App Description
Magicians already have a bunch of ways to peek or force a word:
From analogue methods like a Center Tear, to something more modern, such as WikiTest or DFB X.
But what magicians *don't* have are many interesting ways to reveal that word.
This is why I created Subliminal:
Subliminal uses AI generated imagery to reveal a spectator's thought, hidden in a photo that they were looking at *the entire time*!
** Here's an example of one effect possible with Subliminal:
- To begin, you show your spectator a photo on your phone.
- You zoom in on the photo, before leaving your phone on the table and you never touch it again.
- The spectator is asked to name a word.
- You then ask the spectator to zoom out of the image, where they now realise that the word they named has been seemingly hidden within the photo the entire time.
** Subliminal also works perfectly with your existing effects!
Let's say you've performed an effect (perhaps you’ve peeked a word) and have learned the spectator's thought-of word.
Rather than just telling your spectator their thought, Subliminal lets you reveal this thought creatively! It's perfect in conjunction with existing analogue and digital effects, from a Center Tear peek to DFB.
Features:
* Photo Grid
You show the spectator some photos in the Photos app on your phone. As you slowly zoom out, the photos turn into letters, which reveal the spectator's thought!
* Single Image Modes
Reveal the spectator's thought of word within a photo of dogs, windows on a street, the tops of mountains, and more!
* Stretched Images
Stretched image modes further disguise the reveal until the spectator looks at the screen at an angle, for a fun reveal.
* Upside down stretched images
Flip the phone upside down to see the hidden word.
** Multiple input methods are included, enabling multiple effects:
- Gyro input - for precision typing.
- Voice input - with voice peek.
- Earworm Notes - a realistic notes app input.
- Earworm Web Search - use covert web search input with Subliminal.
- WikiTest integration - have the spectator’s Wikipedia search automatically update the image.
- Bridge integration - for use with many other apps and AI text inputs.
- Open API - for third party integrations.
- URL triggers - use Shortcuts to change your iPhone's wallpaper, and more!
As well as native WikiTest, Earworm and Bridge integration, Subliminal also s
