot spots can't change the name of EVERY wireless signal around them to match their chosen cards - on their phone

This trick sounds cool ,and creepy ❤

Sounds like a “hack” to pure magic 🤷♂️
It’s a pass for me.
Thanks for reviewing David 👍👍
it's in the title 😂

Thank you 🤗
Thanku sir for review 👍👍wating for long time
My pleasure
Why are you never angry? even if the trick is not good, I didn't see you being angry :D I have never met a more positive person than you
I dont ever get angry or raise my voice ... life's too short
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
My only fear is that tech is always changing. If I drop $200 on a piece of Magic equipment I wanna use it as long as I can, years and years, but within a year or two I can see there being updates in tech that make this not work anymore
we live in a consumable world - there's no telling you'd do this trick in a few years even if it DID work. IT thread breaks - gaff cards get folded
I've been freaking people out with this. Worth every penny. I set the Alpha list to Horror characters because I love the genre. You can set this for city names, vacation locations, Disney characters, whatever you want. This can be adapted to any situation, party or event. 🤓
AGREED !!!
Many thanks for the review David.
