Sleight: Magic Tricks for Your Phone

Turn your phone into a magic trick.

Hand someone your phone, let them choose freely, and watch their face. Sleight is a pocket magic kit made by Q Family Magic. Every trick comes with its secret and simple step-by-step instructions, so you can learn it in minutes and perform it tonight.

7 tricks, ready to perform

  • Unmarked Deck. Your friend picks any card from a full deck. They check every back for marks, and there are none. You name their card anyway.
  • Dummy 1089. Your friend does secret math on an ordinary-looking calculator. Their answer matches the prediction you made before they started.
  • Countdown Reveal. Cover a blank screen, count down from five, and their card, number or color fades into view. Snap your fingers and it vanishes.
  • Out of the Phone. A real coin slides around the screen as you tilt the phone. Shake it, and the coin falls out into your hand.
  • Rising Card. One tap, and their chosen card rises out of the deck all by itself.
  • The Stick Magician. A cartoon magician lives on a tiny stage in your phone, puts on a cheeky show, and pulls their card out of his hat.
  • Pull Through. A candy cane, a peppermint or a pencil sits on the screen, until you pull the real thing right out of the phone.

What you'll need

Two tricks end with a real object appearing in your hand, so keep one ready:

  • Out of the Phone: a real coin, poker chip, die or ring, or any small object you photograph yourself.
  • Pull Through: a real peppermint, candy cane, stick of gum or pencil, or your own object.

Made by a magician

Sleight is a solo project from Q Family Magic, made by a working magician rather than a big studio. Every effect starts as something performed live, and only goes in the app once it fools real people.

  • It looks normal. When you hand your phone over, nothing on screen gives the trick away.
  • You get the secret. Every trick includes how it works and how to perform it.
  • No nonsense. No ads, no account, no tracking. Your photos stay on your phone.

What Sleight uses and why

  • Camera: senses your hand during Countdown Reveal, and lets you photograph your own object if you choose to. Photos stay on your phone.
  • Microphone: notices a finger snap or clap in some Countdown Reveal modes. Audio isn't kept or sent anywhere.
  • Photo library: reads only a photo you pick for Out of the Phone.
  • Internet: all the tricks work offline, and the app doesn't send any data. Only the Learn more! and Contact us buttons leave the app, opening your browser or email.
