Magic Wallet and other news.
The holiday season is a super busy time for everyone! Here at Alakazapps I've been putting in crazy hours to make sure it's a magical time too! Plenty of ground to cover in the post so here goes…
First a quick mention of 'Magic Beer Bottle'. When I released 'Magic Bottle Cap' a couple of months ago it was always my intention to release an adult version. See, if I included alcohol in 'Magic Bottle Cap' it would have been subject to age restrictions. Since I want my apps to be open to as many people as possible, it seemed sensible to make two versions. Magic Beer Bottle also has slightly different graphics to give it a more 'bar-like' appearance. Magic Bottle Cap and Magic Beer Bottle are available now on the app store!
You may have already noticed that Alakazapps newest release is 'Amazing Magic Wallet'. The trick is simple but visually stunning. You open a digital wallet, shake out a couple of coins, then slide one out - it becomes real! I really do think Amazing Magic Wallet is the perfect pocket magic trick because everything you need to perform the trick is already in your pocket. It currently supports UK, US and EU coins but I'll be adding more with updates! The app is live now, so go grab it for the introductory price.
Finally, a little bit of background on Alakazapps website. I've been working hard to re-imagine the site for the last few months and the final changes will be revealed before the end of the year. When I launched Alakazapps I only had time to design a very simple site, a temporary home for my apps. Though the site was functional, it never captured the fun of magic. To this day seeing a magic set takes me to a happy place, they're treasure-troves of excitement. Since apps don't come in fantastic boxes, I thought my website could be a virtual box of illusions.
I've got another app due out before xmas that is really very special, and a slew of updates due for the New Year so stay tuned.
