From the brain behind the Icarus Effect, here’s a real head-scratcher that’ll have your audience questioning just what they’ve seen (and maybe even their grip on reality). Aaron Paterson is at it again, sharing some of his most prized secrets with the magic community.
Picture this...
A spectator hands over their business card...
Now, get them to pick a playing card from a deck of 52...
The performer whips out their mobile and snaps a pic of their own eye...
Next, the spectator is invited to peer into the photo of that eye...
And then...
Brace yourself for the impossible!
As they gaze into the pupil of that captured eye, a card begins to appear and vanish—like a magician’s worst nightmare—only to reappear a moment later, leaving a lasting impression on the photo. The spectator is left gobsmacked to discover the card in the image is the very one they just thought of. It’s like you’ve plucked their thoughts right out of their noggin and made them materialise on screen.
And just when they think it’s all over, they’re off swearing under their breath...
Using the info from that business card, you can even email them the altered photo along with your contact details from your phone (assuming it’s a smart one, of course). You’re not just leaving them with a mind-bending experience but also your digital calling card.
Includes: Instructional DVD, exclusive access to the OD forum, and free downloads.
- Works with nearly any camera-equipped phone - Can be repeated straight away with a different twist - Super easy to execute once you've done the prep - No forcing involved, so chill out - Bonus Ideas section that’s worth the price of admission alone

Note: The prep work for OD is a bit of a faff, but once you’re set up, it’s a doddle to perform, practical, and ready to go whenever you are.
