Not-quite-forgotten magician Paul Daniels has released an iOS app he describes as being a calculator, only it’s a bit more exciting than that. It’s a MAGIC CALCULATOR.
Or, in fact, it’s more like a simple trick, designed to let users fool their friends into thinking they have a mastery of magic. Once you’ve been through the setup process, the magic app lets you slightly amaze people by being able to pick a specific word out of a page of a book, by generating a predetermined answer to a maths question.
Whoever’s performing the trick looks up the answer beforehand and writes the predicted word on a piece of paper, then enjoys life as lovely ladies like Debbie McGee throw themselves at them thanks to their newfound magical powers. 69p is how much it costs to generate the illusion of being a magician.

You’ll like it, not a lot…
Not at all most probably.
simple book test, but quite nice having it on your phone (if you have an Iphone)btw…Debbie looks fine for over 50!
I think the term here is GILF
I was thinking that too +1
What’s crack, Daniels?! iPad only…yet you’re using an iPhone in your video?!
Met him once – when I worked at a theatre in York…I miss those days
I saw him in York a few years back. Definitely a top magician and funny with it too. And yes, Debbie is stunning still.
his wife’s hot
the guy is so underrated , one of the best magicians of our time and it seems only his peers acknowledge it .
Mrs Merton on interviewing Debbie McGee “so why did you marry the millionaire shortarse Paul Daniels”…
Ahhh Debbie, so flexible and ageing well.
Credit to Paul Daniels for being such a good and under-rated showman these days, on Saturday nights as a kid his show was compulsory viewing.
Glad to see we have some great talent still coming through (Dynamo for example), same British style of being calm, hint of humour almost bashful, such a pleasure to watch versus say David Blane….
