Looking for an effect name
Hey everyone, I've been looking for the name of an effect for a while now, but I can't find it. The effect involves the magician divining a contact from a spectator's phone after they scroll through their contact list.
If anyone speaks English, it's the trick that appears in the following video at the 18:33 minute mark:https://youtu.be/Sl7S3VSUB7k?si=53-gxZltKGWuvw9r.
If anyone knows what it's called or where I can learn it, it would be a huge help.
Hey @Juanje,
The effect is clear and well-explained, but the person filming... 😂,
seems to have done it with a bit of mischief, as you can't see half of the magician's actions when he has the phone in his hands.
So I can't really tell if, for example, it's:
Simply a screenshot of the contacts list at a point the magician already peeked at, and then he fakes moving the contacts when he hands over the phone face down.
Or if it relies on some kind of app. And I'm talking about hacking the spectator's phone via Bluetooth, which I highly doubt.
Honestly, I can't tell you much more, but I'll pass along the magician's page so you can investigate it yourself.

Thanks for the info. Honestly, I haven't found a better video.
