Two great updates for March.
Magic Levitate Version 1.2
The app finally has a video tutorial to help with learning the magic trick. Obviously the app also includes the welcome screen, which can be turned off in the device settings app.
Magic Card Stab 1.1
I've added a user suggested feature. You can now perform the trick twice with two different cards. After the first performance, return the dagger and you're good-to-go for a second performance - simple!

Amazing Magic Strength
I'm very excited to announce the latest addition to Alakazapps - 'Amazing Magic Strength'!
One of the design goals I set myself was to bring classic magic tricks to the iPhone and iPod touch. Magic Strength is very much inspired by the Excalibur Sword myth.
You show a digital nail hammered deep into a block of wood. However hard you, or the spectator tries, the nail can only be nudged ever-so-slightly from the wood.
With one magical gesture you gain the 'strength' to easily flick the nail from the wooden block.
You then invite the spectator to try and flick the nail free - they still fail! Even more magically, by simply touching the spectator they impossibly gain the strength to remove the nail.
It's really great to perform the trick while the spectator holds your iPhone - the illusion works even with very controlled test conditions.
Have fun.

Magic Box Vol.2
I'm pleased to announce Magic Box Volume 2 is now available on the App Store.
Volume 2 in the Magic Box series contains: Magic Card Stab, Magic Beer Bottle and Magic X-Ray. These three apps compliment each other perfectly, they're also all age restricted to 12+.
It's worth reiterating that Magic Boxes are a brilliant way to bolster your magic collection without filling loads of 'home screens' with icons. Magic Box Vol. 2 is the perfect way to bring an extra bit of entertainment to a night out. Magic Card Stab alone has been getting great reviews across the globe.
Enjoy!

January Updates
Three updates were released yesterday, here's whats new!
Magic Match v1.2.3
Has a new way to perform the secret move. It's my preferred method but the old one still works. The video tutorial has been replaced by one shot in high definition.
Magic Tattoo v1.2.1
High definition video tutorial has been added.
Magic X-Ray v1.2
Update brings speed control to the animation. Choose from 'Fast', 'Medium' or 'Slow' in the devices settings app.
Universal
The 'Welcome Instructions' screen has been updated, and will be for all apps. Aside from being cleaner, it contains a small button that links to all Alakazapps apps on the App Store. So if you want to add to your magic collection, it now only takes one tap.
I've got loads of work to do… new apps, updates and some other super special stuff on the horizon.
