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.

About

Rouge Pro

Read full description

Rouge Pro is the digital evolution of nail writing, one of mentalism’s most closely guarded techniques. The psychology at its core is simple and unassailable, and Rouge Pro applies it to the smartphone already in your pocket. In an innocent looking note-taking and drawing app, you sketch basic images, shapes or symbols for your participant to choose from. You explain that you will circle the one you believe they will choose. The prediction is made, and cannot be changed, or so it seems. Once your participant tells you their choice, Rouge Pro’s secret method allows you to alter the prediction invisibly, so that when you show them your screen, it looks as though you knew all along. Rouge Pro allows you to make text predictions too. For example, you write a list of all twelve star signs and explain that you will put an emoji next to the sign you believe your participant is. The prediction is made, and when they tell you their sign, you quietly shift the emoji’s position, landing it next to the correct one. Your participant does not see the process, only the result, which is always correct. As well as lists, Rouge Pro can change predictions in single lines of text. Instead of listing every star sign, you simply write one: the sign you believe is theirs. Your prediction is made, and by the time you are ready to show the screen, it appears correct. Rouge Pro also allows you to force words, items, names, places and more. List the items from one to six, or more if desired, and ask your participant to imagine rolling a die. Whatever number they say it landed on will match the item on your list that you wish to force, thanks to Rouge Pro’s secret method. Finally, Rouge Pro offers a peek feature, so your phone can be handed to a participant while they write something: a thought, a place, a date, a name, or anything else you choose. They then lock the device and hand it back to you. Without unlocking the phone, you know what was written. Multiple methods are included, with optional Flic button support for a totally hands-off process. This is not a note-taking app, drawing app or productivity tool, it is simply designed to look like one. Rouge Pro is a specialist performance instrument for magicians, mentalists and mystery performers. Built for impossible predictions. Designed to look ordinary. Made for workers. Please note: Rouge Pro is an entertainment app, and while designed to create the illusion of psychic ability, it cannot grant genuine psychic powers.
