"Xeno is one of the most underrated magic apps out there. They go to a website on their phone, look at anything on the website, and you can tell them what they’re looking at. It’s just so direct and clean. And there’s no limit to the theme of the website and therefore the premise of the effect."
– The Jerx

### 5/5 — GONZO

*2025-06-19*

Outstanding!!!

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2025-06-11*

This is really good. I recommend it

### 1/5 — I Hope You Like Failing in Performance

*2024-11-27*

The sites look like they’re old MySpace pages. They’re so ugly and unrefined, and nothing like what you’d find on a modern webpage. It’s the equivalent of doing a book test with a new book you bought, and then bringing out an old dusty scroll.

The biggest problem, of course, are the tech issues. If you plan on using Xeno with Inertia, good luck with that. Not only is the process to set up the force hilariously lengthy to do—and has to be done in the middle of your performance—but then the force itself doesn’t even work. Sometimes it may land on your force item, most often it won’t. But what it WILL do every time is freak out and start flickering the page up and down as though the site is having a stroke. I’ve tested this many times across many people’s phones, both iPhone and Android. And it’s shockingly bad. Every. Time.

This is a stain on magic apps.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you’re struggling with the app. A lot of what you mention in this review sounds like an issue with understanding some of the process, which I’d be happy to assist with.

Regardless, I run a lot of support channels and am always approachable to help where necessary.

### 5/5 — Impromptu gem

*2023-02-13*

Well, I think this trick is a bit overpriced and although there are additional options available, at its simplest form this allows you to do an impromptu ESP or mind reading effect anywhere at any time just using your phone and the spectators phone.

### 5/5 — It’s too good to be true but it is

*2022-06-16*

There are several list a spectacular can scroll through on THEIR own phone and wherever they stop you will know where they stopped. It’s that clean

### 5/5 — This is not magic this is revolution

*2021-02-22*

If you want to make your reputation as mentalist, purchase this app, WikiTest and Earworm. The people will react like no app comparable

### 5/5 — One of the Best

*2020-11-14*

But everything Mars makes you won’t be disappointed.

### 5/5 — APPMOSTIST!

*2020-11-13*

This is the best app for mind reading I have (and I’ve bought a few!) ever bought. I used to think Inject 2 was good, XENO knocks it for six. So much easier to use. So many apps are Jack of all trades (no names, no pack drill) and master of none. Xeno is the maestro of one! Well done Marc!

### 3/5 — Great trick, poor pairing.

*2020-02-15*

Great idea, great trick, half the time my xeno app can’t seem to pair to the spectators phone. I do all the steps I should. But for some reason it’s not pairing half the time. if it was reliable. it would be 5 stars for me.

### 5/5 — Xeno

*2020-02-04*

Love it.  Working on some material to work with this app. Will look for more of Marc’s apps in the future
