Tricks: MagicWare provides an interface for creating and organizing your tricks. Trick data includes the trick name, what you paid, when you bought the trick, patter used, sleights and moves required, load items and supplies needed, and more. Routines: MagicWare provides an interface for creating, building and organizing your routines. This includes the tricks that make up the routine displayed in a sequence you define. This can be done for venues such as stage, parlor, close-up or walk-around, etc. Of course these venue categories are customizable. Want List: MagicWare also includes a Want List so you can keep track of the props, tricks, supplies and equipment you're looking for. Practice Timer: MagicWare also has a practice timer and practice log that is organized by trick, routine, sleight or move. Quotes: A robust interface for generating semi-customizable quotes is provided, as well as, an up-sell area for organizing items or add-ons for your show. Once set up, these can then be linked to your routines and are automatically made available when building a quote during a phone conversation with your potential client. Don’t leave money on the table! Much of the data may be entered using voice to text. A huge time saver when entering large blocks of text for patter or notes about a particular trick or routine. MagicWare is almost totally customizable to your particular needs and performance venue.. The information can be out-put to your printer or emailed in pdf format.
