Any news of the International version?
I'm not patient at the best of times, but this is so exciting I'm refreshing the page every 30 seconds. |

I heard about this several months ago when Jonathan Levit mentioned it on The Magic Word Podcast. It sounded like it would be perfect for some ideas that I had, and I have been anxiously awaiting it's release. I watched videos of Jonathan performing it, and it is crazy strong.
I bought the app on the night of release and have been playing with it since. It's really really well thought out and executed. And Jonathan has been very helpful to people on the special Facebook group to answer questions and solve issues. One thing I really love about 'modern magic releases' is the closed Facebook groups that often accompany them. I am in a few, and it really is handy to have a network of people who are using the same prop that you are using and these groups become a think-tank for brainstorming ideas, troubleshooting issues, and sharing in each others success with said prop. For instance, one member closed his show at a casino this weekend and said his response was incredible (including from management). In the case of The Stranger, this group has another use - as many group members are volunteering to play 'the Stranger' for each other. I know Jonathan has more plans for updates to enhance the app (and subsequently, the trick)but after at least a year in beta testing - the app and the trick are already pretty *** phenomenal. |

This sounded familiar to something I bought back in 2008 called "Peter Knows", was a very low price and worked every time, brilliant, just cant remember all the details, I think the line is probably closed now, just thought it worth a mention.
Here is a link to the discussions on the Café back in 2008: https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/view......orum=109 Did anyone else buy this and use it? Thanks, Paul |

I got this just based on the respect I have for Jonathan's thinking and it transcended my expectations. It's interesting that so many of the faults people that haven't purchased the effect are bringing up are all covered in the insanely clever psychology at play in the design of the effect. There are so many options and variables you can control that makes it a perfect worker for most any occasion. I can't wait to put it to use!

Has anyone who recently purchased this tried it out? And, what are your thoughts on it after a few test runs?

It plays very strong, just as you see in the demo. To me it’s a keeper, I will use it everywhere I perform. It’s a no brainer for me. |

Just contacted Jonathan Levit, and he assured me than an ANDROID version is in the works. I have to say, this is truly a brilliant and well thought-out effect. Though I'm also worried about the inevitability of exposure (America's Got Talent, anyone??), there are so many smart subtleties built into the effect that I can see myself incorporating this into my act, even though I generally don't like cell phone effects. (One thought I have: if I do end up using this, I will try to think of a way to introduce the phone earlier in the show, or immediately prior to it, just to "naturalize" the device. Otherwise, I would worry a little about whipping it out for just this one thing--draws too much attention to it, as in, "I Will Now Use My Phone for This Special Thing." As opposed to already having it in play.)
Oh, and one more thing: the idea of harnessing live magicians via Facebook could be a game-changer in so many ways, used for other effects too. Brilliant. |

Hi JLevit,
Is there a chance the International version will be offered at a discount when it becomes available? Best, |

I just want everyone to have all the information prior to purchasing. The app is currently available to get from the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-stranger/id1397183489). If you would like to know more about the differences with this version and future updates that will include International functionality, please PM your email address and I'll send you a document to review. Please note, the discounted price is only available for another 8 hours. I was racing to make this available prior to that deadline, and I in no way planned to cut it this close. If you are interested in getting this before that time expires, please go for it. Thank you! Jonathan |
