Effect
Trinity is a magic effect that uses a spectator's own iPhone. The magician can perform multiple-out predictions directly within the spectator's Notes app. The magician can also secretly view information not on the screen while the phone remains in the spectator's hands. Additionally, the magician can monitor real-time Google or Wikipedia searches without leaving any trace in the browser history. The entire routine appears clean and uses genuine apps and websites.
