Iconify Magic

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.
