The Ultimate Digital Companion for the Modern Performer Digital Reveals is a high-end performance utility designed for professional magicians and serious hobbyists. Bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds with a suite of visual revelation engines that turn your iPhone into a powerful magical prop. TOUCH OR HANDS-FREE STEALTH OPERATION Perform your way. Trigger reveals with a simple tap on invisible screen zones, or go fully hands-free with deep Flic 2 Smart Button integration and generic Bluetooth volume remote support. Trigger reveals wirelessly from your pocket or a hidden prop when you want true hands-free freedom, or keep it simple with touch alone, the choice is yours every time you perform. 11 ELITE REVEAL ENGINES Standard Reveal: A crisp, high-fidelity digital revelation for quick, hard-hitting performance. Fade In: A playing card slowly materialises onto your phone screen. Scratch Card: Let your spectator "rub" away the screen to reveal their selection. Digital Invisible: From the mind of David Penn, an outstanding digital take on the real-world invisible deck, glitching dramatically into view before bringing the digital and real worlds together. With Glitch In Digi-Iniv Fade: As Above but with original Fade In back after request. Red Hot Digital: A take on the classic Red Hot Mama effect, using your phone to visibly change a card's back colour in the audience's hands. Colour Change: A smooth, instant colour wipe across the card back, triggered on your command. Glitch Reveal: A punchy digital tear across the whole screen, snapping clean to reveal the card in a fraction of a second. MF Auto & MF Control: Two takes on the classic Mercury Fold, automatic hands-off folding or performer-controlled staging, for any deck including your own. Voice Assistant: Let your phone tell you the card your spectator chose. PROFESSIONAL FEATURES Dim Mode: The screen fades to a low brightness like a phone about to lock, and wakes the instant you touch it, the perfect cover for a secret selection. Set List Mode: Pre-program up to 8 distinct effects for a fluid, multi-trick routine. Perform a complete set with nothing but your phone and a deck of cards. Stealth Input: Choose invisible screen zones, a Flic button, or hardware volume triggers for covert data entry, including a dedicated One-Hand mode for working entirely by thumb. Complete Customization: Upload your own backgrounds, client logos, or even your own deck's card backs (with dual custom slots) for high-impact corporate branding.
