This is the cleanest, simplest method ever devised and it's only available with Calculon! Know what numbers they are thinking of, what star sign their birthday is, what city they are from, and more using only THEIR phone! Plus, force number and magic effects not possible before with a calculator are now possible with Calculon! Any numbers that are typed into that calculator are immediately viewable on your iPhone or Apple Watch. Plus, you can set multiple force numbers and change them in performance, enable or disable the force anytime, and even set new force numbers with ease. All this without ever touching their phone! This app works in conjunction with Robert Ramirez's Expert Phone Technique, which allows numbers to appear, disappear, and change magically, all on the phone they hold in their hands. Numbers change with a shake of their phone, a wave over the screen, or with a snap of the fingers! Calculon also works with other magic apps and devices, including the Versa Remote, OmniSense, the PeekSmith v2 and v3 peek device, David Penn's Pi Revelations, and more! This app is part of the ThoughtCast suite of magic apps and services, and a ThoughtCast portal username and password is required to log in and use the app. This app is for entertainment purposes only and for use by magicians for magical performances only!

Sharpen your problem-solving skills and enhance logical thinking with our Abstract Reasoning IQ Test app! Featuring engaging puzzles, adaptive difficulty levels, and detailed explanations, this app helps you train your mind while having fun. Perfect for IQ test prep, job assessments, or personal brain training. An abstract reasoning test is an assessment that uses shapes and patterns to assess your problem-solving skills and ability to spot logical series. Abstract reasoning tests are non-verbal tests and so these tests will not require you to analyze verbal or numerical information in the questions and answers. This abstract reasoning app will help you better understand how aptitudes are measured. Many careers require a person of high logical ability and lateral intelligence making abstract reasoning tests fairly popular with employers. This app consists of total 40 multiple-choice questions. On each test you will get 20 random questions. You will be given 4 choices from which to select and complete the missing element. You can always use the bulb button (upper-right) to see the logic in case the question is too hard for you.
