On the left a woman holds cardboard wings in a plain car park, and on the right the finished photo looks like gallery art. The cheap setup beside the stunning result is the promise. You believe you could make this picture too.
How the packaging works
Title
The title stamps the format, five tricks, current and countable.
Thumbnail
The setup-and-result split shows the trick is cheap and the payoff is not.
Remix this
When you teach a visual trick, split the frame into plain setup and finished result. The duller the setup looks, the stronger the promise. Only use it when the result genuinely wows; a modest result kills the whole format.
The transferable lesson
Plain setup beside a stunning result sells learnability.
