Predict ANY thing using ANY barcode or QR code. A world of limitless possibilities on your phone.
One of the modern masters of phone magic, David Jonathan, has teamed up with Kevin Aust for a remarkable new project that explores the barcode/QR code prediction plot to its absolute fullest. “Deqode” allows you to secretly “hack” any barcode or QR code in real time, giving you full control of what is revealed once it scans.
"Easy to set-up, practical to perform and stunning in effect. “Deqode” is clever, fooling and a perfect EDC." Mark Elsdon
“Deqode” works with any QR code or barcode. It could be a code on a menu, a poster on the street, or even one randomly generated on someone elses’ phone. No matter what the code is, you’ll always be in control of what it eventually reveals.
This is effortlessly easy-to-do mentalism and magic that lives right on your phone. And, unlike many other similar products, we’re happy to report it works on both iOS and Android. You don’t need any tricky magic apps either. It uses your real camera app and the reveals are made in real apps like your web browser, Spotify, IMDB and others.
The best part is “Deqode” can be set up in just a few minutes, even if you don’t consider yourself “tech savvy”. Once it’s set up, you’ll always be ready to blow minds.
"You feel like you've cheated when performing because it's so easy and yet you are doing absolute miracles. David has been leading the way when it comes to organic magic with a phone and he and Kevin have created the ultimate project that really is the final answer when it comes to this sort of magic. The routines are easy, commercial and very hard hitting. The barcode prediction where they think of any product is literally the holy grail and they have nailed it. Absolutely incredible and highly recommended!" Craig Petty
The base routine looks like this…
You show your participant a barcode/QR code and ask them to guess what item they think it’s from. They think of any item they want and then write it down on the back of a business card or even in your notes app. It really is a totally free choice.
Once they’ve locked in their choice, the barcode is scanned. Impossibly, it leads to a Google result in your web browser for the exact item they thought of. If you want, you can even have the item revealed in the real Amazon or Walmart apps.
You’re not limited to just barcodes though. “Deqode” also works with QR codes, expanding the possibilities immensely. This allows you to perform the Google search reveal with movies, bands, celebrities, or whatever you want in the base routine.
But that’s just the beginning…
In addition to the digital assets, you’re also going to receive a bunch of incredible, custom-crafted props that fit right in your wallet and allow you to perform tons of specially-designed routines combining QR/Barcodes and other real apps like:
- Predicting a movie in the IMDB app
- Revealing an artist in the Spotify app
- Perfectly guessing a grocery item or three-course meal
- Funny gags (like scanning a code on a Coke can, and revealing Pepsi’s website, etc.)
- Divining a randomly thought-of color
- And so much more!
For the card magic fans…
you’re not limited to mentalism either. “Deqode” can be used to perform one of the most commercial ACAAN effects you’ll ever see. Each set also comes with a special playing card that has a QR code secretly disguised within its design that, when scanned, reveals ANY freely named playing card.
Truly endless possibilities…
“Deqode” also integrates with popular magic apps on iOS like Hydra, Inject, Synergy and is also compatible with products from Audience Wonderland & Pitata, which further enhances the various effects. Not only that, you’ll also receive templates for creating your own effects, so it really does offer limitless potential.
In total, you’ll get more than a dozen ready-to-go, easy-to-do routines that you can perform anytime, anywhere.
