Community Guidelines

Most of what you put into Trickifi is encrypted on your device before it leaves. We can’t read your tricks, your routines, or your notes. So the rules below are short. There isn’t much for us to police, because almost nothing you do here is public.

The exception is your stagename. It’s the one thing other magicians can see, and it’s the one place we have to draw clear lines.

Your stagename

Pick a stagename that represents you. That can be your real name, your performing name, an alias, or whatever you go by in the magic community. We don’t require legal-name verification.

What we don’t allow:

• Impersonating a known magician. Don’t pick “Shin Lim” if you’re not Shin Lim. This applies to working pros, well-known YouTubers, magic creators, and history’s heavyweights, all the way down.
• Impersonating another Trickifi user. Including deceptively similar variants, like “shin.lim” when “ShinLim” is already taken.
• Impersonating Trickifi staff. Anything resembling “TrickifiSupport,” “Trickifi Team,” or similar is off-limits unless it’s actually us.
• Slurs, harassment, or hate. No racial, religious, gender, or orientation-based slurs. No targeting individuals.
• Sexually explicit, illegal, or threatening content.

Similar names aren’t automatically impersonation. “TheMagicJim” and “TheMagicJames” can coexist. We use judgment. Context, profile content, intent, and timing all matter.

We may release a stagename if the account behind it is dormant for a long stretch and the name has obvious working value to another magician. We won’t release one that’s clearly tied to your real identity or active use.

You can change your stagename twice every 14 days. That limit exists so this surface stays meaningful, not so anyone can name-juggle to grab handles.

How you treat other magicians

Magic has its own etiquette. Some of it is unwritten, some of it is older than this app. Trickifi expects you to respect it.

• Don’t expose other performers’ methods publicly. If you learn how someone does a trick, through their teaching, through observation, or through a leaked video, keep it to yourself. Method exposure is a reputation-ender in the magic community for a reason.
• Don’t out other magicians’ real identities. Many performers separate their stage life from their legal name, often deliberately. Don’t be the person who connects them.
• Credit your sources. If a routine builds on someone else’s effect, name them in your notes. We won’t enforce this. The magic community will.
• No harassment. Disagreement is fine. Sharpness is fine. Going after another user is not.

What you share publicly

Today, your stagename is the public surface. As Trickifi grows we’ll add more, like public profiles, comments, mentions, and leaderboards. These guidelines stretch to cover them in the obvious way:

• Whatever you make public should be yours to share.
• Don’t post other magicians’ protected methods in any future comment, mention, or profile field.
• Don’t impersonate, harass, or deceive in any context that other users will see.

What we don’t allow, anywhere

• Illegal content under U.S. or your local law.
• Content that sexualizes or exploits minors. Zero tolerance, immediate removal, reported to authorities.
• Threats of violence.
• Spam, bot networks, scraping, or automated abuse of the platform.
• Coordinated inauthentic behavior. Multiple accounts to evade limits or manipulate any future ranking.

What happens if you cross a line

Our response is proportional to severity, history, and harm. There’s no fixed three-strikes ladder. That kind of ladder overpromises process we don’t run. In practice:

• Soft cases (a borderline stagename, a misunderstanding): we’ll usually email you first.
• Clear violations: we may rename a stagename, hide content, or restrict an account.
• Severe or repeated violations: we may suspend or close the account.
• Illegal content: handled immediately, reported where required.

If we act on your account and you think we got it wrong, reply to the email and we’ll review. We’re a small team. We read every appeal.

Reporting
