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.

DAYZED - THE INSTANT DAY CALCULATOR Created by professional mentalist Paul Brook, Dayzed instantly calculates the day of the week for any spoken date. During performance, a spectator names any calendar date. The performer simply repeats that date into their own Apple Watch after starting a listening session. Dayzed instantly recognises the performer’s spoken date, calculates the correct day of the week, the iPhone then communicates the result through vibration, and displays it on the Apple Watch. Once activated, Dayzed can continue listening throughout your performance, allowing you to reveal multiple dates without stopping or restarting. It’s automatic, performance-focused, and designed to let you concentrate on your presentation. ------ SET IT AND FORGET IT Simply start listening and perform as you normally would. Dayzed works continuously throughout your performance, automatically recognising the performer’s spoken dates as they are repeated. Your iPhone can remain in your pocket, allowing you to focus entirely on your presentation while Dayzed quietly does the work. ------ BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE Dayzed is designed specifically for real-world performance. Choose how the app behaves with options including continuous listening, Blackout Mode, lock words, Apple Watch visual confirmation, and more.
