Sleightbook

Sleightbook is a practice journal for magicians. It keeps your repertoire, your practice and your shows in one place, so you always know which routine is ready for an audience and which one still needs work. REPERTOIRE Add every routine you perform or are learning: cards, coins, mentalism, rope and silk, close-up objects and parlour pieces. Each routine moves through four stages: method, clean, patter and show-ready. Each routine is drawn as a playing card that becomes an ace when it is ready for the stage. Keep your own patter and notes with it, and list the props it needs. PRACTICE Pick a routine and start the stage clock. Count every clean run with one tap, choose what you are working on (handling, angles, pace, patter or a full run) and log the session with how clean it felt. A weekly chart and your practice streak show how steady you have been. MIRROR Film a run with the front camera while gold sightlines show where an audience sits, straight on and at 45 degrees to each side. Play the take back, pause where something flashes or drags, and leave a note at that exact second. Notes appear as marks on the timeline, so you can jump straight to them next time. SHOWS Build set lists in running order and see the total time on stage. Sleightbook gathers every prop the set needs into a packing list you can tick off before you leave. After the show, log the room, the audience size, the applause and one thing to fix. PROPS Keep track of decks, coins, ropes, silks and the rest by where they live: close-up case, jacket pockets, table drawer or stage trunk. Mark what is worn out and see at a glance what to replace before the next show.
