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.

About

VirtuaDeck

Do you believe in coincidence or in destiny? This app isn’t a game. It’s an illusion. A single deck of cards lies on your screen, waiting silently. Each card is different. Each perfectly ordinary. Until one of them turns over… by itself. The Experience: The spectator is asked to simply name any card, truly any card. The spectator slowly spreads through the digital deck. One card, and only one, is reversed It’s the very card the spectator just named. No force. Any card. Only a moment of pure impossibility. The Concept: This app is designed for modern magicians a digital experiment exploring the line between randomness and intention, between technology and mystery. It recreates one of magic’s most iconic effects in a way that feels natural, elegant, and completely hands-off. Features: ▪ The Reversed Card Effect A single freely named card appears reversed in a full digital deck. No pre-show setup. No forcing. Only impact. ▪ Ultra-Realistic Deck Swipe, scroll, and explore the cards, each one unique, beautifully rendered, and responsive to touch. ▪ Fully Customizable Choose your back design, adjust reveal speed, enable or disable sound, personalize every performance. ▪ Guided Practice Mode Learn, rehearse, and perfect the timing before performing live, directly within the app. “Sometimes, the difference between chance and destiny is just one card turned the other way.”
