Here Adam's full interview on Ringtone

Can this be done on any phone?
This can be done on any modern cell phone.

Do you need a phone to accomplish this?
You do not have to own a phone personally to do this trick... although I think it would be nice to have one to practice on. It is more effective to borrow a phone from your spectator.

How long is the set-up?
There's not a set-up... not in the sense that you are thinking. As long as you have the gimmick with you, you are ready to perform it.

How angle sensitive is it, if at all?
The angles are great on this one. 99%.

Easy to contain?
Very easy.

Can it be done without a gimmick?
No. Nor can you drive a car without the car.

Why change someones ringtone?
Why find someone's freely chosen card? Because you can.

Can I buy the gimmick anywhere?
The gimmick is manufactured by Ellusionist for the Ringtone effect and can only be found at Ellusionist.com.

Do I need to know the spectator?
You do not need to know the spectator.

Do I need to be able to touch their phone before the trick starts?
The routine requires you to touch their phone during the effect.  At no time do you go into their menu system or fiddle with the actual ringtones that are on their phone.

Difficultly level?
Medium difficulty. The  routine will take a little practice before you do it so that you are able to follow and perform the simple steps without really thinking about it. The routine is within everyone's skill level.

Why does this seem impossible?
Because it is! Not only are magicians asking this but every spectator asks it also.  Watch the teasers and trailer: all of that was filmed real time in front of real crowds with reactions that were captured on tape in the spur of the moment.  People LIVE on their cell phone, they really do.  So when you take what they LIVE with and do MAGIC with it, it strikes a chord to say the least.  People don’t live with – or ON – a deck of cards.  But chances are you probably already do card tricks.  Try taking their OWN cell phone and doing magic with it…  something like changing their ringtone.  Watch what happens.

Can you do more than the star spangled banner?
You can do any song you want. We are limited by copyright laws as to what we can put on the teasers/ trailers so we chose a song not limited by copyright in America.

How big is the gimmick?
The gimmick is small.

Are there any legal issues when you change someone's phone ringtones?
I can just imagine the spectator saying, "What!? I have the Backstreet Boys as my ringtone? I am SO going to sue you!!!" Once the trick is over... their phone returns to normal. So they have no proof for court!

Can they answer their phone when it rings?
The way the routine is structured, there would be no need for them to do that. I've never tried it but I think it is possible.

Do I have to subscribe to any service or anything?
You will not be required to subscribe to any service.

Does the phone light up when it rings like most do nowadays?
The phone lights up and the caller ID announces the number... everything is just as it should be.

Does the gimmick last forever or will owners need refills after a certain amount of uses?
It should last as long as your cell phone lasts. There is an electronic gimmick that will require batteries to be replaced every so often. Not expensive though. Just normal batteries you can get at WAL Mart, etc...

Are clothing requirements required?..like long sleeves etc...?
You can do it sleeveless and in shorts.

Do I have to force a song?
That’s one method of performing the routine and different superior forcing methods are taught and discussed  in the DVD.  If preferred, you absolutely DO NOT have to force the song which was proven when Adam performed on the street.  It’s more than amazing to walk up to someone and say, “OK, whatever your ringtone is on your phone, I’m going to change that right NOW to MC Hammer’s You Can’t Touch This.”.

Can I do more than one song?
Not really.  There would be a way to do it which you will realize when the package arrives, but it would take stepping away for a couple of minutes to reset in a certain manner.  We recommend simply buying a second gimmick so you will be ready to go with song #2 right then.

Ringtone DVD:

• 1 hour of effective video training from Adam Grace (creator of the smash hit, Frozen):
• All the nuances, ins and outs, and what if’s of performing of Ringtone
• Multiple street performances
• Multiple performance styles and handling of gimmick
• Superior song forcing techniques and psychology
• Gimmick setup and care
• Gimmick use and best handling

Gimmick:

• Specially designed, custom crafted for Ringtone
• Batteries included
• Can be used on any phone
• be used with any song
• Long lasting - will need to replace batteries after roughly 500-700 performances

It really is an easy effect to pull off and you really will be doing it all the time.

This gimmick was custom produced for the working magician. Everything is in exactly the right place and works perfectly to produce the effect. The gimmick was simplified so there would not be a lot of working parts, making it easy to use and perform with. It's small and easy to conceal also.

When Paul (Harris) was over at my place for the Ellusionist contest winners dinner I showed it to him and Tim Trono.  Paul LOVED it.  He thought it was an effect in a class by itself, totally unique, and WAY underpriced.  He thought it should be at minimum $75-$100.


Get it, put it into your show, you’ll love it.
