Magic Gaze

Think of one.
Don't tell me.

Magic Gaze is a mind-reading act that lives on a performer's phone. It needs no deck of cards. It works with 52 everyday things everyone knows: a teapot, an axe, a wine glass.

They drift like this in the app, only a little livelier. Tap one and the page tells you its name. The page does nothing cleverer than that.

Coming to the App Store and Google Play. No date yet.

What happens to you

  1. The app shows a cream sheet headed with date and time, a red signature in a box marked Sign here, and the buttons Clear and Seal it

    You sign first

    Before anything else you sign a sheet on the phone. The performer writes a prediction and seals it in an envelope, with wax. You have chosen nothing yet. Remember that.

  2. You say stop

    The performer scrolls through the pictures until you say stop. You think of one. You do not say it. You do not touch it. The phone stays in the performer's hand.

  3. The app shows one picture large, a CD, with its name under it

    You rub it free

    Now the phone is yours. One picture wears a shimmering coat. You rub the coat away with a finger, and under it is the one you thought of.

    Then again with eight pictures. Then with twelve.

  4. The opened sheet in the app: the time it was sealed, a red signature, and a rough black drawing of a CD

    You open the envelope

    The envelope from the start comes back, still sealed, with its time on it. You tear it open yourself. Inside is your signature, exactly where you put it, and your last picture, drawn big and rough.

    How is it done? I would love to tell you. I will not.

Choose your fate
