Want To Know The Power Of A Text? Ask A Magician →

November 13, 2014

by Kyle Kelly-Yahner

Doug McKenzie makes old magic tricks new again with a few lines of code, and a few decades of practice. At AWS re:Invent, Doug showed off his take on an old magic effect he put a spin on using Twilio SMS. Attendees selected a card, put it in their pocket without looking at it, and then texted Doug’s Twilio app which told them their card correctly, every single time.

While Doug won’t reveal his secrets (or code) you can take a look for yourself in the video above.

    I was today years old when I learned that I can send “pew pew” in an iMessage to someone and it will show up with lasers.
