Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could pull items out of your phone’s screen and make them appear in your hand? That type of technology might never be possible and yet, it looked like it was available now thanks to a magician’s trick on the America’s Got Talent (AGT) talent show. The name of this magician is Trigg Watson who worked in the tech industry before becoming a full-time magician.
He even showed videos of the AGT judges and applied his magic on them. With a clip showing model Heidi Klum dancing, Watson froze the video and using gestures, removed the sunglasses that Klum was wearing on the screen, put them in his hand, and then put them on his face. If Klum was in on this, you wouldn’t know from her reaction. With a video of Howie Mandel (another AGT judge) dancing, the magician removed Mandel’s glasses and replaced them with the specs that Watson had earlier lifted from Heidi Klum’s video.
Such capabilities are impossible of course, at least at the current time. Still, you might recall that back in 2011 some manufacturers released phones that used stereoscopic technology to show 3D images on handsets without the use of special 3D glasses. These phones, like the HTC Evo 3D and the LG Optimus 3D, ended up making some users nauseous and dizzy. We wouldn’t be surprised if some new technology comes along eventually to bring back glasses-free 3D to the mobile device industry.
