## Description

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.

## Review summary

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.
