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.
