Learning

Where do magicians get their start?

Trickifi is the practice and repertoire app for magicians. Organize your tricks, practice with custom exercises, record rehearsals, and track your mastery progress with fully encrypted protection so your secrets stay yours.

Trickifi is a web app, so it runs in your browser on any phone, tablet, or computer, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. It doesn't sell magic and isn't a marketplace. It's a companion to the shops, creators, lecturers, and publishers magicians already learn from.

Until now, there's never been a clear path to mastering magic. Other performing arts (music, dance, theater) have low entry barriers, embedded K-12 infrastructure, local suburban studios, higher education degrees, and a vast support network of professionals, educators, mentors, and practitioners. Trickifi is bridging the magic gap with science-backed training curriculum, self-guided progression systems, and soon, 1:1 mentorship as the world's largest network of magicians.

Knowing how a trick works isn't the same as rehearsing, performing, and mastering it, just like watching movies doesn't make you an actor. Like any new challenge, magic requires deliberate practice, consistency, self-reflection, and venturing outside your comfort zone. Social media is a great entry point but it lacks the structure, guidance, and personal coaching to keep you on track. Trickifi can't put the hours in for you, but it can help motivate, track, and celebrate your journey.

We give new magicians a jump start with a few curated tricks, but Trickifi doesn't sell magic. Instead, we're a companion to the vast network of online shops, social influencers, convention dealers, lecturers, creators, and publishers. The world already has plenty of tricks. Trickifi is here to help you master them.

That's entirely up to you. The first challenge every new magician must overcome is finding great magic that suits their style, skill level, and budget. From internet searches, social media channels, library books, or online magic shops, there are endless resources for awesome tricks. Just remember: a trick's difficulty or price tag has nothing to do with its impact. Some of the best magic in the world is performed with a $3 deck of cards.

The magician's code to never reveal secrets is as old as magic itself. However, every magician can attest to a few exceptions. If you express an earnest willingness to learn, or if you can barter a few secrets of your own, you'll discover most magicians are eager to help, no matter how far along you are in your journey.

Privacy

How does Trickifi protect the magician's code?

Not unless you choose to share them. Repertoire and backstage content, journal entries, and other sensitive material are end-to-end encrypted. This prevents anyone, including Trickifi staff, from viewing, accessing, or sharing your secrets.

Trickifi is the first and only tool for magicians using bank-level encryption to protect your content. This means no one, including Trickifi staff, can access your secrets. See how Trickifi keeps accounts secure.

Only if you created it. However, shared content cannot be duplicated, reshared, or shared with more than one magician at a time. This means you cannot reshare content shared with you, and personal content like journal entries, mastery progress, or relational data is excluded. This restricts widespread sharing and ensures only content you create from scratch is shareable.

You own the content you create indefinitely. Trickifi cannot share, sell, or otherwise license your content.

Trickifi won't end magic piracy overnight but it's a step in the right direction. In addition to fully encrypted, zero-knowledge client-side architecture (which means content stored on our servers is useless to hackers), we believe real magic is more than just a physical prop or easily shareable video download. The anatomy of everything you add to your Trickifi account relies on structured variable inputs, relational data, personal adjustments, and insights curated over time which can't be stolen, duplicated, or shared. It would be like knowing a meal's ingredients but not its recipe or chef's notes.

Violating Trickifi's intellectual property guidelines is grounds for removal from the platform. We take DMCA Copyright Complaints seriously and won't tolerate distributing unauthorized IP. We're here to evolve and expand the magic community, not to resolve turf wars and legal battles.

You're absolutely right. Just like the world's best door locks, bank vaults, and magic secrets have weak points, Trickifi balances security and performance for the highest reassurance with the best possible user experience. If you still have concerns about leaked content, we recommend sticking with pen and paper.

Because magic secrets aren't generally available to the public, most large language models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude don't have a knowledge source to pull from. This makes it very difficult for AI to learn, reveal, create, or even understand magic methods. But each time a magician uses AI to discuss trade secrets, their conversations can be used to train future models, which eventually become accessible to anyone. Trickifi gives magicians a safe place to learn, practice, and master material without risking public exposure.

Pricing

How much does Trickifi cost?

Trickifi will always include a free plan. Trickifi+ costs $9.99/m or $89/year with the ability to upgrade or downgrade at any time.

Trickifi+ unlocks the ability to add unlimited items to your account, master unlimited tricks simultaneously, and will soon help you manage gigs and clients.

Yes. All we can say for now is that Jam Sessions are coming next year.

Mastery

How does Trickifi work?

The Mastery Formula is like a language teacher, a fitness tracker, and a magic mentor rolled into your own personal coach to help you master everything in your repertoire. Each time you rehearse and assess your skills, the formula updates based on your progression or regression. While Trickifi can't replace face-to-face mentorship, it offers a unique alternative to traditional methods of learning.

