MagicWare is a must have app for magicians of all levels or magic collectors who want or need to be able to organize, track and search all of their tricks, props, supplies and equipment. The MagicWare app will become your single repository for all of that information you have lying around on post-it notes and note pads that you can't seem to find when you need it. Tricks: MagicWare provides an interface for creating and organizing your tricks. Trick data includes the trick name, what you paid, when you bought the trick, patter used, sleights and moves required, load items and supplies needed, and more. Routines: MagicWare provides an interface for creating, building and organizing your routines. This includes the tricks that make up the routine displayed in a sequence you define. This can be done for venues such as stage, parlor, close-up or walk-around, etc. Of course these venue categories are customizable. Want List: MagicWare also includes a Want List so you can keep track of the props, tricks, supplies and equipment you're looking for. Practice Timer: MagicWare also has a practice timer and practice log that is organized by trick, routine, sleight or move. Quotes: A robust interface for generating semi-customizable quotes is provided, as well as, an up-sell area for organizing items or add-ons for your show. Once set up, these can then be linked to your routines and are automatically made available when building a quote during a phone conversation with your potential client. Don’t leave money on the table! Much of the data may be entered using voice to text. A huge time saver when entering large blocks of text for patter or notes about a particular trick or routine. MagicWare is almost totally customizable to your particular needs and performance venue.. The information can be out-put to your printer or emailed in pdf format. With an intuitive design that is easy to master and excellent built-in help, you can be up and running in no time at all.

Introducing Bridge: a reliable tool to send, transform and receive data between your favourite magic apps. Want to use an impression pad to generate video reveals? Or how about being able to send to your printer app in the background? Imagine - a spectator writes any celebrity on an impression pad. Behind the scenes, Bridge connects this with a printer app, allowing you to reveal the celebrity's name printed in your pocket. Furthermore, Bridge also includes the same cutting-edge AI first introduced in our award-winning apps DFB X and WikiTest to transform your inputs before passing it on to your reveal. For example: - *Letters to number position in alphabet* - "marc" automatically becomes "13 1 18 3". - *Famous movie of celebrity* - gives the most famous movie starring the actor entered. - *Zip code lookup* - "10010" becomes "New York". - *Emojify* - turn text into emoji. - *Birthday of celebrity* - return the birthday of any famous person. ...or create your own and add any more you can think of! With Bridge AI, Bridge can take that celebrity input, find their most popular film, and pass that on to the printer app instead, printing the poster of that movie! Previously, if you wanted to share data between magic apps, other magic apps have been typically repurposed. But now, using the same, reliable technology that powers WikiTest, Bridge is the first app intentionally developed to share data between your favourite apps. Bridge uses other apps or Shortcuts to pass through data for inputs and reveals. As well as adding support into my own apps, developers of many third party apps either have or have said they will build in native support for Bridge, including PeekSmith, AWP Lumen, Glyphs, TAP - The Architect Of Predictions ...with many more to come. Bridge even includes its own custom Shortcut actions, accomplice mode, input and output APIs to link with other apps, a URL scheme, its own Peek Screen and more. Have one app send text to Bridge, and have another app poll Bridge to link them together. Simply copy your API URL into your favourite magic app to begin using Bridge. - Use Bridge with any existing or future magic app that supports sending or receiving text - Standardised input and output Web API for other apps - Works with iOS Shortcuts - send and push data to and from Bridge, and even change your Bridge AI prompt via Shortcuts - Integrated Peek Screen - Accomplice Web Control Mode - For most uses and integrations, the Bridge app doesn't even need to be open! Note that Bridge AI requires credits or you can use your own self-funded API key. Credits can be purchased in-app if desired. Note also that third party integration features are unlocked via the included one time in-app purchase.
