“This is hands down the trick that just floors people! It is so much fun to perform and just seems absolutely impossible! Jonathan has created a trick that does not seem like a trick. It is a performance piece that can end any show and will be what everyone is talking about.”
A spectator names a playing card, a word, a number, picks an envelope, mixes a rubiks cube, says something. Anything.
a TOTAL STRANGER is called.
The stranger REVEALs what the spectator is thinking!
This is a full performance of The Stranger, performed with the playing card revelation. The call to the stranger turned into a video FaceTime call. Be sure to watch to the end to see the uproarious reaction from the audience!
Out of the “box”/phone, the Stranger allows you to:

I want to send them over the edge!”

One guy jumped out of his seat and ran out of the theater!”

“The Stranger” is the perfect marriage of plot and possibility.This is more than a culmination of what has been done before — it is a sea change.”

“It’s the ultimate ‘this can’t be happening’ moment. And then it happens. What could be better?”
DANNY ORLEANS
“When it comes to “Pick-a-card-and-I’ll-name-it” tricks, the category is pretty enormous. And I’ve seen more than I care to remember. But when I watched Jonathan Levit perform THE STRANGER, he received the largest explosive reaction I’ve ever heard reverberate inside the Chicago Magic Lounge.”
DAN HARLAN
“You did it! This is definitely the best “Call a Stranger” idea ever! For the working pro to the beginner…it’s perfect for any magician that wants to have a true miracle in their pocket. This is a real winner!”
MIKE CAVENEY
“Imagine having a blockbuster effect in your pocket at all times that is suitable for an audience of one or a hundred. Believe it or not, you already do. Just add Jonathan Levit’s “The Stranger” to your arsenal and you become a walking miracle worker. This brilliantly thought-out routine defies explanation.”
TONY CLARK
“This is one of the strongest and most well put together phone apps effects I’ve ever seen. It will knock your audiences socks off! This is one that every magician can and should do!”
Incredible!!! There are many many apps out there for magicians. But this is so good and well thought out, you’re crazy for not purchasing this. Unlike anything that has been offered before. Such a cooler. You can close your show with this. It’s that good. Apple app store review (5 Stars)
Surpassed expectations. “This would end up being another app that would just stay on my phone and never be used, but The Stranger is exactly the opposite. This should be way more $ than it is- this is truly a steal. Myself and my audiences thank you, Jonathan!” Apple app store review (5 Stars)
Brain frying magic. Easy to do, huge impact. “The effect itself seems impossible to the spectators but is incredibly easy to do. It can be done with literally no sleight of hand but the impact is still huge. It is so simple that your focus will be 100% on the performance. If you like knuckle busting sleight of hand, this is not for you. If you like completely frying peoples brains with an impossible mentalist effect, this is for you.
The trick is exactly as Jonathan performs it in his trailers and as it is described in the Apple store. If you like what you have seen in the performance videos, then you will love this trick. Plus, it plays huge. You can do it for a few people, but it would work just as well for a an entire auditorium.
I have to admit that I am surprised he released this to the magic community and didn’t keep it to himself. This is a reputation maker and a truly professional level piece of magic. Congratulations and Thanks to Jonathan Levit for sharing his magic genius with all of us.” Apple app store review (5 Stars)
Again – what you created is so well conceived, so diabolically effective and so well executed you should get an Academy Award or something! WOW what a well thought out trick, great teaching, great data and superb recordings and execution. I never get blown away any more. I managed cruise ship entertainment for a decade for Regency Cruises and Princess. Managed the Magic Corner in Hollywood. I’ve just seen it all. This is the top effect of the year and way too hidden! You need the cover of Genii! It’s that good! Jonathan Todd | “The Stranger” User
“The Stranger” is BRILLIANT!! “I can’t say enough about this App. The description of it sounded amazing. And now that I have it, and have used it … ‘amazing’ is a monumental understatement.
This is an absolutely inspired creation. Practical, intuitive, and absolutely mind blowing.” Apple app store review (5 Stars)
Wow! “The effect is amazing, the interface is simple, intuitive and elegant. The instructions are incredibly well-written and easy to understand. I wish all magic apps were this good.” Apple app store review (5 Stars)
Unbelievable reactions! “Its difficult to explain how much this effect resonates with people. This taps into something that is exciting AND impossible. The spectator can even do all of the talking, further eliminating any method they could ever hope to grasp. When the card is finally revealed there is this beautiful and pure moment of astonishment that all of us as magicians ever hope to achieve.” Apple app store review (5 Stars)
Any playing card is selected or named. A random phone number is called. The Stranger on the other end of the line names the specatator’s card! The reactions are huge. Check out this video and see for yourself.

Whether you are with one person, strolling, or on stage for a large audience, “The Stranger” will get a great reaction! I’m not kidding. I’ve done this in every one of these situations and it is easily the best response in the show.
Audience members call out numbers to construct a truly random phone number. The phone can be in the spectator’s hand and they can press the numbers and place the call themselves.
Learn how to first call a disconnected number or a voicemail, or both, before connecting to The Stranger. These convincers dispel any thought that the routine has been pre-arranged.
That’s right. ANY card can be named and The Stranger on the other end of the call will know the card!
The trouble with most phone magic tricks is they feel like you are using technology. “The Stranger” is completely organic. You are truly dialing a random phone number and having a conversation with someone on the other end of the call.
Call a real person and communicate the card to them with absolutely no forcing and no verbal coding!
Note: This feature requires a monthly subscription, available as an in-app purchase.
Using Wi-Fi Calling, even with no cell reception, your call can be placed to ANYONE on an iPhone OR Android, and the chosen card can be communicated (with no coding or forcing) with no cell reception, even in airplane mode!
There is nothing to prepare. The performance is exactly as you see in the video above. A card is selected or named, a random phone number is dialed and after a conversation with The Stranger, they reveal the card!
Learn the secret and start dialing. Careful thought has been put into the routining to make this bullet proof and easy to perform.
Rehearse performance and timing easily and choose from a variety of options that allow you to perform this immediately, or rehearse more advanced scenarios for an even greater impact.
Choose from different performance possibilities to give you a SOLID performance, from 1 to 10 minutes in length. Perfect for the emcee, or, heck, anyone performing magic, in any venue, on any stage or situation.
