Penn & Teller Magic Chat Reviews

It’s a neat trick and I like the customization allowing me to duplicate the Home Screen. Of course, that doesn’t matter much if it immediately pops up the (not iMessage) chat screen as soon as the card is selected. Not to mention, when PennTellerMagicChat is opened, the status bar is hidden unless the image is reselected (and, for buttonless iPhones, the swipe bar is displayed even though it wouldn’t appear on the actual Home Screen).

The biggest drawback is that the chat threads can’t be reset so, after testing it a few times, I can’t hand it to a friend without them knowing it’s been done over and over again. My normal conversations with Penn and Teller have far more interesting content.

Great app, thanks I have used your How to play with your Food book.

Thank you for taking the time to create this for families to have a bit of magical fun during these strange times. No problems with PennTellerMagicChat , here. Looks great, nice customizations. My 14 year old was/is blown away by the trick (and the fact that I know Penn and Teller). Thanks, guys. You have been great during the pandemic.

Just downloaded PennTellerMagicChat and tried a few times. Sometimes it gets the card number right but the wrong suit or Teller doesn’t respond to my “messages “ to pick my card :( am I the only one that cannot get it to work?? So far not fooled..

I’m not going to be able to pull off this fun idea because it’s not designed for iPhone display style. Too bad because I would’ve really enjoyed trying it in earnest.
Also, near the end of the tutorial the word “review” is repeated. That’s the end of my review review.

I had bought the old P&T trick app back when I had an iPhone 4. PennTellerMagicChat was perfect because it looked exactly like the phone Home Screen, and when you entered the “messaging” it looked exactly like the current iOS messaging app. Then PennTellerMagicChat stopped being updated, and the iPhone screens got larger and PennTellerMagicChat looked weird and didn’t work to convince anyone. PennTellerMagicChat is now updated (and free), but the Home Screen looks odd. Not a real bother because you can set a custom screen—just take a screenshot of your Home Screen and set that. The issue is the messaging app that is clearly an android chat knock off. When I hand my iPhone to a friend to complete this trick, there’s no way they’re going to think it is anything other than a trick app because it doesn’t look anything like the message app for iOS . Additionally, in the original app, the suits were alphabetical, I.e. CDHS. In the tutorial, they show was that order, but in the actual app they are out of order, which makes it harder to memorize.

Does not look like iMessages anymore like it used to. Kinda pointless unfortunately. :-/
