## What is Maxim magic?

"A lot of apps come and go with trends. Maxim lives on my homescreen. It's genius."
- Christian Grace

MAXIM is a covert app that instantly calculates and discreetly delivers to you the perfect hands-off reveal for any freely named card in a deck that's been mixed by the spectators.

Effect:
You hand the spectator a deck. (in any stack of your choice).

They "shuffle" the deck under the table or behind their back whilst freely naming any card. Let's say the name the "King of Diamonds".

They bring the deck out and immediately you know up to three different ways that they can reveal their own card. For example; They deal down to the exact date of the month and their card is exactly there!

All without any brain work, math, no nothing. Allowing you to be fully engaged in your performance.

Any random card at any arbitrary number is more impressive to magicians than laymen. But when the number has meaning, whether it's counting to their birthday, spelling the card's name or even counting to the exact date of the year, the boring old ACAAN takes on new life, feels more personal and more importantly more magical.

The beauty of maxim, unlike most other apps, is that your phone is used in a covert way, and to the spectator has nothing to do with the trick.

Easy to do. Perfect for beginners.
You do not need to know any stack. There is zero memory work. No mental math at all.
Works in any language and can be fully customized.
Works with any stack in the world. Including a visual stack editor.
Every reveal can be fully customized.
Multiple input options.
Multiple peek options including notifications.
Customizable spectator profiles to take MAXIM to miracle status.

MAXIM is an app that lives on your phone. With you everywhere you go. Ready to perform at a moment's notice anywhere, anytime.

Never before has it been so easy, to perform such unexplainable miracles.

With MAXIM, now you can.

### 1/5 — Used for stalking

*2025-11-07*

Terrible app!! Literally need to delete this app off App Store nobody under 18 should ever be able to use this app and need to provide proof of identity and should have to wait till developers approve access to create account this is literally black magic or witchcraft.

### 5/5 — Great app but!!!

*2024-06-04*

Love this app, great effect, but sometime the dynamic out for numbers are wrong, like “king eight” for 8 of clubs, this is weird as it has happen a number of time now. Another example was setting deck cutting on for mnemonica , chossing 2C and then 8C would give me “king two”  rather “club two”

Can we please get a fix for this, thanks

### 1/5 — Can’t purchase

*2024-05-19*

I downloaded both Cognito and Maxium. I purchased Cognito first and all went fine. When I opened Maxium, the purchase button was gone and all I can do is login. Then I get a license expired message with NO option to purchase.. What’s up with that??

### 5/5 — A winner

*2022-08-18*

Lloyd & Josh hit one out of the park with this one. Used in conjunction with Cognito it’s a killer routine.

### 1/5 — Lost customer

*2022-08-11*

I go to purchase the app, hit the button and then it doesn’t let me??? You lost a customer! Nice work!

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY!

*2022-08-09*

I purchased this thru Apple App Store for my iPhone for $35 Canadian dollars on August 8/22.
The app does not function for me on my phone.
Apple support recommended that I uninstall and reinstall the app.
Did that.  The reinstalled version also does not function but in different ways.  I have phoned Murphys Magic support line twice.  First time I was told to send an email to the app support team and so far I have received NO reply.  The second time I called I asked if I was the only idiot who could not get the app to work and was told no, they are getting “a lot” of calls.
So I am out of pocket $35 and have spent far too much time trying to get this to work.
My advice:  DO NOT BUY MAXIM AT THIS TIME!
