Over the last couple of months I realized something very important:

A huge amount of problems performers experience with magic apps are actually NOT caused by bad apps.

Most of the time, the real issue is a misunderstanding of how iPhones, Bluetooth, APIs, push notifications and background processes actually work.

And honestly — that is completely understandable.

Most people were never taught these things. They simply use apps every day without understanding what happens behind the scenes.

That’s exactly why I created this video.

This is probably one of the most important videos I’ve ever made for performers using modern magic technology.

In this video we cover:

– iOS background limitations
– Why apps suddenly stop responding
– Bluetooth reliability
– Push notifications & web apps
– APIs explained in simple terms
– URL Schemes & offline communication
– Airplane Mode testing
– Professional performer setups
– Reliability & redundancy systems
– And why some systems are much more reliable than others

If you use:
– magic apps
– Bluetooth devices
– web-based systems
– APIs
– or performance technology in general…

…I would HIGHLY recommend watching this video completely and without skipping parts.

Understanding the fundamentals behind these technologies can honestly save performers an incredible amount of frustration later.

And if the response to this video is good, this may become the beginning of a much larger series about professional magic technology, workflows and performance systems.

Hope this helps a lot of you guys.
