The practice app for magicians

Misdirect Practise with purpose. Perform with confidence.

Log every practice session, keep every trick and sleight in one place, build and rehearse your routines, and record every show — so you always know what to practise next.

No card needed · then $4.99 a month or $39 a year

The Misdirect dashboard: practice streak, a year of practice activity, hours per week, goals, and the tricks going rusty.

From first rep to standing ovation

  1. Build your library

    Add the tricks and sleights you know and the ones you’re learning, or import your list from a spreadsheet. Mark where each one is: Learning, Got it, Automatic or Stage-ready.

  2. Practise with purpose

    Start a session, choose what to work on, and log your reps and how confident it felt. The timer keeps count so you can keep your eyes on your hands.

  3. Watch it come together

    See your streak, hours and confidence climb. Misdirect flags performance pieces that are going rusty, so nothing slips before a show.

Everything a working magician keeps track of

Library

Every trick and sleight — and where you are with it

Each trick and sleight has its own page with your sessions, reps and confidence over time, and your private notes. Tricks also list the sleights they need and your reference videos.

  • Learning → Got it → Automatic → Stage-ready
  • Confidence and reps charted session by session
  • See which sleights each trick needs
  • Private notes, plus reference videos for tricks
A trick page in Misdirect: Card to Wallet at the Got it stage, with sessions, total reps, best confidence and charts of confidence and reps over time.

Routines

Build sets that fit the gig

Put your walkaround, table or parlour set in order and see the running time add up as you go. Rehearse the whole set from start to finish, then see every show you’ve performed it at.

  • Running time adds up as you build
  • Rehearse the set start to finish
  • Every performance of the set in one place

Performance log

Learn from every show

Log the venue, the audience and the kind of event, rate each trick and the room, and write down what to change. Your notes are waiting the next time you prepare.

  • Casual, paid gigs and competitions
  • Rate each trick and the room’s reaction
  • Reflections you’ll read before the next show

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new account gets 30 days with everything included. You don’t need a card to start; choose a plan whenever you’re ready.

What happens when the trial ends?

If you haven’t chosen a plan, your account becomes read-only: you can still see everything, but you can’t add or change anything until you subscribe. Nothing is deleted.

Who is Misdirect for?

Any magician who practises: hobbyists learning their first double lift, walkaround and close-up performers, parlour and stage acts, mentalists and cardists. You add your own repertoire, so it fits whatever you perform.

Does the AI coach cost extra?

Not from us. The coach is optional and runs on your own Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI) or Ollama account, so that provider bills you directly for what you use — usually a few cents at most. Your key is stored encrypted.

Can I bring in the list I already have?

Yes. Paste your tricks and sleights from a spreadsheet or your notes, check the preview, and they’re added to your library.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Misdirect runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from your Account page. You keep full access until the end of the period you’ve paid for.

Who can see my library and notes?

Only you. Your repertoire, notes and practice history are private to your account, and we never sell them.
