i can't remember if it is this trick or if it is the trick Caller-ID, i remember read in one magic magazine it says, 'due to the nature of the trick, it only works for phone in the USA, or something like it is only recommended for use with phone in the USA'....

If you know this, please try to verify this whether it is GhostVision or is it Caller-ID. Cheers!

Not sure which trick you're refering to, but I can confirm that it's certainly NOT Ghost Vision, which works with ANY camera-phone, irrespective of which country it's from

GhostVision, as Rob stated, will work with any camera phone. You can also use it with digital cameras if you so desire.

Do you join here just to annoy others? It's working you know, not just on me but on others.

DavidTheKrypt, nice review. It has everything a good review should have without leaving anything out.

Ghost Vision works with a camera phone in any country.

I'm not familiar with caller-id so I looked it up. It's by Larry Becker and Lee Earle. The link below sells it.

Apparently, it uses phone technology that doesn't work anywhere outside of North America, not just the USA. But no, this isn't Ghost Vision.

Oh YUP!!! That's IT! Cheers.

What actually IS caller-id? The link I provided doesn't quite get it clear to me. I know what it involves but what is the overall effect?

Ya.. it seems the description from http://www.moremagictricks.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=7622 is quite vague..... i couldn't understand at all...

Caller-ID is a mentalism effect, it is from Mentalism Unlimited,
a more detail description is available here:
http://www.mentalismunlimited.com/CallerID.html

There's even a demo video on the site.

Unfortunately the description is in jpg so i couldn't copy paste it here.

Finally found the advert in Magic Mag May 2007.

Seems in US and Canada is $299.50 postpaid..

And from moremagictrick.co.uk is GBP149.99...
but since it says not suitable for use outside of USA, I don't know why they are selling it in UK.

Wow very nice trick! I would purchase it but the cost of $299.50 for one trick is sort of holding me back on the financial side.

They're selling it in the UK probably to get money. People cannot complain if it doesn't work since they clearly state that it only works in Canada and the US.

its nice that the moremagictrick websites shows how it looks like

he... seems we have diverted attention from GhostVision.. opps..

i quite liked this trick and think seige is spot on in that if your unaquainted with how someones phone works then it is completely natural to look uncomfortable holding it/getting it into camera mode....i must say though you really can unsettle folks with this if you present it right .......i usually do card revelations with it though...which is nice
