--What the iPhone trick looks like--
A spectator cuts the deck of cards is cut into two piles and their place is marked by putting the second pile sideways across the first. You explain that magic is a dying art as modern technology is making sleight of hand obsolete. For instance your iPhone can determine which card they have cut to on its own. Demonstrate by peeling off their card while observing, "You could have cut the deck anywhere, but you picked this card."

Place their card face down in the middle of a table and use your iPhone to snap a picture of it from directly overhead (if you wish, have the spectator place their watch or jewelry beside the card to prove the picture wasn't taken in advance). Turn the phone directly towards the spectator to show the photo, "I know, you've seen camera phones before but watch what this one can do!" Begin slowly waving the phone in front of the spectator with the screen towards him, gradually increasing the speed of your shaking until the photo changes before their eyes to appear as if the card had been face up when you took the image! You look at the screen yourself and read the card, "Hmm... looks like you cut to the... Queen of Hearts." (or another card if that's what it shows) Gesture for the spectator to flip over the card as confirmation!

One of the only apps on the store that uses a method so clever that professional magicians from all over the world have performed with Magic Card-- but yet so simple that anyone can perform the trick on their first try.
