I say:

-This is one of the most impromptu to do ID routine with your Iphone,Itouch or Ipad. Let say your friend ask to do some trick and you forget to bring your own deck just use this application

-The trick definitely takes some practice, but its worth the work

-No forcing of cards or numbers

-This app got something like can't match with the choosen card sometimes

-Completely self contained. You just remember the key method to operate this application

I've got this app. It certainly looks good, I'll give them that. But I discovered a bug and contacted them to let them know. This was several months ago and they still haven't released an update to fix it. It's not a bug that will occur often, but when it does it will ruin the effect and make you look a bit silly. I guess they've made enough sales that they feel they can ignore customer feedback; can't say I'm too surprised to be honest.

If you like iOS ID effects, then check out Tenyo's Magic Shuffle. It doesn't look as fancy as E's offering, but at least it works. It's a great little app, the method is far easier to learn and it's a third of the price. A much better ID app if you ask me.

Why on earth would you do something with your iphone what you can do very easily with a deck of cards?

If you want to be able to do the ID impromptu, then just carry an ID around with you. It's even more impossible when you don't have iphone trickery involved

I agree.

I've bought every iphone trick app in the hope of finding a good one. They are all obvious cuing to me, apart from idoodle. Which is totally awesome. I've customised mine to fit my style and it's a slayer.

I actually love the Tenyo one. And I don't think the cueing is obvious if you only see it once. I've had some good reactions from it.

Same here. iDoodle is the best magic app on the market in my opinion. Its easy to use effective and gets good reactions and i recomend it to all magicians who like to do a bit of mind reading every now and again. :D

This app has way to many things to remember. Dont like it at all. If they made a way you could specify what card you want turnt over and force it to them it would be a lot easier for magician with memorys like sives(mee) lol. Dont like it. get it if you want honest opinion. :(

I have it, and I dont like it.

Magic apps are just puzzles, not magic per se.

Why just dont have a ID deck ?

Of all the encoding style apps I've tried I like this one the best.

Not needing to see the home screen first and only having to make two moves puts it above some others.

Still I used doodle more though.

I think I'm going to try combining this with an ID deck.

"Not only did you manage to turn over the imaginary card inside the phone look what's happened inside this card box that's been on display all the time."

I'm hoping this does the following in their head.

iPhone ID: "Hey that's cool, amazing stuff this technology, must be speech recognition or something."

then real ID: "bu**er me?!"
