About
ShiftTrainer turns the complete shift process into a focused practice drill for magicians.
The app gives you a named card and a target position. Work from the card’s existing position, calculate the required shift, then identify the card at that shift position - the card you cut at.
PRACTICE WITHOUT PRESSURE
Practice is untimed and designed for learning. Correct answers advance automatically. When you miss, the problem stays visible while ShiftTrainer shows the correct cut card, card positions, and complete arithmetic.
Build a streak of consecutive correct answers and chase a personal best that stays saved on your device.
10-SHIFT CHALLENGE
Solve 10 shifts correctly as quickly as possible. The timer runs from the first problem through every mistake. Results include your total time, average time per shift, and errors. Your fastest total time is saved as your personal best.
ANSWER WITH THE CUT CARD
Choose the rank and suit in either order. Your answer submits automatically as soon as both are selected, reinforcing the operational answer you need in performance.
ShiftTrainer includes:
• Graphical playing-card prompts
• Positions from 1 to 52
• Clear teaching feedback
• Persistent Practice streak and Challenge personal bests
• A clean, distraction-free interface
• No accounts, advertising, analytics, or tracking
• No sounds or haptics
ShiftTrainer assumes you already have a way to identify a named card’s existing position. It does not teach a stack, memorized-deck system, or source handling.
Know the position. Train the shift.
