Clever practical effects make for reality-bending photos from a magician’s smartphone

In the words of Terry Pratchett, ‘It’s still magic even if you know how it’s done.’

That’s good to know, because for a recent assignment from, magician DYNAMO shows us how he used a Galaxy S7 and clever practical effects to create incredibly unique and unusual images.

Yes, the video is nothing more than an advert, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take away the clever use of props and illusions to use in our own work.

In the two minute video, we see DYNAMO using mirror, forced perspective and physical props to create reality-bending images with nothing more than a smartphone camera. It’s a great watch with a few ideas that might be fun to replicate in a more professional and higher-end setting such as a studio.
