Technology in magic

One thing that i notice when walking around is that more and more people are getting iphones and ipod touches. There are some great magic apps out there and i am going to tell you about some of my favorites. #1 ipredict+ this app is so amazing! the method behind it is so ingenious it even fools me sometimes. What is most amazing about this app is any card is named or chosen, the spectator actually uses their phones to either call or text a "psychic", finally the psychic replies with the name of their card. All of this happens on their phone! it is incredible. #2 ellusionist's invisible deck This app is literally an invisible deck on your phone! All of the magic happens in the spectators hand and with their movements! #3 Card Stab this app is a pretty interesting way of revealing a selected card. The spectator's card is "stabbed" by a knife on the phone. Not the best app but can still blow minds when performed right. #4 isensor this app is ok but i personally do not like it. The spectator chooses a symbol and then it appear on the phone. I hope this made you aware of some cool magic apps for you iphone or ipod touch (not sure if these apps are available on android)

Tip 9 the simplest yet most amazing

As a magician one thing that I have learned is that some of the simplest beginner tricks I own are also some of the most amazing. Now this is not always true but in some cases it is very evident which is better. The main way to fix this problem is to think about the effect created by the trick instead of the time and effort that you put into the trick. Think from a spectators point of view and give them a trick that they will NEVER forget.
