This is something I started work on yesterday, there are a few more phases I could add but I dont wont to go over the top.

Just thought I would post here for feedback

Cheers

i liked that, I'd imagine anything to do with modern technology is quite arresting. It did however seem as if you were just cycling through photos on your phone, which I'd imagine kids would get right away.

Nice, is this your handling of the Rorrison effect? The extra phases sound intriguing, I've always meant to get round to learning this properly but haven't. Perhaps I should.

Cheers guys, dont know what the Rorrison effect is,you got anymore information Bronz? Its just something I started playing with, my handling is pretty bad at the mo.

the extra phases i have started to think about was breaking the screen at the first penertration and then fixing then do the change, I also want to have the coin move in the display, all possible just need to spend the time on it.

I think it's very difficult for effects involving pictures on the screen of an electronic device to appear magical, but this could be quite entertaining in the right context - particularly if you can produce evidence that the coin really has been inside the picture. For example, imagine that the photograph is of a snowy mountain, and when the coin comes out it is covered in snow. A completely different variation would be to use a photograph of something in the room, and have the coin disappear only to reappear in that location.

If you can let a spectator choose from several photographs which one to send the coin into, and still have the coin come out with appropriate physical evidence that it's been inside that photograph and not any of the others, then you might end up with a rather impressive effect. Method? Nah. Imagination first, method later.

I think Bronz is referring to a coin trick off Rorrisons Weapons Of Choice, where he pushes a 10p into his mobile and then shakes it out again.

Yeah that's the one Ecko. The handling is slightly more covered than yours Kems but otherwise the method looks nearly identical. Great minds and all that!

Actually, when going through pictures on your phone, it takes about a second to load, with a little loading picture in between. I think a lot of kids would realize it never goes that fast.

My phone takes about a (less than a) second to load, with no loading graphic/screen

The picture filename on the top of the screen would give it away, though

my phone loads them instantly, one of the pics is an animation of the 1p morphing to a 50p

Shame its already been done but I am pleased to have created my own version and its a cool thing to have your phone setup for

thanks for the heads up on the other effect I will take a look at some point

Really? I need a new phone.

I think what help is you need to design the grahphics to the screen size, that why the phone dosnt need to resize at all.

i made the 1p the perfect size, its slightly smaller than when the coin is placed on the screen, helps with perspective, I need to resize the 50p slightly and find a slightly better image for it.

I just watched they pther guys version, only bit i didnt like is where the coin moves around the screen, just didnt look like how a real coin would move.
