Speaking of VHS tapes, I wonder if you could do a similar effect with with an old tape. Pull the tape out and have something come out with it… photo, bill, receipt… Not even sure if it would work, but something to think about.

@Steven – I know you’ve got Gemstones (thank you). Go to the Gemstones site: http://www.stonecoldmagic.com/gemstones and login. The password is on the insert in the DVD.

Anyway, check out the “Alternate Handling Ideas” Page, and you’ll find some great ideas from Wesley James, Joe Diamond and Liam Montier regarding Quasi Photo.

Very good points. I don’t think I would have any problems then. It has wonderful potential for cards or paper money.

@Steven – good question. I’ve never had a problem with it. It’s kind of like the VCR or Answering Machine. Most adults still know what it is. It’ll be a good 15 or so years before you start seeing people who say, “What’s a VCR.”

Think about the 8-track. people in their early twenties and younger don’t know what those are, but anyone older than that still does.

With the film roll, there are still plenty of people who develop their own film non-digital style. Eventually, I’ll change the patter to something about an old relic from a time capsule or something like that. Then I’ll hold it up and ask, “does anyone know what this is?”

Then maybe seven chocolate covered tuna steaks will will attack me for being so patronizing, but I think I made that last part up.

I really like the idea of Quasi-Photo but it seems kind of out dated with the onslaught of digital cameras. Have you encountered any type of issues with this?
