Hello my friend!
Magic apps are all the craze right now, and it’s no surprise why…
- They’re incredibly convenient ✔️
- They’re very interactive ✔️
- They’re an easy way to learn great magic ✔️
And much, much more! Seriously you’ve got everything to gain, and nothing to lose if you decide to invest your money into one of these apps.
But which are the BEST magic apps in 2023?
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
- Master Any Stack by Jacob Daniels
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 was life 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 amazing 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: Master Any Stack by Jacob Daniels
Platform: iOS and Android
Price: $39.99
Our Rating: 5/5!!!
Some will argue, but pretty much all top magicians agree that a ‘Stack’ is the most powerful tool in all of card magic.
There’s only one problem though…
Stack is notoriously hard to master and resources are few and far between.
How can YOU memorize a deck without forgetting the card’s positions after about five seconds?
Well, how do we enjoy anything these days?
We gamify it.
So I got ambitious, what if I could create an app?
The app would need to be a lot of things, but most of all, it would need to do everything below.
Imagine This!
- Within 1 hour you’re able to go through the stack from start to finish with relative ease (we showed how to do this LIVE using the ‘Babylon secret’).
- Practicing stack everyday is as easy as opening your email!
- You can learn any stack you want, with relative ease (no more silly questions about “which stack!?”)
- You have a tool that allows you to practice stack your way (complete customisation!)
- Stack mastery is not a chore – but a leisurely process that you hardly notice is happening!
- You have an easy application for studying your existing stack and making sure it’s always up to scratch! (the stack is a tool that must be properly maintained or it becomes dull very quickly…)
This app will give you the ability to learn stacked decks in a way you never could before by making the process more ‘fun’ than it is ‘work!’.
This all sounds a little to good to be true right?
Not this time!
Have a look for yourself…

How To Learn Magic Online in 2023:
What do all of us have on us at ALL TIMES? Our underwear? Nah. Our skin? Close, but no cigar.
Our phones!
I hope you didn’t say a deck of cards because unless you’re a super magic geek you just don’t have one on you! That or you wear really tight skinny jeans like me so you’re not always privy to that luxury.
So far in this post, we’ve recommended the best apps for learning magic!
But what are the best websites for learning magic?
That’s a good question.
It depends on what you’re looking for…
If you’re looking for a FREE resource then I recommend US.
We run the largest independent newsletter in magic, where we show magicians, like yourself, how to get the maximum results out of everything they do…
…Whether we’re pulling apart the science of creativity, brainstorming methods with world-class magicians, or discovering what card tricks look like in Vietnam, we’ll take you ‘behind the curtain’ with us.
To sign up, click below and enter your email:
But if you’re looking for a website that has…
- Personal mentorship ✔️
- Full courses ✔️
- Effects totaling $1000+ ✔️
- Mindset training ✔️
- A vibrant community ✔️
- And MUCH MORE! ✔️
…then I’ve found something even more special for you!
This membership is for people who want to give their best to magic, who care about the craft, and who are willing to be in it for the long run!
Who runs the show?
Three people who jumped on a call with a crazy idea…
They were:
- The Daily Magician (who run the largest independent newsletter in magic!)
- Steven Bridges (a famous YouTuber and lifelong performer!)
- Danny Goldsmith (the greatest coin magician alive!)
The idea was this – what if we came together, combined forces, and created the GREATEST magic membership ever?
Now after MONTHS of painstaking work: we think that we’ve done just that!
But this membership isn’t for everyone.
We want people who think like us and here’s why…
The content we’re giving you here is cutting edge.
Our best secrets.
Our best material.
So much of our energy goes to making this one of the most innovative communities in magic.
We don’t take that lightly, and we don’t want to give it out freely to people that simply misuse the membership.
You may have seen some magic sites market themselves as a ‘streaming service’.
There’s nothing wrong with that AT ALL, but we just want you to know – this isn’t that!
(but if that’s what you want, feel free to sign up for them!)
Here, we know our members by name. We call many of you friends. We don’t WANT to be a streaming service.
We want to carve out a corner of the magic space that’s completely safe and in line with how we believe magic should be – and we want you to be a part of it!
That being said, here are the three pillars that make up Magic Mastery…
(if any of them sound appealing to you, you can know for sure you’re the right fit for this membership!)
1. The Community
Our community features:
-2 weekly meetings that will happen WITHOUT fail (featuring anything from a casual jam to a lecture from Steven Bridge’s on gimmicked stage magic.)
