Should be updated to either show Dynamic Island, or nothing at all. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! The latest version of Rising Card fixes this problem, and works great for all iPhones that support iOS 18. Hope you enjoy. ### 3/5 — It’s not bad *2020-07-30* Only problem is it doesn’t actually mirror my phone because I have moved or removed most of the apps displayed and that’s a good sign to most people I know that something is up ### 5/5 — The best phone trick out there! *2019-04-14* I’ve purchased some phone tricks but none are quite like this. This is completely deceptive and it works every single time. The spectator has a completely free choice. The method involved is absolutely genius. If you’re going to purchase any kind of trick to do with your phone this is the only one you need. Don’t even think about it just get it. Best part is you always have something to show someone at anytime. ### 3/5 — 숫자 아이콘 연동 *2018-12-11* 숫자 아이콘을 숫자 안적혀 있은 화면의 아이콘도 숫자 입력할수 있게 연동 부탁드립니다 아이콘 숫자때문에 들키겠어요 ### 5/5 — Numbers for days *2018-12-07* Without fail I get a girls number. “If my phone can guess what card you are thinking of, you give me your number. Deal?” ### 5/5 — Update *2018-05-23* How do you use the magician guy instead of hand ### 5/5 — Magic at your Fingertips *2018-04-29* I’ve had this on my iPhone since this was first released years ago ... it’s always with you! If I’m not working, I’m not one of those dorks that walks around with a deck of cards in the pocket ... but I always got my iPhone! No other app comes close with its impact and simplicity. Do yourself a favor and add this to your repertoire ... it can be VERY strong! Highly Recommended! ### 5/5 — Still great even after all these years *2017-11-06* I still completely fool people with this trick. It works even better than it ever has. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2016-02-18, version 3.11* A great card trick. Easy to preform. I get the person to write their choice down rather than saying it, as most people think it's voice activated. Shown 100's of people this trick, fools most!! ### 4/5 — Very good *2016-02-13, version 3.11* The update made it a lot better as it only used to use ios 4,5 and 6 technology but now it's much better and will be showing this to many people. ### 5/5 — Slick *2016-01-13, version 3.11* Perfect, seamless, smart, easy to perform. Love it. ### 5/5 — Excellent Magic App *2015-09-13, version 3.11* I have been hesitant to combine tech with magic. A pro friend recommended this app and it's one of best investments I have made. Very reliable, easy to use and looks great. Using stack or glimpse, the card does not need to be named until it rises. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-05-08, version 3.11* This app is not a waist of money it is the best magic app ever I hope when you read this you get the app becouse I got so many if my friends allready and nun of them know the trick.its realy fun when you learn how to do it with real cards then when you ska kit their card comes up!👍to the peaple who made this ### 5/5 — A ne pas rater *2015-04-25* Quelques minutes pour la prise en main de cette application et peu d'imagination et l'on faire faire de beaux miracle. Pour ma part je les associer à divers tours de cartes et l'effet reste bluffant, on peut très vite changer la valeur des cartes et recommencer utiliser votre imagination et vous pourrez entrevoir ce que cette application peut réaliser comme miracle. Magicalement. ### 5/5 — Thanks for Updating *2015-04-13* This is an amazing trick. ### 5/5 — Very good update *2015-04-12, version 3.11* I haven't used the app in years since iOS 6. It's amazing since the new update! Cheap but worth it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad visuals for latest iPhone *2024-11-30* The apps main gimmick is not compatible with newer phones as the location of the notch has moved. The idea is sound and worthy of five stars but I have to give it one as it is unusable for me. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! The latest version of Rising Card fixes this problem, and works great for all iPhones that support iOS 18. Hope you enjoy. ### 1/5 — 使い方全くわからん *2017-04-08* 全然動かないし戻り方もわからないよ チュートリアルからすすまない ### 1/5 — 垃圾，坑钱的，大家别下载，没有教学，没有解锁，打开软件就动不了了 *2016-08-05* 垃圾，坑钱的，大家别下载，没有教学，没有解锁，打开软件就动不了了 ### 1/5 — 花了钱还是不能用 *2016-04-10* 这个意念升牌的软件花了18元还是不能玩，不是骗钱吗？软件打开后一动都动不了，还到百度里去查教程结过还是没动静！哎！ ### 1/5 — 快点更新吧 *2015-02-10* 这么好的软件就这样被放弃了，ios8看上去不伦不类，图标也无法自定义 ### 1/5 — Need IOS8 update *2014-12-03, version 2.5* Everyone realizes the background is not the same, please update for IOS8 ### 1/5 — No longer works *2014-11-06, version 2.5* Not working since IOS7 update! ### 1/5 — Fix Issues Please! *2014-06-12, version 2.5* I loved this app a year ago, I used it all the time, but after the IOS 7 update theory11 still has not changed the theme to the theme of ios7? If u could please fix this that would be awesome! ### 1/5 — Ok *2013-12-14, version 2.5* The trick is good but the app doesn't have an iOS 7 update this app needs one to make the trick look good ### 1/5 — Stupid Update *2013-09-18, version 2.5* I updated this app without using it for a while. Went to use it after a show. That Fabio/Vidal Sassoon and COMPLETELY GAY avatar that has replaced the hand is ridiculous. Made me look like some campy tool instead of a magician. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rising card trick *2026-02-16* Just bought this app and opened it . I was learning how to use it and it’s got stuck on the swipe left or right . Can’t do a thing with it. Very disappointing ### 5/5 — Just one slight Change *2025-01-24* Way to improve the illusion. Instead of having the Ace of Spades facing the camera, use a BOX of the cards you want to promote. The Illusion is great, except when someone picks the Ace of Spades. It's already right there and kind of spoils the illusion to see another Ace of Spades pop up when the Ace is already showing. If you could make the hand holding a box of cards-- the lid pops up and then the card rises, now that would be an illusion. The illusion is fabous. I have worked this into my routine and the audiences love it!!!! As a magician, I believe this little fix will make the illusion even more effective. Just some constructive criticism. The Magic of Ireland **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, Erie! If the spectator chooses the Ace of Spades, I like to ask for a SECOND card. Then you can do two reveals: the ace of spades, and the other randomly chosen card! ### 5/5 — Still love this reveal so much *2022-07-28* This has been a tried and true reveal for years, and still kills… would love if it were updated with some of the newer Theory11 decks!! ### 5/5 — Really clever *2020-04-20* Really easy to use, ingenious method ### 5/5 — simple enough but you’ll look brilliant! *2020-01-08* I hate anything complicated. But I hate when something looks too obvious. The average and above will love being dazzled by this. Those arrogant enough to think they know it all will love to dissect this. Don’t let them. It’s great. ### 5/5 — Top appli *2019-11-03* Facile à faire !!! Effet garanti!!! ### 5/5 — Great with one downside *2019-07-03* You cannot change the app icons, other than that it is a perfect app ### 5/5 — This is amazing *2019-05-28* The app rising card is very easy to use and great for people starting magic ### 5/5 — Fun, Easy & Amazing *2019-05-18* Rising Cards app is great mentalism trick that is easy to do, fun to perform and is always with you and ready to go. Great for the beginner or advanced magician. ### 5/5 — Pretty cool *2019-04-28* Better practice. Showed my fiancée and didn’t let the secret out. She thought it was voice activated so we wrote it down instead. Wide eyes. Lol. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