Every Mastery Journey advances through 3 memory phases: Foundation, Retention, Preservation. First, the trick is encoded to short-term memory by completing personalized daily exercises and rehearsals in the Foundation phase. Next, the trick is inscribed to long-term memory by gradually increasing the time between rehearsals during the Retention phase. Finally, the trick remains mastered indefinitely during the Preservation phase by rehearsing just enough each year to maintain proficiency.

In addition, 7 Learning Principles are applied throughout the Mastery Journey:

  1. Rapid Immersion: Jump in early and often, even when you don't feel ready
  2. Strenuous Recollection: Struggle to remember and let mistakes happen
  3. Spaced Intervals: Gradually extend downtime between each practice session
  4. Immediate Feedback: Assess every rehearsal for instant, actionable focus areas
  5. Alternating Methods: Switch between focus areas during each practice
  6. Daily Limits: Practice shorter, more frequent sessions instead of longer, less frequent sessions
  7. Mental Practice: Visualize detailed, flawless performances, especially before falling asleep

Inspired by hundreds of intellectual prodigies, extreme athletes, famous artists, scientific case studies, TED Talks, and magician biographies, the Mastery Formula was refined over 7 years with hundreds of user tests, feedback sessions, and improvement cycles. In addition, Trickifi owes tremendous credit to the following books:

  • How Magicians Think by Joshua Jay
  • The Psychology of Magic: From Lab to Stage by Gustav Kuhn and Alice Pailhès
  • The Practice Playbook: A Magician's Guide to Practicing Smarter by Eric Yuhasz
  • Ultralearning by Scott H. Young
  • The Science of Rapid Skill Acquisition by Peter Hollins
  • Make It Stick by Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, and Mark A. McDaniel
  • Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
  • Actionable Gamification by Yu-Kai Chou
  • Atomic Habits by James Clear
  • Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth
  • Bounce: Mozart, Federer, Picasso, Beckham, and the Science of Success by Matthew Syed
  • Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport

Though exercises are continuously added, Trickifi currently has 3 cognitive pools with 9 observations, 44 exercises, 16 practice modifiers, and 8 mastery tiers to create over 3,000 base practice sessions and over 5 billion unique combinations.

Magic isn't about high scores or achievement badges, but XP, CardRank, and progress indicators can help you stay on track while reinforcing intrinsic motivations to be a better magician. Most of Trickifi's win states are difficult to falsify, but it's not a cheat-proof system. Instead, Trickifi's point system is designed to reflect and reward genuine effort and commitment. You can't get stronger by lying to a fitness app, and you won't perform better magic by lying to Trickifi.

Affiliates

How do I partner with Trickifi?

Trickifi Affiliates are magic shops, dealers, authors, influencers, or magicians that create or sell original content for other magicians that want to extend their reach by partnering with Trickifi.

Affiliates can distribute their content more easily with specialized single and multi-use share links. As the names imply, single-use links can only be redeemed once and multi-use links can be redeemed multiple times.

  • Sharing a trick on public social media? Add a multi-use link in the description.
  • Selling magic online? Include a single-use link in each order confirmation.
  • Dealing magic at a convention? Hand out printed single-use QR codes with each purchase.

When Affiliate links are redeemed, the content is instantly added to the recipient's repertoire, however, they cannot reshare or duplicate redeemed content, and won't have full edit functionality. If the recipient doesn't have a Trickifi account yet, these special links also serve as instant invite codes that bypass the waitlist.

Every Affiliate application is manually reviewed and approved. To apply, you must have greater than 10,000 followers or subscribers across your network, or you must sell original content with at least $1,000 in sales in the past 12 months. Note that distributing non-licensed or non-original content will revoke your Affiliate status.

For a limited time, Affiliates earn 50% commission for up to 2 years on every Trickifi+ subscriber who joins through one of their share links or picks one of their tricks when they first join. That means you keep half of all Trickifi+ subscription revenue from each referral within their first 2 years on the platform. Some exclusions apply, but we're sending a strong signal about prioritizing growth and community over personal profits and gains. See the full Affiliate Terms for details.

No. The Affiliate program was designed to complement your existing channels, not to compete with them. As long as you agree to the Affiliate Terms, we encourage you to continue evolving the magic community, with or without Trickifi.

Coming soon

What's next for Trickifi?

Jam Sessions are still in development and aren't available yet. They're built around leaderboards that show your practice stats and achievements on your magician profile, so the reps you put in earn you some street cred. It's about who's put in the work, not who's better at magic, and there are no prizes or payouts. More will be revealed before launch, and CardRank will play an important role 👀

7 years in the making, Trickifi was ideated, designed, and coded by a life-long magician you've never heard of. There is no team, no investor backing, no corporate incentives, no funding rounds, no pressure to reach profit milestones, and no outside influence or ulterior motives. Trickifi exists solely as a love letter to magicians everywhere, and when the creator is ready to share more, you'll know.
