Welcome to Redirect In magic there are so many magic apps that use web links, it can be quite difficult to have to remember them all. In 2021, Joshua Riley & Paul Longhurst released an app called Portal which allowed users to house links under one fake website, this was great but it meant it was another fake page that the spectator sees. This is why I created Redirect, this is a brand new app that allows you to create your own custom short url and this is one link to rule them all, forget having to remember any other link. With the power of Redirect & Shortcuts* you can have it setup to automatically set the correct redirect url based on what magic app you have open on your phone, it’s crazy right? It works with any web link that can be either scanned in via NFC or entered in manually and there will soon be an open API so that any developer can integrate directly into their magic apps Setup is very straightforward and should only take a few minutes at most, it’s simply set & forget, the app doesn’t need to be open at all, it’ll work all for you so you can focus on your presentation and gig * - This is available at launch but I'm hoping other magic app developers would directly integrate the open API into their apps so it can be fully automatic and much easier setting up.
