Chris Kenner has one of the best minds in magic. He’s insanely creative and has been David Copperfield’s main creative partner for over 20 years. Most of Chris Kenner’s magic requires incredible skill, but last month Chris released a very cool magic trick that anyone can do.

The Rising Card App (available at the App Store for $2.99) is a really simple, clever effect:

Ask your friend to name ANY CARD.
Open the Rising Card App and a photo will appear with a deck of cards.
Have your friend shake the iPhone… and their thought-of card will magically RISE up out of the deck!

Pretty cool, huh?

It can really be ANY card. The secret requires no memory techniques, no sleight-of-hand, and no voice-recognition tech. All you need is an iPhone.

If this kinda thing sounds like fun to you, I suggest you get it. While it certainly isn’t the kind of thing I’d put into my professional magic show… three bucks is a small price to pay to fool your friends at the bar.
