Earworm is a music prediction effect for professional performers. Here's what happens: - You ask a friend to take out their phone, mute the volume and open YouTube. - You then take your friend's phone and play a song, giving the phone back with its screen facing downwards. - Now you apparently mentally transmit the thought-of song to your friend. - Your friend names *any* song, turns the volume up on their phone and looks at the screen to hear and see that your prediction was correct... that exact song is playing on their phone! The entire effect happens on their phone. Earworm is built for real-world performance. It gives you multiple advanced input methods, flexible reveal options, and powerful integrations so you can adapt the routine to your style, language, and audience.
