WiFLY™ – Tin Can Telephone for the 21st Century – Phil Ackerly

A great Comedy routine from Phil Ackerly!

A deck of blank cards is shown freely and placed inside one can. A card is selected and placed into the other can.

With a little magic—lights flash, a tone sounds, and a bit of “mumbo jumbo”—the magician removes the blank deck and spreads it.

One card appears in the center. It matches the selected card perfectly.

WHY WiFLY™ HITS HARD

Two spectators press the activation buttons, triggering a sequence of lights and sound in each can. The “signal” appears to travel from one can to the other. Each unit is built with a custom, user-programmable circuit board, allowing you to select LED color and tone to fit your presentation.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Each unit has been carefully handcrafted and tested to ensure reliable performance. Inside the box you’ll find everything you need to perform WiFLY™:

• (2) Small soup cans with string attached for the classic tin can telephone demonstration
• (2) Large tin can units, custom-designed with a tech-inspired look and antenna attachments—each with an integrated control board and activation switch
• Batteries
• Sponge “Bluetooth” tooth
• Standard Bicycle deck
• Blank-face/back Bicycle deck
• (2) Force cards and (2) blank rough/smooth cards
• Small screwdriver for setup and adjustments

INSTRUCTION & TRAINING

You’ll receive a downloadable PDF with full instructions, along with Phil’s complete routine to get you transmitting a playing card right away.

You’ll also receive access to an instructional video where Phil walks you through setup, performance, and additional tips.

MORE THAN A CARD ROUTINE

This is more than just a card effect—it’s a transposition.

You can adapt it to:

• A borrowed and signed bill
• A finger ring
• Other small personal objects

Mentalists will also find strong applications, using the cans to “transmit” thoughts across the airwaves.

BUILT-IN COMEDY

There’s comedy built right in with Phil’s creative “Bluetooth” gag.

If you own a hand sparker (think Funkenring), you can add a strong visual cap to the routine.

psst…

There is no actual wireless transmission—just clever thinking and solid method at work.  Let your imagination take it from there.
