The Gaslight app costs $19.99. When you buy this free product on PenguinMagic.com, you'll be given a secret link to the app on the App Store. Gaslight is currently only available for iOS. Android will be coming later this year. Requires iOS 17.0 or later.

Make the light on your phone move around as though it has a mind of its own. No complicated gimmicks or accessories that you have to clip onto your phone. This is a self-contained app that can make the flashlight of any iPhone dance, zig-zag, and ping-pong around the back of the phone. Make your audience question reality when you perform Gaslight by Seth Race & Chris Hanowell.

Here’s what happens:

You turn on the flashlight on your phone to show everyone the bright light that is on the back of every phone. You put your phone down on a table and cover it with a handkerchief or napkin. With a magical gesture, the light on the phone starts to roam around underneath the cloth cover entirely on its own. You then remove the cloth and the flashlight is shown to be back where it normally resides, and the phone is completely examinable.

Gaslight is a specially built app that allows you to make it look like your flashlight has a mind of its own. The app is fully customizable, so it can work with any iPhone model currently supported by Apple. A little choreography is all it takes to make this illusion look perfect. Additionally, Gaslight can be combined with some of your favorite LED magic products to make it appear as if you remove the light from the phone and put it back on. This incredible app allows you to perform wild visuals using an object everyone carries in their pocket: a cell phone. This trick is easy to do and will find its way onto your home screen to be something you perform every day. Give your iPhone magic a ghostly kick when you perform Gaslight by Seth Race and Chris Hanowell.

Way overpriced & not worth it Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 30th, 2024
After paying $20, I downloaded the app. Guess I was expecting more, but definitely was not worth $20. Yes, will play with it, but this is going to be another trick pushed to the back of the drawer & soon forgotten.

Very Funny & Spooky Effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 16th, 2024
In the last 10 years I bought maybe 30 or 40 magic apps for my Iphone.
For the first time, finally, I have an easy to do and easy to remember modus operandi effect.
Use it as you see on the demonstration video, don’t try to present complicate routines, until the day that you’ll find a really better one.

Fun app/effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 13th, 2024
Fun app to play with, although $20 seems a bit much. Sadly the video isn’t that well made, you get the idea and can fairly easily work your way through the operation/use of the effect, but there were no close-up views of the phone screen when the instructions are being shown. But again, it’s a fairly simple app to use.

A modern mind game that feels truly impossible Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 24th, 2025
I’ve been performing Gaslight for a few weeks now, and it has quickly become one of the strongest psychological pieces in my close-up set. What I love most is how clean the entire routine feels from the spectator’s point of view. Every time I’ve performed it—whether in cafés, on the street, or for friends—the reactions have been a perfect mix of laughter, shock, and that beautiful “no way… how!?” moment.

The handling is extremely smooth once you understand the flow, and it doesn’t feel like work. After a bit of practice, the routine becomes second nature, letting you focus completely on presentation. What impressed me most is that Gaslight allows you to create a genuine mind-control vibe without ever feeling procedural. It plays big, feels personal, and hits hard.

I’ve performed it on both magicians and non-magicians, and it fooled everyone. The structure is clever, the scripting opportunities are great, and the effect gives you total confidence once you start getting those reactions.

If you want a modern, powerful, and believable psychological effect to add to your repertoire, Gaslight is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

Fun Addition Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 19th, 2025
This is something that I have waited for. I use it as a finale ti another effect using my phone flashlight. Perfecto!
I wanted to add this since I saw David Penn’s routine…. Which proves this is a great stand alone effect too.

Wonderful trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 2nd, 2025
Gas light has fooled quite a few people and it's really fun to do. I highly recommend this trick if you are a beginner or have some experience. You'll need to practice this trick a bit to make it look convincing but once you have the timing down it's amazing. I love the look on peoples faces when they see the light moving.
