Effect

Second Sight V2 is a magic tool that uses RFID and NFC technology to create impossible-seeming effects. A spectator freely chooses cards or objects, and the magician instantly knows their selection without any visible clues. The information can be sent to an app, website, or even a printed prediction, making the reveal feel completely hands-off and impossible.

Full details

Second Sight V2 consists of a small RFID reader that detects information from NFC tags embedded in objects like cards, boarding passes, or lottery balls. The system can send this data to an integrated app, allowing for real-time reveals, custom images, or even fake web searches. The device is thin and discreet, fitting inside a wallet, card box, or under a table.

The accompanying software (Scribe) lets magicians design custom reveals, such as personalized messages, celebrity predictions, or fake Wikipedia pages. The system works through most materials except metals and conductive surfaces.

Who should consider the trick

This is ideal for magicians who want to create highly interactive, tech-driven routines. It suits performers comfortable with learning software and integrating technology into their acts. Those who enjoy mentalism, prediction effects, or interactive card magic will find the most use for it.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The technical setup has a learning curve. Steve Faulkner mentions that while the system is intuitive once understood, initial setup requires patience. Users must ensure proper tag programming and app settings to avoid errors during performance. However, the included tutorials help simplify the process.

What magicians say

Steve Faulkner calls Second Sight V2 "ridiculously powerful" and praises its seamless app integration. He highlights the versatility, saying, "This isn’t just a card reveal—this is people choosing their own cards without you anywhere near it." However, he notes that mastering the system takes time, advising users to double-check settings before performing.

The ability to create custom effects, like fake web searches or personalized predictions, makes it a standout tool for tech-savvy magicians. Faulkner emphasizes that while simpler alternatives exist, Second Sight V2 offers unmatched flexibility for those willing to invest the effort.
