Modus Operandi:

Open the Target app.

Always hold the phone in landscape mode.

Then choose the mode:

Start Target: selection by circling on the photo (helpful when the objects are similar)

Start Zoom: selection with zoom in on it.

From Gallery : using an existing photo

From Camera : taking a new photo

The photo will appear in landscape mode.

Touch the screen to place the first selection, mark the middle object first. Is it your reference point to remember.

Mark then the 2 targets on the right, starting from the center to the right AND THEN the 2 on the left.

Use your thumbs, it is done very quickly!

Long press return to the menu Select Image

Once the 5 outs marked, flip the phone flat,


keeping it parallel to you and the objects.
Keep it in hand, or put it on the table.

This position corresponds to the central target, the first point. You can feel 'one' vibration. Twelve o’clock.

When you rotate the phone to the right, at 2 o’clock, the target passes over the 2> you will feel 2 vibrations.

By rotating further to the right, among 3 o’clock, the target moves to the 3> the rightmost, 3 vibrations.

Same thing to the left!

There are therefore 5 positions: 12 o’clock 1 2 o’clock 2> 3 o’clock 3> 10 o’clock <2 9 o’clock <3

Rotate gently, when you feel the vibration you can flip OR wait 3 seconds for the remind vibration to be sure.

Once the phone is turned over, the target is locked.

- Point to something or someone when holding the phone rather than just the phone.
- Turn your body if you can, turn to the target, or ask another spectator 'And what would you have choosen? I'll
show it to you in 1st! ' , to save time if needed...
- Ask if the person wants to change their mind, you can change the out as long as you don’t flip the phone.
- For your first attempts, you can perform a visual check, switching the phone to you to check, in case of error put
the phone flat again to maneuver the target.
- If the spectator faces the phone, he can flip it himself.

Go back to the whole photo by double clicking on the screen.

You can restart the effect on the same photo immediately! Just flip the phone flat in front of you.

TO GET OUT OF THE EFFECT, MAKE A LONG PRESS AT THE BOTTOM LEFT!

To practice, hold the phone above your head, to see how the selection moves.
You can parameter the vibration and amplitude of the Zoom in the SETTING menu.
Best Learning Routine: 5 Objects
Ask 2 people to line up 5 personal items on a table. Take a photo with your phone. Show the photo and then edit it
with the Target app, using ‘TARGET from Gallery’ menu.

- I lightly retouch the photo, close your eyes and imagine that I surround one of these objects in the photo. What
object are you thinking of?

Rotate the phone, pointing to the chosen object. Flip, reveal!

Repeat the routine, reissue the photo in Target.

- Sir, it's different. I'm going to ask you to take one of these objects instinctively...Go! … Do you want to change
and take another one? I knew you wouldn't change your mind, I had surrounded...

Add drama : _ you can keep my phone if I fail!

This second phase makes the photo profitable and removes the possibility of 'voice control'.

Indeed teenagers can suspect: the possibility of a voice recognition application! So, if you don't name the target, it's
better.

(This simple routine works great with kids and with the zoom option too!)

TOP Ice-Breaker: Photo of the spectators!

A perfect routine to approach a group without presenting yourself as a mentalist and lowering their guard... People
like to be photographed, they will ask for it to be sent, and you will get contacts!

Claim that the organization commissioned you to take pictures, and make it into one of a small group, show it and
then pretend to edit the photo. (if there are only 4 persons, take a selfie together with them in order to have 5
objects on the photo!) while preparing your outs on target ask:

- In a moment, I'm going to ask you a question, you're going to vote, and nominate yourself or someone...
among you, who is smart and quick-witted?!

Smiles guarantees! In a funny way, one will designate himself or will be designated... after an enough time for you
to add:

- Quick-witted but not very fast... I don't know you guys, but I knew already it would be you! Besides, I had
zoomed in on you from the beginning!
- I guessed what you were going to choose, now it's up to you to guess what I will choose. I will annotate the
photo again, close your eyes. I think of a person in this photo, as you are lively and intuitive, you will now
designate me who you think I am thinking of... It can be you, or another, I just give you a clue it's someone
who keeps secrets...
- This gentleman? That's what I had chosen! you really have a lot of intuition, Bravo!

The voting game is a lot of fun and creates a real good time and allows you to connect people. Create the groups!
Present this as a game.

Depending on the group, vary the questions: Who is the most courageous/seductive/generous/lazy? Who hides the
heaviest secret?

If there is a groupe of more than 5 people:


Keep some people out of the photo (you want them to be referees in case of a tie).

OR Add a bit of equivoque, and select the girls on the photo.

Ask them : Who is more intuitive, men or women?

If the majority answer is 'women': - Very well, gentlemen you will vote, and tell me which one of these women has
the most intuition?

If not: -Very well gentlemen you have intuition, we will see this! I surrounded one of these ladies, you must guess
which one!

