Effect

The Spectator's Phone Routine in Deqode allows a magician to predict any item, movie, song, or thought a spectator has by scanning a barcode or QR code. The spectator uses their own phone to scan the code, and the result matches the magician's prediction. For example, a spectator thinks of a movie, scans a QR code, and the magician reveals the exact title. The effect is clean, interactive, and leaves no suspicion on the spectator's device.
