Read full description

Magic Now is a performance toolkit for magicians, mentalists, and close-up performers who want to turn everyday phones into memorable live moments. The app includes practical phone-based magic routines designed for real performance settings: social gatherings, close-up shows, table work, casual meetings, and one-on-one mind-reading moments. Each routine focuses on what the audience experiences, not on complicated setup or technical explanations. Featured effects include: Object from Phone - make an image or object appear to break out from inside the phone. Instant Prediction - a familiar calculator becomes an interactive number miracle where the final result lands exactly where you planned. Perfect Prediction - reveal a thought-of number or playing card with a clean AnyCard-style finish. Unlock Revelation - turn a phone-unlock moment into a complete mind-reading experience. Baidu Prediction - perform a search prediction directly on the spectator's own phone. Add WeChat Friend - transform a simple social exchange into a surprising magical moment. Drawing Board Sense - let a spectator write or draw, then reveal the thought as if it came directly from their mind. Drawing Board Prophecy - a named card appears on a blank board with a simple hand-drawn look. Magic Now also includes a Teaching section for selected magic learning resources, plus an in-app Magic balance system for redeeming premium routines and tutorials. Designed for iPhone and built with a dark, performance-focused interface, Magic Now keeps setup separate from performance. The show pages are clean, minimal, and made to look natural in front of an audience. Magic Now is for entertainment, performance, and magic learning purposes.
