Zooming Box

A very visual effect, performable for all scenarios. The magician shows a card box and asks the spectator for their phone. The spectator takes a picture of the front of the box and picks a place on the picture to zoom. While the spectator is holding the box in their hands, magic happens — the zoomed picture matches the front of the box that has zoomed in on the spectator's hands. A great, highly examinable routine that works in the spectator’s hands and can be used as an opener or a closer in any card magic set. This engaging card magic effect doesn’t require the spectator to choose a card, making it ideal for walkaround, close-up, and stage situations where immediacy and visual impact matter. Includes two different routines, specially prepared boxes, and gimmicks designed to work with any cellphone (either iOS or Android). Easy to perform, strong on visual storytelling, and perfect for modern, phone-centric audiences.
