The app lets you do a very simple but effective magic trick to all your friends. How does it work? 1) Give the phone to your friend and ask him to choose a word. The app will then present 10 words, including the chosen one. 2) Ask your friend to read all the words out loud and you will always know which word he chose, without looking or touching the phone. 3) The app includes five different categories of 40 words each. In the app you will also find a quick guide to understand how the trick works, as well as a practice mode. For now the app is available in English and Italian, but if you want you can help me translating it in your language. This app is provided completely for free and is open source, you can find the source code on GitHub.
