My Pet Boris (the magic spider app) is the work of magician Ian Pidgeon from Sydney Australia. 

 

Most people I know, myself included freak out when they walk into a spider web so you can pretty much guarantee a reaction to this trick.

 

First of all I would like to credit Jim Pace's The Web from L&L Publishing as the inspiration for this effect. The Web can be purchased from your local magic dealer or online through L&L Publishing or most other Magic sites. L&L publishing own the rights to the original The Web effect and have authorized us to market this app. 

 

While The Web is a magic trick using cards, My Pet Boris has a totally different presentation and is intended more as a prank that anyone could use. 

 

It utilizes the smart phone as a familiar object that is endlessly fascinating to people instead of introducing it as a magic trick. The technology allows for video, animation and vibration that involves multiple senses and increased interest. People are always curious to see what new applications are being developed. This provides a powerful emotional hook.

The spider is an Australian Redback spider Latrodectus hasseltii a relative of the American Black Widow and are quite dangerous. He was released in my neighbor's garden after filming.
