“Marc’s apps are unbelievable.” —David Blaine “That’s incredible!” —Asi Wind Diverter is an incredibly useful approach to the modern-day Mr. Wizard effect… and much more! Diverter lets you transmit a completely free selection to an accomplice while apparently dialling a random phone number. Your spectator can enter any number. Diverter actually calls your chosen accomplice while keeping the on-screen details consistent. Your accomplice secretly receives a free selection made by your spectator through Audio Peek or Web Peek, and can reveal it over the phone call. AutoCall With AutoCall, the spectator can dial the number and press the Call button themselves. Diverter places the genuine phone call without the magician needing to touch the phone, making the final moment feel clean, fair and even more impossible. MULTIPLE PEEK METHODS Audio Peek transmits information directly over the call. Web Peek gives your accomplice a private, automatically updating link showing the latest information. THE PERFECT WIKITEST INTEGRATION Imagine: your spectator looks something up on their phone. You dial a random number, and the person who answers reveals exactly what your spectator is thinking of! DFB LIST SUPPORT Any list you use with DFB is compatible with Diverter. Import a list and covertly select an item using inputs such as Gyro List: simply rotate the phone towards yourself to choose, or use Button T9 and more input methods. NO OTHER APPS NEEDED Built-in inputs include Card Clock Swipe and Gyro Input, which lets you secretly type and transmit any text. POWERFUL APP INTEGRATIONS Diverter integrates with Bridge, Inject, ISO, Earworm, iTHUMP TOXIC+, RainMan, WebFX and more. Use WebFX’s free covert inputs to transmit a playing card, receive information from Bridge, transmit an Inject search, or combine Diverter with your existing magic-app workflow. Diverter’s Open API and Clipboard support make it easy to receive information from other apps. BLUETOOTH DICE Diverter supports Kinetic Mental Dice and Spotted Dice. Your spectator can roll multiple dice (even rerolling during the call), and your accomplice automatically receives the latest values. Third-party apps and Bluetooth hardware are optional, sold separately and not required to use Diverter. INTERNATIONAL AND LANGUAGE SUPPORT Diverter supports custom telephone-number formats for any region. Text throughout the performance UI can be customised for your preferred language. REGULARLY UPDATED SINCE 2013 Diverter has been refined for more than a decade to become one of the most powerful, accurate and affordable apps of its kind. “A POWERFUL app that’s super EASY to use.
