I purchased this trick after watching a world class magician perform it at the Magic Castle. The
usefulness of the effect is the variety of applications. It forces a number of your choice. This
could be a card value, dice roll, serial number, anything numeric. Only limitation is imagination.
Drawbacks. IOS only. Works only on Basic Calculator mode. be careful of screen
orientation portraits vs landscape. I installed on an iPad mini and it works just fine. Minor issue
with scientific notation on larger numbers, but switching to landscape mode usually fixes it.
Originally, I was reluctant to install foreign software, but the gimmick involves just some
shortcuts and you can inspect everything before enabling. So, I am ok with that.
I haven’t
tried it yet, there are two additional modes beyond the stored force. One is what they call on the
fly, you can change the forcing value using a shortcut. I opted just to alter the existing code to
the number of my choice. Probably easier than using their feature. Second is a voice activation, I
am working that one.
This trick works with the newer versions of the iOS (18 and up) and
probably works with legacy as well. The video gives a Facebook Group and the author’s personal
email. Seems like he really stands behind his work.
If you have any desire for
calculator magic and a unique way to force a number, I highly highly recommend this product. The
magician I saw using it had a very creative implementation that kept us wondering and he kept
getting us to give him more and bigger random numbers through his 20 minute show. He used this as
his finale, it is that good.
Wonderful
