Notifier by Illuminati Magic

Created by: Illuminati Magic

Notifier is a high-tech peek device that pairs with Second Sight, an RFID reader, to discreetly display scanned information for magicians. This system is ideal for mentalism and card magic, allowing performers to know selections without touching the deck or to make impossible predictions with custom-tagged objects. The devices are modular and can integrate with other Illuminati Magic products, offering versatile applications in close-up and mentalism performances. However, the system requires pre-tagged objects and involves a significant investment.

Effect

The Notifier is a small LCD screen that pairs with the Second Sight RFID reader. It displays information discreetly, allowing magicians to secretly know details like a spectator's chosen card or personal object. The audience sees the magician perform impossible feats of mind reading or prediction without any visible technology.

Full details

The Notifier works with Second Sight, which detects RFID-tagged objects from up to 5 inches away. When a tagged object is scanned, the Notifier shows the information on its screen. The device is modular, meaning it can connect with other Illuminati Magic products like UniFi Dice and Color Sense.

Setup involves Bluetooth pairing and app integration. The system requires pre-tagged objects, such as RFID playing cards or custom-tagged props. The Notifier can be palmed or hidden in a box, making it useful for close-up magic and mentalism.

Who should consider the trick

The Notifier is best for professional magicians who perform mentalism or card magic regularly. The high cost makes it less practical for hobbyists. Performers who already use RFID-based magic or want to expand their tech-driven routines will benefit most.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The Notifier is not difficult to use once set up, but initial configuration requires time. Performers must learn how to conceal the device and manage angles. The system relies on RFID-tagged objects, so users must be comfortable handling and maintaining these props.

What magicians say

Tyler Lunsford calls the Notifier a "secret accomplice" that opens new possibilities in mentalism and close-up magic. He highlights its ability to display scanned information discreetly, making it useful for impossible-seeming revelations. However, he notes the high cost, with the Notifier alone priced at $252 and the full system exceeding $800. He recommends it for working professionals who can justify the investment.

The Notifier is part of a larger tech-based magic system, offering versatility for performers who want to integrate advanced tools into their acts.
