To promote the Quebec City Magic Festival, a unique outdoor eye-tracking billboard was set up at a bus shelter. Unbeknownst to commuters, 'The Mind Reading Billboard' would use modern-day technology to identify the card they set their sights on, although the trick truly seemed magic with its startling degree of accuracy. As it's always better to show than to tell, the billboard provides just a taste of what event-goers can expect from the festival.
In the past, the Quebec City Magic Festival has set up a variety of fun billboard stunts, including entire outdoor ads that disappeared before the eyes of the public. While other mechanics have been used in the past, this cutting-edge billboard integrates a piece of technology that is likely to become the norm in the future of advertising.
