Take your mind reading to another level with Calculon! All your favorite calculator effects are now available on a borrowed phone with NO SETUP! One tap, and you are ready to perform! 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! This app requires a reliable internet connection to use all advertised features. The EULA is the Standard Apple Agreement and can be found at http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula
