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.

ICONIFY: the corporate magic app built to put your client's brand front and center. Finish your routine. Tell them there's one more surprise. They look at your phone, concentrating on their company logo. Suddenly the screen changes: familiar app icons fall, tumble, and reshuffle themselves, then glide together on their own to form your client's actual logo. One tap, and the screen opens straight to their website, their social media, or a personalised prediction. Their brand. Your story, Your reveal. The kind of moment people are still talking about weeks later. THE STORY There are countless magic apps on the market, but as working performers we kept overlooking the most important thing in the room: our client's brand. After talking it through with James Buchanan, developer of David Penn's acclaimed Digital Reveals, we built Iconify from the ground up around one idea: put the client's own identity at the centre of the effect. WHY ICONIFY - Beyond logos: reveal any photo, image, or forced prediction you choose, not just a company logo. - Genuinely modern visuals: icons fall, morph, and reassemble on their own, nothing about it looks like a slideshow. - Built for working pros: reliable, easy to perform, and designed for corporate magicians, trade show performers, and mentalists who want to command higher fees. Elevate your corporate act. Leave the kind of impression that outlasts the gig. Get Iconify today.
