Marco Tempest’s magic show uses iPods to deceive and delight

Marco Tempest calls himself a “technoillusionist” — he combines magic tricks with the technological artistry (and occasionally the black-turtlenecked panache) of Steve Jobs. We last saw him hacking through an augmented reality illusion ; this time he’s using three iPods to enable his trickery, as he offers a video essay on deception, lies, and magic. It’s sort of like his take on F For Fake , with more touchscreens: see him call out liars, declare himself an honest magician, and lift a smiley face out of the display and into real life, all in the video above.
