Hey everyone,
I have what I believe to be a good idea for an iPhone magic effect. However, I possess none of the requisite programming knowledge to make it a reality. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or even in a direction?
Many thanks,
Adam

kinda tough to sell a trick as magical if it's using your phone in some obvious and contrived way rather than using their phone and a trick site on the web.

Seen the Penn and Teller app Mr T?
It's very magical.

Yes Damian and I also watched the video of its launch. IMHO those who use chat will ask "hey what the heck is this fake chat client" and those who don't will struggle as per the video. Then you get the nerds who will check what chat client it is.
Then you get the realists who want an equivalent for the windows and android operating systems.
Hey, can I borrow your phone? ummm no. Over to the next person ... Can I use your phone? um... heck no. It's got my contacts and financial information on it.
But sure it plays well at the bar or at magic conventions so that what counts for now.
The one that had me concerned was "That's okay just click me to their session I've already got a chat open."

I've tried it in the real world on friends and, to be honest, 90% of the time it slays. Because I actually DO know Teller, and many of my friends know this, it is believable he would do a trick with me via SMS. Also, my acting helps carry it. "Oh hang on, what time is it in Vegas now? Oh that's cool, he won't have started the show yet, let's try this..."
It does look and feel exactly like the real sms application. It's clever.
However, I really want to see an augmented reality app for it.
