Magician Marco Tempest calls himself a technoillusionist. That is because he uses technology and multimedia to create his magic displays.

From using computer monitors to cell phones, Marco Tempest is able to dazzle audiences with his technological illusions. His latest piece called Deceptions uses three [iPods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-classic-iphone-17-case) and an app called MultiVid, which he developed himself. In the amazing video, Tempest uses the three iPods and his magical touch to create flowing images that go through all three screens. Just by a slight touch, he transfers images and video from one [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-wallpapers) to the other, making it quite a mystery to watch. It is unsure if his touches actually transfer the image seen or if it's all just a video sequence, but that doesn't take away from how intriguing this video is.
