Features & Capabilities

This App is a tool for fooling your friends into thinking they're texting directly to Penn or Teller, who answer with smart-aleck remarks and the punch line to an amazing magic trick. It works 24 hours a day with different replies (and different levels of courtesy) depending on the time of day or mood you find Penn or Teller in.

User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for its entertaining magic trick and family friendly appeal, plus customization that lets you mimic a Home Screen. Several reviews also note it looks good and has been updated or released for free. However, multiple reviewers report credibility and UX issues: the chat UI resembles Android rather than iMessage, reducing believability; card guessing can be inconsistent and chat history cannot be reset; and some iPhone UI expectations are not met (not designed for iPhone display, hidden status bar).

Pros

Entertaining and family-friendly magic trick.
Strong customization to mimic the iPhone Home Screen (and duplicate screens).
Polished visuals and the app is updated and available for free.

Cons

Chat UI looks like Android chat rather than iMessage, hurting believability.
Card guessing can be unreliable and some responses do not occur.
Chat history cannot be reset, making it hard to reuse the trick with different people.
iPhone UI fidelity issues: not designed for iPhone display, and the status bar can be hidden or the home screen looks odd.

I saw this app on the show and I thought I could get it a try, but my smarter friends realized that the chat was fake. So I suggest you have a android and iOS option at the beginning of opening the app so they’ll not instantly catch on.
