About Wingman Card Magic
Wingman Card Magic uses the oldest trick in the book to allow the magician, you, to produce a card of your choice at any time - an accomplice. Wingman Card Magic and Wingman Card Accomplice are a pair of apps that you deploy on 2 Android devices that have been paired over Bluetooth. The illusionist asks the audience to call out, draw, sign, or otherwise indicate a card, and the accomplice simply chooses it surreptitiously in the accomplice app.
NEW FEATURES! Card flips are now animated! New cards added - black and red Jokers, and a special U MAD card to really confuse your audience.
Wingman got its name from the common practice of bringing a buddy to the table when trying to make new romantic connections to help make a great first impression. It is the buddy's job to make the performer look good. Wingman was actually tested in exactly those harsh environments and produced great results - interested strangers who wanted to spend more time with us!
Important features:
- You must pair and connect the 2 devices in advance. Pairing lasts forever, but connection must be done every time the trick is launched.
- The pairing can be done in either direction. The best way is to choose "Make discoverable" from the option menu on one device, then on the other device choose "Connect a device". Scan for the other device and select it, follow and instructions on-screen and the devices will be paired.
- When ready to perform or rehearse the trick, from either device choose "Connect a device". The paired device will already be in the list. Select it, and the devices will be connected.
- Wingman Card Magic indicates that it is connected by adding a "!" after its name.
- Wingman Card Accomplice indicates that it is connected by updating its status bar with the connected device name.

It would have been really nice if there was an option to make the card flip when someone touches the back of the card & not when the Wingman Card Accomplice is pressed. This would then take all the pressure off the accomplice. It would also be nice if when the face of the card was touched it flipped over to the back design again. The spectator could also flip the card over & over revealing both selection then back of card over & over again. IT IS AN EXCELLENT PIECE OF MAGIC But the 2 options above would have put the icing on the cake. JUST IMAGINE...... In room 'A' you could show them a Tablet or Phone with back of a card on, leaving this in room 'A' Then go to room 'B' and let them choose any card they like, totally free choice, then ask them to return to room 'A' and touch the back of the card on the tablet or phone revealing their selection. JUST IMAGINE......... How brilliant that would be. I do hope the developers consider these suggestions. Geoff........aka...Tricky 'D' That's Me!
