My very own iPhone Magic App

I am very proud to have just released my very own magic trick for the iPhone called MagicThinkACard. It is a very simple app that anyone with an interest in magic can learn and perform. In fact most of my customers so far have been non-magicians though some of the magicians have liked it also. You basically show 3 playing card images on the screen. Flip them over. Ask the spectator to take the phone, go somewhere you cannot see and touch one card and remember it. They then flip the card back and hand you back the phone. You can immediately read their mind and tell them the card they are just thinking about. As they say - no mirrors, no magnets, just simple magic, once you know how :-)

You can buy this little App for $0.99 at the iTunes App Store and it runs on your iPad also:

Enjoy and if you buy it, please post some feedback on the iTunes App store.

iPhone magic becoming more advanced

So what if I want to do a card trick when I don't have a deck of cards? The answer is "use your iPhone". Hard to believe but true. I can actually show you a virtual deck of cards and shuffle it - looks very realistic with sound too :) I can finish this performance with an amazing prediction trick that you must see to believe. It is pretty cool if I may say so myself. I also found another great magic effect called Magic Wallet. If you ever see me - do ask me to perform these for you. I am sure you will enjoy the performance. I do not do these in my regular shows - they are better done one on one.

Speaking of shows I did several shows in January and February and they have gone very well. Do read reviews from my customers at:

If you are considering organizing a birthday party or an anniversary party or a block party, do think about having a magic show. It is great fun for all ages.

Happy New Year - 2012

Happy New Year to all my friends in magic. Whether you are a fellow magician or a past or future customer, I hope you have a great 2012 and enjoy a healthy and prosperous new year. As the year wrapped up, I had two magic shows on Dec. 30 and 31 and the shows went off very well. Both shows had a large holiday crowd and the shows were received very well.

As we head into 2012, I will be adding a couple of new magic effects into the show. So even if you have seen the show recently, there will be new things for you to enjoy. I hope you saw the recent tricks I have added with the iPhone - if not, do ask and I will show you. They are a lot of fun. I know last year, I was booked solid in January and February, so if you are thinking of having a show, do let me know as soon as possible. I do hope we get to meet at one of my magic shows in 2012.
