WikiTest is a modern book test that uses a borrowed smartphone. “Marc's apps are unbelievable.” —David Blaine “The greatest app for magicians. It's incredible.” —Asi Wind - You ask a spectator to search for ANY object, person or place on Wikipedia on THEIR phone to bring up its article. - Whilst you look away, the spectator scrolls through the article and thinks of a random word on the page. - You then tell the spectator EXACTLY what object they're looking at, as well as what word they're merely thinking of on the page! The text (and of course their phone) can be thoroughly inspected after the routine with NOTHING to find! * Works with ANY borrowed modern smartphone, tablet or computer. * You NEVER touch their phone! * VERY easy to perform. * NO accomplice required. * NO memory work needed. * Works in English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Swedish, Brazilian Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish, Japanese, and Bahasa Indonesian with more languages added regularly. No other devices are needed to perform the effect (you only need your iPhone!) However, if you have one, WikiTest comes with a fully functional Apple Watch app. It also supports popular devices such as the PeekSmith and Oblivious Notifier. *** WikiTest was voted "Magic Trick Of The Year", and was performed on the TV special "Beyond Magic". WikiTest also integrates with many other apps, such as Earworm and Diverter!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: PeekSmith (BS Magic) at Free against WikiTest's $109.99. PeekSmith (BS Magic) also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). WikiTest's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WikiTest holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WikiTest has 375 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of WikiTest's written reviews are positive against 100% of PeekSmith (BS Magic)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WikiTest ships an update every 10 days, PeekSmith (BS Magic) every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
