Borrow a spectator’s iPhone and open any app that you can scroll through; contacts, calendar, messages, even Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
You hold the phone face down and allow the spectator to randomly scroll through the app, stopping wherever they like. At this point, you can have them immediately lock their phone and take it back from you. Close your eyes, look away, you can even leave the room while the spectator unlocks their phone to see the picture, name, year, tweet they landed on. You then reveal EXACTLY what they chose.
This technique is completely customisable and incredibly simple.
With Ancient Scroll, you do NOT need to:
- Download anything
- Secretly open, close, switch or change apps
- Secretly type anything
- Access the internet
With Ancient Scroll, you CAN:
- Use any borrowed iPhone
- Use any app on the spectator’s phone that can be scrolled through
- Hold their phone at your fingertips, and never secretly touch the screen or buttons
- Have the spectator lock the phone immediately after scrolling
This is completely impromptu and uses a borrowed iPhone. There is no set up as it is always ready to go.
(Please note: The method for Ancient Scroll does not require the use of the internet. The only time internet is used is if the app you are performing with, such as instagram, requires it.)
This manuscript is a great use of a little-known aspect of the most if not all current phones. While this is a fantastic use of a prediction effect, many effects have been created revolving around this idea. Several great performers or creators have come up with similar ideas and even apps that accomplish what this manuscript does. The great benefit of this manuscript is that you do not have to buy an expensive app or even have to buy anything past this manuscript. This manuscript deals with a technique that utilizes that Calendar application on the phone, but due to the technique you can predict with 100 percent certainty the year someone will stop on.
Thanks for releasing this to the public great material.
With other effects & apps, a skeptical/intelligent audience member would be quick to attribute your "abilities" to some sort of special app...and they'd be right! While I do find certain apps clever, I would not consider them to be convincing displays of mentalism.
When I read that Ancient Scroll could be performed with a borrowed phone, I took the plunge given the low price. As soon as I had a look at the manuscript and associated method, I was instantly pleased. It was truly one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" moments.
