But which are the BEST magic apps in 2026?

We give our ranking on a TON of magic apps, it’s well worth a watch.
In this blog post, you’ll find out!
- Inject 2.0 by Rostami Magic
- Wikitest by Marc Kerstein
- Unlocked by Gee Magic
- The Stranger by Jonathan Levit
- Steno
These apps are in no particular order, so make sure to give them all the time of day.
Before we dive into the list let me just share a little story with you…
Way back when, at a time when magic and fooling cute girls was all that was on my mind, my cousin and I attended a large charity event.
While we were sitting down and knitting hats for babies (I know, we’re good people) he handed me his calculator and told me to enter the pin of my phone and times it by something then subtract another number blah, blah, blah you get the point.
After a moment he took the calculator back and studied the number, I got distracted for a moment, probably by a girl I was utterly failing to charm and then he asked for my phone.
I laughed and handed it to him, after which he proceeded to login using a code that he never should have known.
I was shocked and begged him for the secret while he proceeded to perform the same trick on the girl sitting right beside me.
LONG story short… He got the girl while I was left with the sorry task of changing my phone password.
All of that is to just explain to you that when it comes to magic apps on the phone, I’m certainly somehow who’s been wowed by them in the past.
So let’s get into it!
Number Five Pick: Inject 2.0 by Greg Rostami
Platform: Android (and possibly iOS)
Price: Free to download, but in-app purchases can go up to $79.99
Our Rating: 4/5
Inject 2.0 is an awesome app that has a ton of uses!
I have to say that while I was writing this article I got a little distracted and went and played around with it for a while. It’s absolute coding genius and here’s just one of the effects to help you understand why I say that!
YOU: “May I please borrow your phone to do an image search”.
You borrow a phone, do a search on google and leave their phone face down on the table.
YOU: “Whisper ANY celebrity’s name in my ear”
SPECTATOR: “Angelina Jolie”.
YOU: “Take a look at your phone”.
You pick up their phone and slowly turn it towards them, showing them that you had searched for “Angelina Jolie”!
Another effect:
You open your phone and show them a picture of Houdini telling them that you will leave his picture on the table as a good luck charm for the duration of your magic.
Next, you have them think of ANY card in their head, they name it and you show them the picture of Houdini who is holding up a card (the front is not visible.)
You tell them he is holding their card ‘the five of clubs’ and they laugh (not very impressed.)
You tell them, no really he is, just zoom in on his eyes.
They zoom in and there in his eyes is their card the five of clubs!
Amazing, right?
So if you want it, go look up Inject 2.0!
Number 4 Pick: Wikitest
Platform: iOS (and possibly Android)
Price: £99.99 (Usually a one time purchase…)
Our Rating: 4.5/5
Ever seen the clip where Margot Robbie gets entirely freaked out by David Blaine? Well, I have a little secret for you…it wasn’t real magic.
Here’s the clip if you don’t know what I’m ranting on about:
Pretty incredible right? They seemed pretty mind blown, I mean I know I was, I had no idea how he did it whatsoever.
That was until I found out about a mobile magic app: Wikitest.
One quote I read said:
“It is perhaps the most amazing mentalism effect (described as “a modern book test that uses a borrowed smartphone”) that can be done with an iPhone that I have seen.”
Certainly, when you watch the video you can’t help but agree.
As this quote explains it builds upon an age-old magic trick where a spectator is given a book, next they pick a page and then a word apparently ‘at random’. Finally, by his magical powers, the performer is able to decipher exactly what word they picked!
Similarly with Wikitest:
YOU ask a spectator to search for an object or person on Wikipedia, which they do on THEIR phone.
WITHOUT LOOKING the spectator scrolls through the article and thinks of a random word on the page.
Next, you then tell the spectator EXACTLY what object they’re looking at, as well as what word they’ve been thinking of on the page!
Pretty crazy right? Well, it can be yours.
Number 3 Pick: Unlocked by Gee Magic
Platform: iOS (and possibly Android)
Price: £49.90
Our Rating: 5/5
Unlocked by Gee Magic is probably the best magic app of 2020! See for yourself with the video below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2507qEyUv18
The video I have to say is pretty self-explanatory, but in case you’re not a YouTube fan I’ll give you a brief overview of what the app does.
You hand over your phone and tell the spectator to enter in any random set of numbers, it doesn’t work the first time or the second or the third. But with one magic touch your phone is magically unlocked.
Next you proceed to tell the spectator random personal facts about themselves (no idea what that entails or means but, that’s what you do)
Finally as a grande finale! You ask them to take out their phone and then in one try you enter their pass code!
Pretty crazy right? Well try it out yourself!
Number 2 Pick: The Stranger by Jonathan Levit.
Platform: iOS (and possibly Android)
Price: $149.99
Our Rating: 5/5
The Stranger, by Jonathan Levit, is an iPhone app that allows you to perform a ‘hands-free’ miracle anytime, anywhere using just your phone.
Imagine this:
You ask your audience to name any card – and it really can be ANY card. You hand your phone to your audience, and ask them to type a RANDOM phone number into your phone. Again, this really is another free choice.
Then, they hit ‘call.’ A total stranger answers the phone, and you ask them to name a card. The stranger names a random card…and guess what?
It’s the EXACT same card your audience named.
That’s a powerful trick.

Number 1 Pick: Steno
Platform: iOS and Android
Price: $29.99
Our Rating: 5/5
You begin by telling your audience “As magicians, people often ask us to tell them what word they’re thinking of. Most magicians would say that’s far too hard…I’d say that’s far too easy.
See, you probably have 6,000 – 8,000 words in your head to choose from. I want to give you the chance to pick from 60,000 – 80,000 words instead—making my job 10x harder.”
You hand a spectator a pocket dictionary and invite another spectator to choose ANY page number for them to turn to. Once they’re there, another spectator chooses a number from 1 – 10. The first spectator, on a randomly chosen page, counts down to the word in that position and remembers it.
You make a prediction on your phone in under 5 seconds, without ever opening an app other than your real notes app, and even showing some of the other spectators your process.
They name their word, and it matches exactly what you predicted.
We’re not going to oversell it; we’re just going to tell you the hard facts…
- It’s easy to do (a 5-year-old could perform this!)
- It takes zero skill.
- Almost instant (get the word within seconds!)
- It works with multiple books (Alice in Wonderland, Oxford English Mini Dictionary, and Merriam-Webster’s Pocket Dictionary, plus more coming soon!)
- It’s ALWAYS ready to go – you set it up one time, and then it’s instantly ready whenever you need it.
- You only ever need to open the app once EVER (set-up process takes 2 minutes!)
- DON’T MISS THIS: You do not need to open the app to perform the reveal.
- Completely invisible (trust us, once you see how this works, you’ll agree!)
- Truly impromptu.
- You can make the reveal in your Notes app, messaging apps, web browsers…anything where you can make a prediction!
Steno is not:
- Voice-activated.
- A force.
- A gimmicked book (just normal dictionaries/a PDF)
- Wifi dependent.
As we said, it’s just a really solid piece of magic that is so easy to do that a 5-year-old could perform it, yet it gets incredible reactions.
Have a look for yourself…

Here are some ideas to get you thinking:
*Google Photos

*TikTok videos
*Google Maps destinations
*Instagram accounts
