With this amazing magic trick, written by professional comedy magician Carl Andrews, you will amaze people every time you perform! This app is intended for entertainment purposes only and does not provide true prediction functionality. Someone gives you "Any" number between 1 -100 or tells you the amount of change in their pocket. The "Loose Change" App comes up with that exact number. Amazing! No voice activation is used, any number can be named, and it is easy to do! Press the start button. You can see and hear coins appearing and numbers flashing on the screen. Finally the screen will show the exact number selected by the spectator!

"A lot of apps come and go with trends. Maxim lives on my homescreen. It's genius." - Christian Grace MAXIM is a covert app that instantly calculates and discreetly delivers to you the perfect hands-off reveal for any freely named card in a deck that's been mixed by the spectators. Effect: You hand the spectator a deck. (in any stack of your choice). They "shuffle" the deck under the table or behind their back whilst freely naming any card. Let's say the name the "King of Diamonds". They bring the deck out and immediately you know up to three different ways that they can reveal their own card. For example; They deal down to the exact date of the month and their card is exactly there! All without any brain work, math, no nothing. Allowing you to be fully engaged in your performance. Any random card at any arbitrary number is more impressive to magicians than laymen. But when the number has meaning, whether it's counting to their birthday, spelling the card's name or even counting to the exact date of the year, the boring old ACAAN takes on new life, feels more personal and more importantly more magical. The beauty of maxim, unlike most other apps, is that your phone is used in a covert way, and to the spectator has nothing to do with the trick. Easy to do. Perfect for beginners. You do not need to know any stack. There is zero memory work. No mental math at all. Works in any language and can be fully customized. Works with any stack in the world. Including a visual stack editor. Every reveal can be fully customized. Multiple input options. Multiple peek options including notifications. Customizable spectator profiles to take MAXIM to miracle status. MAXIM is an app that lives on your phone. With you everywhere you go. Ready to perform at a moment's notice anywhere, anytime. Never before has it been so easy, to perform such unexplainable miracles. With MAXIM, now you can.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Maxim magic holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Maxim magic has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Loose Change Magic's written reviews are positive against 33% of Maxim magic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Loose Change Magic ships an update every 90 months, Maxim magic every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
