Description

“There are very few effects that transcend ‘magic trick’. ’The Stranger' is one of those effects."
-David Regal, "Genii Magazine"

“The Stranger” offers unlimited scenarios: A playing card is chosen, a word is thought of from a Book Test, the numbers from someone’s address are named, an envelope is freely selected, or the name of someone’s loved one is offered…and then, a random stranger is called. The audience has a conversation with the stranger and the stranger reveals the information.

This is an impossible moment. It leaves the audience with a feeling they cannot explain and they erupt in applause! Not out of a desire to be kind, rather as an uncontrollable, visceral reaction. And it happens every time.

With this purchase, you can have a playing card—any card, using no force of any kind—revealed by a stranger. Other effects can be unlocked to allow a number or a word revealed, read an NFC tag, or to simply allow the audience member to speak and have key details revealed by the stranger on the other end of the call without the performer saying a word.

Deceptively Simple, Yet Massively Powerful!

I’m not typically a huge fan of “phone magic” but The Stranger is not that at all. It’s not about using your phone to do magic. It’s about organically using your phone the way everyone knows a phone is supposed to be used — to make calls. It is deceptively simple in concept, but massively powerful in effect and possibilities. What seems like a simple prediction becomes a lesson in the impossible. Think about it. A spectator picks a card. You call a phone number that is created by a random bunch of people. A complete stranger answer the phone and is able to name your spectator’s card. Impossible, right? Well, The Stranger makes the impossible possible. And the more you explore its options, the more you realize how all the modes, options, and settings reveal new presentations ideas and opportunities to fry your friends, family, and audiences, from close-up to parlor and stage. I can’t wait to see what new features are on the horizon. Endless possibilities. Kudos to Jonathan Levit for creating an inspiring piece of magic that is suitable for all ages, audiences, venues, and magicians of all levels.

The Stranger…a true reputation maker!!

The Stranger is by far my favorite effect to perform either in casual situations or for paid gigs and the reason is simple, I’m sure to get each time a standing ovation! What I also like are all these different ways to present it, just my phone using a recording for those totally impromptu occasions, right on the spot, or by using a live stranger via FaceTime for more interaction with my audience. We’re also not limited to a card reveal, it could be a word, a time, a birthday or a combination of those, even a drawing duplication using some extra props. I should also mention the integration with several famous magic apps. Another thing that I absolutely love is the community of strangers ready to help each other and the top notch customer service provided by Jonathan Levit. Bottom line, you can’t go wrong with the Stranger. I barely never write reviews but The Stranger definitely worth it.

Fantastic App!

I love The Stranger App! Jonathan has created a fantastic app that makes performing a miracle easy to do! This can be a live phone call or with a pre-recorded conversation with a “Stranger” naming an audience member’s selected or named card. The added convincers make this impossible effect believable in the eyes of your spectators. Jonathan is constantly improving the app with regular updates. I have had this from the beginning and have seen it evolve into a fantastic way to blow your audience’s minds!
Jonathan has added so many incredible features since he first put The Stanger out.
The Pro Version takes this to the next level and beyond!
In addition to all that, Jonathan Levit’s customer service and dedication to this app is incredible! (The best in the business)
One of my best purchases...It gets my highest recommendation!
