Redirect vs Doodle Peek

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.

A magic app that masquerades as a doodle app. Method 1 Ask your spectator to draw anything or write down the name of a person that only they would know. Ask them to remember the imprint of what they have drawn or written, and then to delete that drawing. Then ask them to draw just a couple of lines from the previous drawing, or if you had asked them to write the name of a secret person, ask them to draw that person. Once they have done that, ask them to hand the phone to you so you can try to figure out from their second drawing what they originally thought of. As soon as you get the phone, you will instantly know what they had originally drawn, and you will be able to use your showmanship to read their mind by somehow deciphering their second drawing. You will receive amazing reactions from this routine. For instructions on how to perform this trick, tap the eraser button 5 times within 5 seconds. Method 2 Simply install the accompanying Apple Watch app after installing the iPhone app (if not installed by Apple at the same time automatically) and then open the Doodle Peek watch app. In your Settings >> Display & Brightness >> Wake Duration setting, keep the screen awake for 70 seconds as this will allow you to peek for longer while the spectator is drawing. Turn the watch inwards on your wrist and hold something like a leaflet in your hand which you can read. This will divert the attention away from the fact that you are looking at your watch. Ask the spectator to draw whatever they want and to make it clear. As they draw, it will appear on your watch app in real time. Keep the watch awake if you have to, by turning the crown. But once the drawing has been completed, cover the watch with your sleeve, or exit the app discreetly. Now play with your words and reveal what they drew without even staring at the phone. This is a stunning way of reading their mind! The name of this app (Doodle Peek) should give you an indication of the method, while the app you see on the home screen will be named Doodle Mania.
