Magic Review - Passkeys by Lewis LeVal

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of "Passkeys" by Lewis LeVal, a clever toolkit designed to harness the capabilities of an iPhone for magical performances. Priced at $32, Passkeys is a digital download offering a PDF guide, a video tutorial, and essential files to be used with your iPhone. What sets Passkeys apart is its app-free design, ensuring reliability and avoiding the pitfalls of app crashes or update issues. The toolkit comprises three key elements: 'Travel Buddy,' a straightforward mini book test; 'Friends of the Lou,' a card incorporating psychological forces inspired by Banachek, Alex Elmsley, and Henry Harrius; and 'Peak Devices,' three methods for using an iPhone as a peek device, including 'Asarum,' 'Artist,' and 'Boarding Pass.' David praises LeVal's production quality and highlights the toolkit's portability and versatility, making it perfect for travel and impromptu performances. He emphasizes the importance of the included PDF guide for proper setup and recommends Passkeys to iPhone-owning magicians looking for a reliable and affordable set of tools. David also promotes his other channel, The Magic Channel Card Tricks, as a resource for learning beginner-level magic.
