Magic In Review: iPredict+ Greg Rostami Theory11

This is a re-release of the original version of this app. It has some much needed improvements over the first version. Firstly the addition of being able to text message the psychic instead of having to make a phone call.

There is also another psychic you can add for an additional fee that will predict numbers.

BUT

I am getting a little ahead of myself

The idea behind this trick is as follows.

You approach a group of spectators and ask them if they believe in psychics, most people will answer yes to this question. It does not matter what their answer is though, as you will proceed to explain that you recently met a REAL psychic, she is able to make real predictions and even read your mind.

You can even show them her business card.

You ask the spectator to simply THINK of a card, you pull out your iPhone and open up your contacts.

You then scroll down to Christen's contact info and open it up. Ask the spectator to name out loud the card they are thinking of, you can then show one of the other spectators that the number on the business card matches the one in your contacts list. Now it's time to either call or text Christen, you can even have the spectator use their own phone!

Their will be NO EXPLANATION for what happens next.

If you call Christen she will name the thought of card in her voicemail message.

If you text her she will respond with a text naming the thought of card.

I guarantee you will get good reactions with this trick.

Greg provides some excellent patter to get you started with performing.

Keep in mind though that your magic should always have a bit of you in it, it seems more natural that way.

It's always a good idea to use the patter provided with a trick as a guide that can be improvised on, to add your own spin or twist to.

This app is also cleverly disguised so that no one would ever find it, you can let people play around with your phone and they will never find the secret, it really is that good

Now for the downside...

There are a few negatives to consider with this app.

First the UI is a bit quirky and will take some practice to get it right the first time every time.

Second depending on where you live, long distance charges may apply to make the phone call required to perform this trick. As well if you don't have a texting plan you will be paying for your texts sent to Christen.

Mind you this is a nominal fee when you consider the impact of the trick.

I have also read user reviews stating that text messaging from over seas does not work, but I can't confirm that part as fact.

The other thing that bothers me is that the other psychic who predicts numbers from 1 to 75 costs an additional $2.99. Seems a bit steep to me, I think it should be included with the price of the app which is also $2.99 and can be purchased on the app store here.
