One of the best tricks

I’m a pro, and this trick always works! The butterfly is worth the extra $$ for little girls. Next money I ever spent.

Response from developer

Try clicking “Restore In App Purchase” at the bottom of Magic Spider Settings. You probably didn’t wait long enough for the purchase to complete.

FAQ

What does the Magic Spider app do?

The Magic Spider app uses augmented reality to simulate a realistic spider or cockroach crawling on a spectator's hand. It's designed as a magic trick or prank to create startling reactions. The app also includes interactive features like vibration and the ability to 'scratch' the spider.

How does the Magic Spider app work?

The app works by merging computer-generated graphics with real-life objects. You take a photo of the spectator's palm, place the phone on their hand, and the animated insect appears on the screen. Users can then interact with the animation, and the effect is completed by making the spectator believe the insect is on their actual hand.

Is the Magic Spider app free to use?

The base Magic Spider app is free to download and includes a spider and cockroach animation. However, additional effects like the Magic Butterfly are available as in-app purchases, which also unlock the custom finger feature.

What do I need to perform the Magic Spider trick?

To perform the Magic Spider trick effectively, you will need a physical plastic spider or cockroach and adhesive dots to secretly place on the spectator's hand before using the app. These supplies can often be found locally or purchased from the app developer's website.

What are the use cases for the Magic Spider app?

The primary use case is for performing magic tricks or pranks on friends, family, or spectators, especially those who are afraid of spiders or insects. It's also used by amateur magicians to create surprising and memorable illusions. The Magic Butterfly effect offers a less scary, more beautiful illusion for different audiences.