–A secret Facebook page where you can make friends with like-minded magicians, share your discoveries, and get personal tutorship from some of the greatest magicians alive.
-Regular discounts on products from the biggest magic brands and independent artists (such as Vanishing Inc or Danny Goldsmith).
2. The Methods (Effects, Sleights, Routines and Courses!)
In terms of methods – you’re in for a treat!
Wherever you are in your magic journey we have a place for you!
We won’t just throw effects at you, but help you on your path.
From The Daily Magician (focused on the memorised deck – the greatest tool in card magic!)
Here’s just a small part of everything you’ll be getting from them…
- ‘The Babylon Secret’ (2-hour and 51-minute video course that will open a whole new world of magic, and make every effect you currently perform…instantly stronger!)
- A growing library of ORIGINAL memorised deck effects (such as a master class on A.C.A.A.N. and a course on weighing the cards!)
- Besides the memorised deck, a huge range of contributions from magicians such as Andrew Frost, Christian Grace, Ollie Mealing, and more…
And MUCH MORE!
From Steven Bridges (card, mentalism and coin routines that have been tried and tested on the streets, casinos and more!)
Here’s just a small part of everything you’ll be getting from them…
- Option 100 – Steven’s signature mentalism effect that leading UK mentalist, Ken Dyne said was, “… a brilliant, disarming and totally fair-looking selection method.”
- The Victory Shuffle – Steven’s best-selling release of all time. A false overhand shuffle that looks just like the real thing.
- The Overhand Shuffle Sleights Course – A full, half an hour course giving a deep dive on overhand shuffle sleights. (Including a tiny pinky adjustment that will help with almost every overhand shuffle sleight you use)
- Skip Track (a routine he kept hidden FOR YEARS, that magicians all over the world have started using as their killer opener!)
And MUCH MORE!
From Danny Goldsmith (everything you could need to pick up coin magic, or continue your advancement!)
Here’s just a small part of everything you’ll be getting from them…
- An exclusive beginner’s coin magic course (which he described as the SINGLE BEST WAY for any magician to start coin magic!)
- An exclusive advanced coin magic course (for coin magicians who want to take their work to the next level)
- Countless original moves and sleights such as the ‘M&M change’ a fun visual change that you can do with M&M’s, coins, and rings!
- Danny’s first-ever formal contributions to card magic (coming soon!)
And MUCH MORE!
* We know and ‘MUCH MORE’ is super overused in sales copy, but for real, there are around 100 total effects, routines, and sleights we left out of the bullets because it would take up WAY too much space.
You’ll just have to see for yourself on the inside!
3. The Mindset
As Dai Vernon said:
“Want to be an interesting magician? Become an interesting person!”
As part of Magic Mastery and our most private inner circle, we want to invite you to join in our deepest thoughts and exploration!
Every Friday, we send you a ‘Thinking Differently Essay’ as part of your weekly email.
The ‘Thinking Differently Essay’ will highlight a dazzling insight we picked up during our studies during the week.
It might be something we learned from $2000-a-ticket value marketing seminars, something we picked up from the autobiography of a world leader, or perhaps even something one of our own ‘in-house’ Inner Circle members sent in!
Either way, we want to give you a new philosophy for approaching magic (and life) that could potentially 10x your magic skills and understanding.
And for reference, along with the essay each weekly email you receive as a member will also more or less feature:
- 1 Piece of Theory Training (including audio training, essays, video breakdowns, and more!)
- 1 Effect, Sleight, Course, or Routine (from Steven, The Daily Magician, Danny, or one of our friends such as Ollie Mealing)
- 1 ‘Thinking Differently essay’ (an essay where we take a lesson from outside of magic and explain how it can apply and improve your skillsets in life and performance!)
- Community Updates (learn how your fellow members are doing, and join in their discussion!)
- 1 ‘Deal of the Week’ (claim your discounts on desperately sought-after magic!)
As you can see there’s a lot on offer.
We could have made this upwards of $50 like many other memberships have done.
But instead, it’s just $24 a month, or $0.80 a day!
(that’s much less than a good cup of coffee…)
Plus, as with everything we do, if after 30 days you haven’t enjoyed your experience, simply drop us a email and we’ll refund you your money!
But we highly doubt that will be the case…
All this being said – sign up here:
Well, that was…

- Our Best Websites ✔️
…for learning magic.
