What They Say

The Forensic Identification Assistant, THE most amazing piece of finger print locating technology ever created (or so it will seem)
Your spectator selects a card, signs it ( signing optional ) and returns it to the deck. The cards are cut in to 4-5 piles and the piles are mixed by your spectator. The FIA app is launched and your spectators fingerprint is logged in.
The app now scans every pile and not only identifies which pile contains the selected card but also at what position in that pile it is located!
Ok so how does this miracle actually happen??
Well as you can guess the app does not find the card but the clever design and programming allows it to appear that way.

There isn't much to add to this. The app (which seems to be for i phone only) makes the noises and shows a "scan" taking place then reveals firstly the pile and then the position in the pile of the chosen card. What ever there is in this is in the presentation but I bought it last Saturday and used it a couple of times when I was working on Sunday and it got good reactions.

It is a bit of fun, nothing more or less but as such is entertaining and because of the accuracy also slightly puzzling to the spectator. And at £7.99 it ain't going to break the bank. It won't sut everyone but for a table hopping magician I like it


Overall Good Fun, good value

9/10

Shame its only for iphone, would be nice if they had an android version also

Yeah, they should make an android version. I don't know why the didn't. It would cater to more people so in practice benefit the makers of the app.
Also as i said in the other topic on the same subject it's a great looking app.
