### 2/5 — Help

*2021-05-08*

Hello, I paid for the add-on, but it wasn't unlocked, what's the problem?

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2020-07-09, version 2.4*

Increíble

### 3/5 — Aggiornare !

*2020-06-14, version 2.4*

Non aggiornate più l’applicazione?

### 5/5 — One star reviews for this app are done by idiots! 😆

*2020-04-16, version 2.4*

This takes “The Web” into the 21st century!  I’ve done this for years and it never fails to generate the desired reaction!  This is even cheaper than “The Web.”  I love this effect!

### 5/5 — Dependable

*2020-02-22, version 2.4*

Never fails to deliver!

### 5/5 — One of the best

### 5/5 — Increíble

*2019-12-05, version 2.4*

### 5/5 — Fun app for anyone interested in magic

*2019-12-02, version 2.4*

A fun spider prank that is bound to get a great reaction. I always have it in my pocket with a plastic spider stuck to the back of my phone. Use it on people out having fun and you'll be the life of the party. 

Support is very responsive, so 
if you are unsure of how to use it or have any trouble, watch or read the instructions or contact them for help using the support button in the app or on the website. 

It works great on my iPhone11. You can resize the finger and card to suit the size of the screen.

### 4/5 — Great trick

*2019-11-06, version 2.4*

Love this trick! The only thing keeping it from getting 5 stars is that in order to create a finger that matches yours, you will have to pay an extra $3.00 for the ability to do it.

### 5/5 — Great app Ian

La magie est incroyable quand tout se passe dans la main du spectateur, cette application rassemble beaucoup de qualités c’est drôle amusant et surprenant, les gents se souviendront...

### 3/5 — Geht aber

*2018-10-19*

Nicht grade an aktuelle iPhones angepasst. Sieht auf dem iPhone X nicht so toll aus. 
Der Effekt grade mit dem Zubehör aus dem Zaubershop ist grade jetzt zu Halloween sehr sehr überzeugend.

**Developer response:** Please contact support on support@mypetboris.com and I can try to help you if you have any issues.

The latest version 2.4 is fully compatible with iPhone 4S through iPhone X, XS and XS Max.

### 5/5 — Extraordinaire 👏🏻👏🏿👏🏽

*2022-06-26*

C'est extraordinaire. 

J'utilise cette app depuis qu'elle existe et c'est vraiment un tour de magie excellent.

Bravissimo à l'inventeur ou l'auteur. 🙏🏿🙏🏼🙏❤️♥️❤️👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿🇫🇷🇸🇪

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2022-05-02, version 2.4*

This is used by professional entertainers all over the world but anyone can perform it! If you want to create gasps, laughs and be the talk of the party, buy this!

### 5/5 — Halloween

*2021-09-26, version 2.4*

Perfect for Halloween!  Excellent app with many options. I suggest upgrading to the pro version. 
Never fails to get a great reaction. But choose your victims carefully!

### 5/5 — As seen on TV

*2021-09-16, version 2.4*

I’ve performed this for Masters of Illusion and Don’t Blink. Fantastic bit of magic!  Highly recommend!  It takes Jim Pace’s “The Web” to a whole new level.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2020-11-06, version 2.4*

I love seeing people react to it. When you get in the app I highly recommend buying the extension for $3 it gives a magic effect to it when you do the card revolution instead of it just basically being a prank.
