Apps
Magic apps
The magic industry is full of creative thinking. Magic performance is only the end result, while creators of effects constantly innovate and blend science, technology, psychology, and technique to generate new ideas.I have been fortunate enough to work with industry leaders to develop and co-develop two apps. In both cases I created working prototypes to test and develop the effects before being put into full production. I worked alongside Lloyd Barnes on Cognito for Murphy’s Magic and with Ellusionist for Predictagram.
COGNITO
What would it look like if you could genuinely read minds?
Magicians and mentalists have debated this for centuries. They’ve searched high and low for ways to crack the code to this age-old question. While many have tried, few ideas have come as close to looking like genuine telepathy as “Cognito”.This revolutionary magic app, which has been called “the best magic app of the decade”, enables you to harness the unimaginable power of divining a thought that only exists within a person’s mind. No writing, typing, speaking, pointing, forcing, etc. They think of something and you know it.
PREDICTAGRAM [DISCONTINUED]
Turn Instagram into a weapon!
Predictagram allows you to make predictions on YOUR Instagram – of ANYTHING.. It perfectly (and automatically) duplicates your existing Instagram to hide in plain sight as something your audience sees every day.
Personal projects
I sometimes tinker with small personal projects that allow me to understand more about web development, but also to create web apps that I find useful.
Look — Daily photography prompts
Challenged by a friend to take one photo each day in 2026, I decided that I needed a way to be inspired or even constrained. By having a concept, a style, a subject that I needed to capture, I can observe the world with more of an idea of what I'm looking to capture.
Instacram — Flashcard social feed
Constantly annoyed at myself for scrolling posts and reels on Instagram, I decided to make an Instagram clone that helps me to learn. Vocabulary, Welsh, Japanese, flags and capital cities were the initial areas I've put in. I've made it so that I (and other users) can create new categories and add 'posts' via the UI.
