MENDAX is a magic performance app, accessible to everyone, but with a powerful and surprising impact. It’s part of the hex16 series, the second and original chapter of an exclusive collection dedicated to digital magic. The magic with MENDAX is spontaneous and can be performed in various ways. One example? The spectator shuffles the deck and freely selects a card. They then set the phone down and it is not touched again. The magician asks the spectator a series of questions with two possible answers. For example, he might ask, "Is the card red or black?" If the answer is red, he could follow with, "Is it hearts or diamonds?" or ask, "Is it a face card or a number?" The spectator may choose to answer truthfully or lie, but the magician is able to determine the truth behind each response. In the end only one card remains and that is the card originally chosen by the spectator, MINDBLOWING! Key Features of MENDAX - The app doesn't connect to any device; you can even turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - Once the card is chosen, the phone is no longer touched - No accomplices and no forces involved - Easy to learn and ready to use - Can be repeated as many times as you like What are you waiting for? Become a mentalist magician today!
