Quantum Calculator by Electricks

Created by: Electricks

The Quantum Calculator is a Bluetooth-enabled magic device disguised as a standard desktop calculator, designed for close-up, stage, and mentalism performances. Spectators see an innocent-looking calculator that the performer can remotely control to create impossible mathematical outcomes, such as forcing numbers, influencing calculations, or revealing precise results like square roots of random numbers. It integrates with the Electricks ecosystem, including props like the SB Watch and PeekSmith, and supports routines that turn numbers into meaningful revelations, such as personal dates or secret words, making it ideal for interactive and prediction-based magic.

Key features

  • Bluetooth connectivity for remote control by the performer

  • Disguised as a common desktop calculator to avoid suspicion

  • Suitable for both close-up and stage use due to its bold size and private screen

  • Integrates with Electricks ecosystem and third-party magic apps

  • Enables a wide range of mathematical magic routines, from classic forces to modern mentalism

Pros

  • Highly deceptive design that blends seamlessly into performances

  • Versatile for various skill levels and performance styles

  • Strong integration capabilities with other magic devices and apps

  • Allows for organic and impossible-seeming effects without raising suspicion

Cons

  • May require familiarity with technology and Bluetooth setups

  • Dependent on battery life and connectivity, which could be a point of failure

Effect

The Quantum Calculator looks like a normal desktop calculator. A spectator can use it freely. They can type any numbers they want. The performer does not touch the calculator. Yet, the performer can make the calculator display impossible results. For example, a spectator names a random seven-digit number. The performer then reveals its exact square root on the calculator screen. The performer can also guide the spectator through simple math steps. These steps can lead to a personal revelation, like a significant date.

Full details

The Quantum Calculator is a Bluetooth-enabled device. It connects wirelessly to a controller. This allows the performer to control the calculator remotely. The performer can force numbers, change calculations, or inject results from a distance. The calculator is designed to be bold and visible. This makes it good for stage shows. The screen remains private to the audience, so only the spectator sees the final number. It integrates with other Electricks products like the SB Watch and PeekSmith. Magic app developers are also creating new integrations for it.

Who should consider the trick

This trick is for magicians who perform mentalism or prediction routines. It is good for performers who want to use technology without causing suspicion. The device looks like a common object. It is suitable for both close-up and stage magic. Magicians who already use the Electricks ecosystem will find it especially useful. It is designed for performers who want to create organic and impossible moments.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The technical method is handled by the Bluetooth remote control. The performer does not need advanced sleight of hand. The main skill required is presentation and audience management. The performer must be comfortable guiding a spectator through a routine. The difficulty lies in creating a convincing story around the mathematical outcome. Chris Edwards notes that the device allows magicians to turn numbers into meaning. This requires good scripting rather than complex physical skill.

What magicians say

Chris Edwards states that the Quantum Calculator is a significant innovation. He says it brings classic mathematical magic into the modern era. He highlights its ability to integrate with other props, calling it a versatile tool. Magic Orthodoxy provides an evaluation focused on practicality and value.
