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, Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish, Japanese, Indonesian, Hebrew, Russian, and Ukrainian, 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! WikiTest also has an optional Pro Tools package, giving: - Live Peek - see what is being typed in real-time - Image Peek - peek the article's image - Auto Translate - automatically translate all searches in any language to your native language - AutoPair - pair with your spectator automatically - Real Main Page - use the real main page in performance - QuickLink - pair immediately with a fast pairing method - Article Extract - see a short article extract from the searched article on both the Peek Screen and the Apple Watch app - NFC Support - Further app integrations ...and much, much more! ---- If choosing to subscribe, note: - Your Pro Tools payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. - You can cancel your subscription any time. - The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period by going to your iOS Account Settings after purchase. - The subscription price is currently $5.49 USD/month. - Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. - Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase. - Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription. - Terms of Use can be found here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ This app is for entertainment purposes only.
