Enigma is your secret assistant to reading any thought of word from someone's mind. It's the first 'invisible app' where your spectator will not even realise your phone is being used for the effect, less suspect any kind of 'app' at work and yet…. it is doing almost all of the work for you. Imagine this… You ask your spectator to freely think of something and visualise it as a word. It could be an object, something found in nature, or even a place for example… Then, seemingly just by touching fingertips and directing the spectator to silently visualise the letters in their word, you are able to reveal their thought of word. Enigma is the perfect every day carry for magicians, mentalists or ANYONE that wants to pull out a jaw dropping party trick at a moments notice. Unlike many phone based magic tricks, Enigma is NOT presented as trick using your phone… It’s seems much more of a pure demonstration of mind reading between you and your audience. Enigma works in the background as a SECRET TOOL that does all the heavy lifting for you FAQ Q - Is Enigma a progressive anagram generator? A - No it’s not (In fact it has nothing to do with anagrams) Q - Is this an electronic game of 20 questions? A - No, nothing like that. The secret method mostly happens whilst the spectator is silent. Q - Can it be performed without an internet connection? A - Yes, Enigma can be performed without internet connection. Q - Is it something I could perform over Zoom? A - Yes, there are several presentations and systems that can work both live and online. Q - Is Enigma language dependant? A - Enigma is taught in English and the system works in multiple other languages (French, German, Italian and Spanish are being added in October 2023) - Enigma is brand new approach to mind reading - Free selection - No Force - Nothing written down - Instantly repeatable - No equivok or other cunning linguistics - 100% practical - Fun to perform - Easy to learn The method? Specifically – a ground-breaking new system designed to secretly identify ANY thought of word, backed up by an intuitive new app. Don’t take my word for it… “Enigma will change the landscape of mind reading forever” - Warren Thackeray “Enigma absolutely walloped me. Fantastic thinking and a killer effect.” - Andy Nyman “This isn't a game-changer. It's the end of the game. Christian fucking won." - Mark Elsdon “When Christian performed this for me I was completely fooled and it reminded me why I got into magic in the first place. Enigma is a masterpiece” Fraser Parker “This is as close to a miracle as I’ve ever seen. Wow… I’m so glad someone told me to come and see this” - Shawn Farquhar “Drawings weren’t safe from the prying eyes of the mentalist…now, with Enigma, neither are thoughts!” - Paul Brook “Christian performed this on me three times and it truly blew my mind. The thinking behind this is pure genius and the method is so easy to learn. 10/10” - Peter Nardi “Christian is one of my favourite creators and performers of all time. I got a random call, he asked me to think of any object and he nailed it! Mind = Blown. Really epic” - Peter Turner "ENIGMA is something truly paradigm shifting. Christian Grace might be my favourite magician. He understands how to create strong dramatic images, and conceal devastating methods within their contours. In ENIGMA, Christian takes the processes many of us fake, and transforms that aesthetic into the very method that facilitates real miracles. This devastated me when I first saw it, and with each subsequent performance, I’ve only been more delighted by Christian’s tireless drive to refinement and subtlety. ENIGMA is something truly paradigm shifting." - Ross Tayler

This is a truly amazing mind-reading app. It's the closest thing you can get to real mentalism.  Throughout most of the routine, the phone is not even used. It's only used at the end to display the image of what they thought of - on Google. Ask a spectator to think of any item/word within a specific category. You can name one of the categories listed on your app. Once they have thought of a word, go through the performance - which is to simply talk to the spectator and make him point to things in the air. Within a minute, you will be able to pull out your phone and show him what he had thought of, right on Google's own search engine. This mentalism trick is a watered-down version of Enigma by Christian Grace. If you want the bells and whistles, you should buy Enigma. All credit for the idea of this app goes to him. If you are happy with the main effect only, then you can use this app instead. The performance and reveal are the same as Enigma, but the app works in a different way. You can see how Christian performs this effect from his YouTube performance at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1-ImAan4kA The idea of this app was taken from Christian's Enigma app, but developed in a different way so as not to infringe upon his creation.