My favorite for one people: FingersPalmReading!


A simple, direct and very playful routine, with a slight equivoque.

- To guess the future, we can read the lines of the hand, Sir stretch out your 2 hands in front of you, I will take a
photo... Rest your hands. See if I zoom in on this photo, this line there, it shows that you are.... very gullible!
I do not know anything about palm reading! I do not know how to read the future, but to provoke it!
I will edit in the photo. And I would like you to hold them up and keep one closed, we will select a finger... Among
those you have chosen to tender, you will fold 3 please... Ok, you have 2 fingers outstretched... Drop into one!
So, you chose to keep this finger, on this hand, as I had indicated in this photo...TADAAAMMM

Method: Take a picture of the 10 fingers, prepare Target on the 5 fingers of the right hand.
When the person repositions himself with a closed hand, adapt the text:

If the right hand is open, ask him to close a few fingers, he chose to keep a finger up!

If the left hand is open, ask him to hold up a few fingers of the right hand, he chose to keep a finger closed!

In any case you will reveal that you had planned it and that it is indeed the finger surrounded in the photo.
Multi-OUT: PHOTO prepared!
Target can serve as a multiple-out for any routine. Just prepare the photo and leave your phone on the table, and
then draw attention to it!

All that remains is to direct the person on 5 options. ESP cards of course, fingers, vowels...

Example: Use a marked deck. Force 5 cards (of which you took a photo before set into TARGET, Zoom mode), ask the
person to look at these first 5 cards, and put one in front of him face down... Flip the phone over by zooming in on
the chosen map. Flip their card, Tadaaammm!

Another example: Force the series How I Met Your Mother, then add, 'before showing you my prediction, I would like
to know who is your favorite character? ' then reveal the series and the character surrounded!

BETTER WITH A PHOTO OF THE DAY:


Prepare a photo of the place where you are, on which there are 5 elements. The routine will be more personalized
and impromptu!

Spot 5 paintings on the wall, 5 beer drawers, 5 people at a table, 5 decorative objects, etc.

Bring the person on this choice.

Look at the people: 5 tattoos on an arm, 5 letters on a T-shirt...


EXEMPLE: THE MENU (Wedding!)
Take a picture of the menu of the mariage, place the 5
rounds on the 5 dishes.

Then ask someone to run their finger over each line


and stop whenever they want. This will be the line
circled in the photo.

Amplification effect: take a picture of the menu, but


surround only 5 ingredients of the same line!

Force the line with equivoque, ask to choose an


ingredient in it, during the revelation we will see an
ingredient surrounded among all the lines, amplifying
the effect a lot!

The effect also works with the menu of a restaurant,


in pro or casual, besides I gladly say that I have a game
with a friend he sends me a photo of the menu and I
have to guess what he will take ...

BANK NITE:
If you want people to pay attention: Take a photo of the 5 bills, place your phone on top…

- here is the game, in a moment, you will choose one of the 5 bills… If it is the one I predicted on the photo, I keep all
the bills! if NOT, you won the bill you chose!

The handling is very easy, here, I will put the phone on the chosen billet to ‘set’ the choice (I rotate it by doing that!)
EQUIVOQUES !!!

Target blends perfectly with equivoque, indeed the process of final free choice invalidates the possibility of
equivoque at the beginning of the routine AND the speech remains coherent.

As soon as we have 5 identifiable targets in a photo, the equivocation makes it possible to double the number of
outs or even more. Another example:

In this photo I select in Target the 'non-fragile' objects as target.

- Sir, we will choose an object by elimination, do you want the brittle objects or the solids?

- Brittle!

- So, you have all the glasses, the bottle, the plate, the flower pot... I still have the solides: knife, fork, towel,
salt, pepper. You can also take the ones you like but leave one object for me ...

OR

- Solid!
- So, you take among these objects a knife, a fork, a towel, a salt shaker and a pepper tree, and choose to give
ONE to madame...

Matchmaker (Tinder):
In a fairly large place, take a picture of a table of 5 girls... Later show this picture to a group of boys and ask one of
them to choose the one he prefers. Reveal the photo, you knew it! Then take a picture of the boys, and perform the
routine to the girls … conviviality assured.

Which hand:
Take a photo of 5 open hands. One closes his eyes, the others pass an object from hand to hand until he stops them.
You reveal the photo: the corresponding hand is surrounded.

Using a magnetic coin and a detector, do the same routine but hands closed, detect the position of the coin and
reveal the photo BEFORE opening hands.
CREDITS :

A big thank you to all the magicians who came before us, they inspired us our practices, but above all :

The idea of placing a selection round on a photo came from Jean-Manuel Cervier.

Using the zoom function comes from Pierre Onfroy.

Selecting according to the phone’s position comes from Greg Rostami's (different handling)

Equivoque would have been invented by Jesus C.

(The first 2 will be rewarded. )
