Hi again everyone, so sorry for being late, some of the files are gone and I need time to re-work out again.
Thanks guys. Rob, we are using only 1 frame for this. Let me explain the whole thing as short and as simple as I can (I hope).
First of all, the effect:
The magician introduces a small frame with the Pinnochio picture inside and explain the audience that the picture was cut from a story book and framed. The frame is a special frame which can detect truth or lie.
On the table, there are 8 cards with fruit pictures on it and all can be mixed / shuffled by the spec.
Magician runs the card one by one from the bottom of the pile to the top and whenever spec would like to stop, they can say it out loud. The spec. remembers the selection and shuffles it again. Then the magician ask question: “Is this your card ?” by showing card one by one, but whatever fruit card they see, they only may only say “YES” so the magician will not have any idea if the spec lie or not. But the frame will detect spec voice and do the task.
The magician takes the frame with the Pinnochio picture inside the frame and hold it in his hand and while doing this, the magician take the first card and ask the question. Once spec should shout “YES!”, the frame will know if the spec lie or not. If they lie, the Pinnochio`s nose will magically grow by itself until it stops to the correct card then the nose will magically shrink into the normal size as before. The spec must be very curious about the picture and the magician opens the frame but also other mystery happens, behind the picture, they can found the part of the picture that Pinnochio holds the fruit selected by the spec. Is it a coincidence? No…. it`s a miracle.
What you need :
>8 animation frame cards with fruits picture on it. The apple card can be marked by your own method so you can easily detect the position later on in the pile. I add dot with black market to mark the card. The apple card should be forced later on in the routine.
>The Pinnochio picture with the prediction (apple) behind it.
Setup:
>Put the Pinnochio picture into the frame, ensure the correct position and put inside the bag.
>Put also all 8 cards into the bag and you are ready to go.
Routine:
As described in the effect. Basically the method is simple. We need to force the apple card to the spec and control the card later on at the 3rd position from the top of the pile. I use the glide force for this routine. Why 3rd position? Well actually can be more than 3. I like to show the nose grows twice and at the 3rd time it will shrink again. I think this is maximum. So the question to the spec is actually fake, since we have already known the card selection and control it to the 3rd position. But somehow for the spec, they will think that the lie detector is really working. I use the handling which shown in the demo below (2nd handling start in 0:22)

I love the last part when we open the frame and show that in the story book Pinnochio really took the fruit selected by spec. ,in this case (apple). I think this will distract and lead spec to another mystery and they can also fully examine the picture and found nothing tricky.
Here (as attached) are printing materials you can use for the routine. Unfortunately you have to do the color print out on A4 paper, do the cut and paste job in order to transform it becoming cards. I laminated the cards so it becomes thicker, smooth and spreadable. It helps for the gliding process too. All graphics came from Mr. Google and I just made and editing works. Of course any cards can be used. You can use blank cards also with all names of fruit written on it.
In addition, I tried to design the back of the Pinnochio picture and thanks for the inspiration from Madison from his excellent presentation here:

This can be printed out 2 sided on A4 paper and cut out (hopefully there will be no size and color adjustment during the printing because the size should be exact) or we can only print out the back side only and paste it on the back of the Pinnochio pic. This is a little subtlety to convince the spec that the picture is really cut out from a story book. I think the apple prediction can become a good climax and help to take away the heat on the frame.
I`m writing too much already, I hope you enjoy the idea. Any other ideas are welcome of course.
Thank you !
Cheers,
Vic.
