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.

Sleight is close-up magic for iPhone and Apple Watch: seven tricks that happen right in your spectator's hands. Sleight looks like an everyday app, so nobody suspects a thing, and the first time you open it, it shows you how to reach your tricks. SEVEN TRICKS โ€ข Doodle: scribble a "prediction" and ask them to name a number. Your scribble turns into their number, in handwriting, right in front of them. โ€ข Nine Cards: they touch one of nine cards while your back is turned. You name it anyway. Playing cards, ESP symbols, colours, emoji or words. โ€ข Calculator: everyone adds a number of their choice on an ordinary-looking calculator. The total is your prediction, even today's date. โ€ข Out of the Screen: photograph any object, and Sleight lifts it off the background, traces its outline and sizes it to the real thing. A coin, a playing card or your own keys slide across the screen, even over your own Home Screen, then leave the glass and land in your hand. โ€ข Mind Sketch: they draw anything, then wipe the page clean. You draw it too. โ€ข Telekinesis: a real compass on their phone finds north. Then the needle turns to follow your hand. โ€ข Lie Detector: a fingertip on the camera reads their live pulse, or they wear your Apple Watch. Ask your questions and watch the verdicts land. MADE FOR PERFORMING Every trick comes with an animated walkthrough and step-by-step instructions. Your tricks stay out of sight whenever you leave the app, and you can switch to a plain app icon. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything runs on your iPhone and Apple Watch, and nothing is sent to us. Camera, microphone and heart-rate readings are used live and never stored. On Apple Watch, the Lie Detector reads heart rate through HealthKit only while the trick runs, and nothing is saved to the Health app. WHAT YOU NEED iPhone with iOS 26. Doodle (numbers up to 32), Calculator, Out of the Screen and Nine Cards work on iPhone alone. Mind Sketch and Telekinesis need an Apple Watch with watchOS 26, the Lie Detector needs an Apple Watch or AirPods, and Doodle's numbers up to 99 need an Apple Watch. Doodle numbers 1โ€“4 are free. Unlock tricks one at a time, or get All Tricks, which includes tricks added in future updates. Sleight is for entertainment. Its pulse readings and "lie detection" are part of a magic trick, not medical or scientific measurements.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Sleight at daily against Vision's every 3 months. Vision's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
