Pick Up Trick

A mind reading magic trick & prank all rolled into one flirtatious little app.

Pick-up trick is the ideal pocket wingman. Imagine walking up to someone who you would like to date or flirt with and offer to show them how crazy search engines have become. You ask the voice search function on your phone to tell you about the person you are with, it then accurately describe their appearance, guesses the first letter of their name and predicts a number they are merely thinking of. This gets a great reaction, but there’s more. To seal the deal it will tell their future and romantically link them to a clown, pirate or a geek. As a surprise joke ending, when they look up they will see that you’re appearance has changed and you are now wearing a red nose, eye patch or some very geeky glasses. Take in the laughter, receive your kiss, then the rest is up to you.

Mentalism meets Magic with the new Fortune Cookie ending. The text-to-speech from the search engine will tell you it cannot predict the future, but suggests you try a Fortune Cookie. You then magically produce a real one from your phone screen and give it to your target. This gives you the opportunity to personalise the message inside the Cookie to anything you like (for example your phone number or social media details).

There are a few ways of performing Pick-Up Trick without props, but to get the best reactions you will need a prop or two. The props are relatively inexpensive and available at most fancy dress stores or joke shops and through our dedicated Prop Store. www.pickuptrick.strikingly.com

Full instructions and access to a tutorial video are included with the app.
