This app is intended to be used by magicians. It is the perfect addition to my Vision app (which does a optical character recognition of playing cards, which are layed out in a spread. With this new app a wide variety of new things will be possible. The collection will increase by time. This app can also be used by an accomplice, since the data can be received from a webserver. So the magician secretly analyses the spread and the accomplice has all the necessary information within seconds - whilst being far away. Features: Stack Manager: You can define and store any stacks, you use. These can be accessed from all different functions of the app. Monitor: Allows you to monitor the extracted data, which was sent to a webserver. Show missing card: Can be used as a peek-device Some Tricks Auto Pilot Lets you create a sequence of tricks, which you can perform automated one after the other! The collection will be updated and increased constantly in hope, that this will become a new era in card magic.
