After completely frying your spectator with your latest and greatest card trick, you ask if they would care to see a trick with their cell phone. You grab their phone, snap your fingers and instantly cause the touch screen to stop working. As much as you swipe your finger side to side, the screen never moves. Snap again and instantly the screen is functional. Look to the spectator and let them know you're ready to start your effect. Simple, Quick, impromptu and a heck of a lot of fun to perform. This is SWIPE!
Perform with iPhones, androids, iPod touch, iPad, android tablets..... You get the idea. Perform with any android or apple device!
Bonus effect awaiting you at the end! The method is simple, but opens the doors for many effects to come!

England • Oct 5th, 2022I like impromptu tricks, like this. And this trick is awesome, plus it's free. Thanks Bill Perkins for this trick!
San Juan, National Capital Region • Dec 29th, 2016Free, Impromptu, and did I mention free? Download it now.
Sandpoint, Idaho • Oct 2nd, 2016Awesome, impromptu, practical trick that involves every day items - our phones. Did I mention it's easy? Get it now! It's free.
Latvia • Jan 4th, 2016This effect is amazing.. It is simple, direct and easy to do. The bonus effect actually fooled me more than the actual effect. Of course the bonus is just for android devices and it can not be done with borrowed phone but still it is a great effect if you have your own android device. And you can't complain when it is free.. 5 stars.
Shah • Dec 23rd, 2015Good trick, although somebody might catch it. But overall it is really good!
USA • Dec 20th, 2015This trick is genius I think if i ever met a pro he wouldn't be able to explain it. The explanation was perfect and I might even add this to my street magic arsenal.
FL • Nov 30th, 2015Awesome! I would never have thought of that myself! THANK YOU
Australia • Sep 7th, 2015This is a great trick to perform - it uses an everyday item and is completely impromptu! Keep it up!
United States • Jul 24th, 2015Great trick, very easy.
Earth • Jul 15th, 2015Amazing! Great effect. I use this as a go to effect and everyone drops their jaws to the floor!
World • Jun 24th, 2015Great idea that can be applied to other phone tricks and variations.
Earth • Jun 12th, 2015I love this effect! It is so simple, gets great reactions, and everyone has their phone on them. My one criticism would be that the bonus effect doesn't work on the iPhone. Also, ignore the fact that people say when you touch an apple icon it darkens. That doesn't reveal the trick in any way because nobody notices that. Overall, an excellent effect!
California • May 13th, 2015This is awesome. Easy and effective
Slovenia • Apr 22nd, 2015Great effect that can be done anytime with any phone, and works well.
Beirut • Feb 26th, 2015Very simple and easy effect to learn; just a small fun thing to do when with your friends!
England • Jan 13th, 2015This is a pretty cool trick (tricks) I love it; I have already used it many times. It sucks that you can't use the other trick on Apple devices. I give this trick 4 stars.
Norway • Jan 12th, 2015This is an awesome effect. I like it to open my phone routine. Also the bonus matrix is nice; it gives a new look to the matrix.
Belgium • Jan 12th, 2015Pretty interesting abuse of the smartphone technology. The biggest problem I have with it is the lack of interactivity with the audience. Also, Ryan's problem can be solved by clicking the area between apps.
Australia • Jan 8th, 2015This trick works really well! When I'm out in public or at school and someone asks me to show them a magic trick that I'm not ready for I show them this. And the bonus effect at the end is also a great trick!
Chicago • Dec 30th, 2014Wow! I showed this trick to all my family, and no one knew how I did it. I give this effect 5 stars ;)
Poland • Dec 29th, 2014This is a great effect! Good ice breaker at parties for sure. The one thing you can count on for people to have is their phones.
California • Dec 19th, 2014This one is great! Only problem is that with apple devices, when you tap a icon it darkens, sort of revealing it. Otherwise, it`s a great trick!
California • Dec 16th, 2014Very cool trick. Spectators who are attached to their phones get very surprised and this makes for a funny atmosphere surrounding the trick.
Ireland • Dec 12th, 2014The trick is cool, however the only bad point about is that the spectators can't touch it themselves. A good trick though.
Spain • Dec 7th, 2014I LOVE this trick. This is one of my go-to tricks at all times. It is very hands on and will surely confuse and cause tension points with spectators. I Highly, Highly, Highly recommend this trick.
