I have performed magic since I was eight. To me it is a form of art — it brings joy to people and offers a different way of thinking, much like games do.
Magic and games rhyme. Both are systems built to surprise an audience. Both ask the designer to be honest about what people actually see, not what they think they see.
Performances
A couple of recorded acts.
Dreamland Magic Act
SU Mid-Autumn Festival Gala — Magic Show
Magic Apps
Tools I built for performers — bringing sleight of hand into the phone in your pocket.
Endless miracles with nothing but your phone
A digital magic toolkit. Make objects vanish from a photo and reappear in your hand, using advanced on-device image processing. Built in SwiftUI and limited only by the performer's imagination — runs on iPhone, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
An ordinary-looking calculator that forces any number
A magician's calculator that looks exactly like the stock iOS calculator — but lets you force any number, or the current time, with what I designed as the cleanest forcing method. Perfect for prediction effects that hide in plain sight.
