Pocket PCs, Laptops In magic

Postby Johnny Bravo » Oct 14th, '04, 22:58



I was wonderin' if any ones found a good use for lappies/pocket PCs in tricks.
Obviously you can have a deck of cards scanned in & ready to click on & display one particular card fairly easily but does anyone know of any other ideas?

Another nice idea might be to get a punter to write down any card in a word document etc & to save the file under their own name.
You then force a card onto the person, they re-open the file & it's changed to the card that's been forced?

Not sure how to achieve this though at the mo.

There are some good ideas already out there and frankly they are so good I'm not going to say anything more about it, except that details are in the restricted area of this forum...

(and I'm not talking about the Princess Card trick programs...)

Mmm please Mr Mod could you grant me access to the twilight zone of the forum!
Computers are my thing, I currently use my pockets pc as a GPS system, (no more late gigs for me :D ) my background music player & back up to main laptop & then use it for a magic trick even better.

I'm also keen of studying some more on routines & performance.

Shall go & write a review whilst I await your reply...
