ROUTER.
Read full descriptionHide full description
Router is a modern magic app that lets you enjoy spectacular phone performances anytime, anywhere. When spectators enter a phone number and press the call button themselves, the call connects in real time with no intervention from the magician. In that moment, the person on the other end can astonishingly reveal any information the audience has chosen—numbers, cards, drawings, and more. With infinite respect and gratitude to Marc Kerstein, creator of Diverter and originator of this effect, for granting permission to release this app.
