Effect

The Entropy Force is a digital magic trick that allows a magician to control the outcome of a calculation on a borrowed phone without ever touching it.

Despite the randomness of their choices, the magician reveals the final calculated number with perfect accuracy. The effect works live, over video calls, or even voice calls, making it highly versatile.

Full Details

  • The Atomic Code – The spectator enters personal numbers into their phone’s calculator, creating a unique total. The magician reveals this number without seeing the phone.
  • The 10K Odyssey – The magician forces a specific total on every calculator in the room, making it ideal for group performances.

    • Additional bonuses for iPhone users include Sum Duo and Echo Logic, which focus on number forces and predictions. The method requires no apps, no fake calculators, and no difficult math. It works on both iOS and Android devices.

    Who Should Consider the Trick

    This trick is ideal for magicians who perform with phones, especially in casual or interactive settings. It suits live performers, mentalists, and those who do virtual shows. Since it works on borrowed phones, it eliminates the need for special setups.

    Difficulty

    What Magicians Say

    Mark Lemon describes The Atomic Code as "deeply fooling" because each spectator gets a different result, allowing for repeat performances. He emphasizes that it works without handling the phone, making it perfect for video calls. The 10K Odyssey is praised for its ability to engage entire audiences, forcing a specific number on every calculator in the room.

    One reviewer notes that while the trick is flexible, it requires a device with calculator functionality and some audience interaction. However, the lack of apps or difficult math makes it easy to integrate into performances.

    The Entropy Force is a modern, practical solution for digital magic, offering strong, repeatable effects with minimal setup.
