My Pet Boris app is the scariest app for the iPhone. Inspired by Jim Paces magic trick "The Web" where a spider magically appears on the back of your spectators hand. Bound to get amazing reactions.

The app uses the idea of "Augmented Reality" merging real life objects with computer generated graphics to create a truly frightening effect.


THE MAGIC SPIDER EFFFECT
You take a photo of the spectators palm (secretly loading a plastic spider on the back of their hand) and place the phone on their palm to hold.

Your Pet Boris - an Australian Red back spider (black widow) creeps onto the screen and they can feel the vibrations as it walks. You can tap the screen and even slide your finger into the animation to scratch the spiders back. Boris walks off the screen.

You tell them that the phone has special sensors that when you wave your hand over the screen it makes the spider come back. He does.

You get them to wave their hand over the phone.
It is just then that they glimpse a realistic spider clinging to the back of their hand and they FREAK OUT!!

Bound to get BIG reactions.

Finger tone and size can be set to suit your own or you can import an image of your own finger.

Start-up screen can be customised to suit your performance style. An actual photo of their hand, solid white or any image from your library can be used as a background.

NOTE: Requires a plastic spider or cockroach and adhesive dots to perform. You should be able to find these locally or you can purchase from our website.

THE MAGIC COCKROACH
The app also comes with a cockroach animation for those who think they are scarier than spiders.


THE MAGIC BUTTERFLY EFFECT - IN-APP PURCHASE - (for the Professional Magician)

The Magic Butterfly is an additional effect within the Magic Spider – My Pet Boris App.

It is enabled as an “in app purchase” for around US$2.99 depending on your local currency. The custom finger feature is also unlocked when you purchase the butterfly effect.

This is a perfect routine for those times when you want to perform a beautiful effect for a little girl or woman, leaving her with a magical gift at the end. You will get similarly strong reactions to the Magic Spider effect without the scare factor.

PRESENTATION:
The magician simulates a grand illusion in the palm of the spectator’s hand. A tiny foil covered “Magical Egg” is placed in the palm of the spectator’s hand and then photographed. The phone is placed on their hand.

The egg transforms into a Chrysalis and then into a butterfly. The magician’s finger is seen to tickle the virtual butterfly on screen which then flies away.
Using a magical gesture the magician brings the butterfly back briefly before it flies off again.

The spectator is asked to try and make it return. When they try, they find a matching butterfly (in an impossible location) on the back of their hand. The original foil egg has vanished.

THE CARD REVELATION EFFECT - IN-APP PURCHASE - (for the Professional Magician)

The Magic Spider effect with the addition of a torn card corner revelation as a finale.

Pros and cons of Magic Spider - My Pet Boris app for iPhone and iPad

Magic Spider - My Pet Boris app good for

Everyone, lets think logically here: how could an iPhone make a spider appear on the back of someones hand? Answer: it cant. This app was (and still is) intended for magicians/magic enthusiasts... The props required to perform the effect are owned by most magicians because of an old card trick on the market, however you have the ability to purchase the props within the app... Anyways, unless the app keeps crashing when you try to open it, dont leave bad reviews just because you dont have everything available!
Wow ! The web was already brilliant, but that version gives it a modern day twist. And its no more a card trick. I highly recommend it to any worker !
Like with all magic My Pet Boris requires great performance and a couple slights of hand and iPhone to really make it work. I am am not a pro but am still deeply enjoying the practice on family, and soon will be sharing with random folks as I ask "Hey have you seen a cool Apps lately?" followed by "Would you like to see a fun augmented reality App?"
I am a professional magician. I would like to say, that after 30 years in the business, Ive seen it all.I have spent hours and hours learning manipulation, and illusions, only to see them garner moderate appreciation. What has always amazed ME, was that a simple illusion could sometimes evoke incredible responses in people! This is that kind of trick. I will get so much mileage from this illusion, and will be using it for years to come. That is because I am a pro. I know what will work and what will not work. This works. Best $2.99 I have ever spent on a trick. I paid the extra 2.99 for the butterfly. Why? Because i am a pro. I know that if I did Boris with a little girl, it would not be very nice. But she would love the butterfly. I am telling you the truth….this is the finest piece of work I have seen in a very long time. No one has accomplished designing an app for the iPhone to be used in professional magic….until now. Well done! I am telling all my friends about this. Well…maybe not the ones I want to scare first! THANK YOU IAN!!!!! Ps: the update is incredible!
This app is horrible.. Dont read the review below its probably the owner of the game .. Im telling u its bad. I wanted to rate this with a 1 star but it didnt allow me .. Only allows 5 stars.
Works well, just make sure your camera is turned on in privacy settings set to magic spider

Some bad moments

Finally here for the iphone! I have been wanting this one for awhile and its definitely worth it!
Takes a few minutes to practice and have a astonishing effect.
Ian was awesome with the customer service. This app is too much fun to use. Get it right away.
I love this App!!! As a professional performer I do not include it in my set because the reaction is over the top and I often feel bad startling a spectator to that extent. However, in the proper setting this is one of the funnest effects I have ever performed. The reactions are priceless and highlight reel worthy!!!
Didnt mention that you need a physical spider or roach to stick to their hand
If your looking for something that people will talk about. This app is the one.
