We are pleased that you are using our tonies app. Our App-Tonies are always hard at work for you. In this update, they have once again worked on improvements. If your mobile phone memory is full during a recording, you can now save your recording until then. We have also optimised some steps in the setup process of the Toniebox: The request for access rights has been corrected. WLAN names (SSIDs) can now also be entered manually. Occasionally, it can happen that the set up process was successful despite the code word "hedgehog". This is now displayed. Do you have questions or feedback? The Tonie customer service is there for you in your profile.

Turn a simple playing card into an unforgettable reveal. The Reverse Magic Trick is a live performance app designed for magicians, creators, and entertainers who want to blend real-world magic with modern technology and AI-powered image transformation. Using two connected devices — a PERFORMER and a HELPER — the app creates a synchronized illusion experience in real time. How It Works: 1. Pair two devices using a secure connection code. 2. Take a photo of someone holding a playing card. 3. The connected HELPER secretly selects the card details. 4. AI transforms the image behind the scenes. 5. The final reveal is instantly delivered back to the PERFORMER device and saved directly to the camera roll. The result feels impossible: - A photo taken moments earlier suddenly reveals the chosen card.
