With Santa’s Magic Detector, your phone’s camera can find Santa’s magic!!! When Santa visits, he leaves a little bit of his magic behind. With Santa’s Magic Detector you can search for Santa’s magic using your phone’s camera. When Santa’s magic is detected, you’ll hear jingle bells and see a Santa face! Two modes can be used. In normal mode, Santa’s Magic Detector finds even the smallest traces of magic every time it scans, perfect for younger users who just want to know Santa visited. In enhanced mode Santa’s Magic Detector will search for more concentrated magic and will only detect magic on special items that Santa has interacted with, such as gift tags and stationery from Santa’s workshop, or cookie plates or mugs left out for Santa. You can find a variety of items we’ve found that capture and hold Santa’s magic in concentrated amounts on our website at www.santasmagicthings.com. We find this mode more exciting for older searchers who want to know exactly what Santa has left from his workshop or touched on his visit (and who sometimes grow skeptical when magic is found every time). Younger users also love this mode to provide evidence that Santa has interacted with a specific item. It is always exciting when Santa’s magic is found!!!
