Keep every trick, act, routine, and technique in one place, practice them on a schedule, and keep your methods encrypted on your device.
Trickifi will always include a free plan.
Your repertoire is what you can perform tomorrow, not what sits in the drawer. These are the jobs a good app does for it.
Four kinds of things, linked together, so a trick knows which routines use it and which act those routines sit in.
What the audience sees, how you get there (kept private), and what happened the last time you did it live.
A trick you learned in March and never touched again is not in your repertoire. You need to see what is slipping.
Props, books and other literature, magicians who influenced you, events, communities, stores, media, and websites, all tied to the tricks they belong to.
Rehearsal notes, ideas, and what worked on a real audience, attached to the trick instead of lost in a notes app.
A repertoire is a list of secrets. The app holding it should not be able to read it.
Most note apps and spreadsheets store your text in a form the company can read. For a grocery list that is fine. For a method, it means your secrets sit on someone else's server, one data leak or one policy change away from being somebody else's.
Trickifi encrypts your repertoire, backstage items, and journal entries on your device with 256-bit AES before anything reaches our servers. No one, including Trickifi staff, can read your secrets. That is also why the content on our servers is useless to anyone who breaks in.
It has limits. Encryption can't protect a secret you show a friend over your shoulder, and a trick you share goes to one magician at a time. Within those limits, your methods stay yours.
You add a trick with its effect, method, origin, and performance notes. You group tricks into routines and routines into acts. Techniques and backstage items link in by name, so a prop or a book shows up on every trick that uses it.
Then you practice. Each trick can run a Mastery Journey: a schedule of rehearsals built on the Mastery Formula, with reminders, recorded rehearsals you watch back and score, and a journal entry for anything you notice. It can't put the hours in for you, but it shows you which tricks are getting them.
Trickifi doesn't sell or teach tricks. The world already has plenty. This is where you keep them and get good at them.
Trickifi will always include a free plan.
Most magicians start with whatever is already on their phone. Here is what each common tool does well for a repertoire, and where it runs out. We made Trickifi, so weigh our entry accordingly.
Catalog for tricks, acts, routines, and techniques, plus backstage items, a journal, Mastery Journeys with recorded and scored rehearsals, and practice tracking. Content is encrypted on your device.
Web appFree plan, Trickifi+ $9.99 a month or $89 a yearMade by us
Free, private if you keep it close, and fine for a few dozen tricks. It will not remind you to practice, link a trick to its routine, or survive a lost bag.
PaperFree
Good for sorting and counting: a row per trick, a column for status. It gets awkward once a trick needs notes, a video, a prop list, and a place in a routine, and the file is readable by whoever hosts it.
Any spreadsheet appUsually free
Quick to open and easy to search, which makes it the most common first home for a repertoire. Notes stay flat, so connecting a trick to its routine, its props, and its practice history is up to you, and most notes apps store your text in a form the provider can read.
Phone or desktopUsually free
Useful for blocking practice time and nudging you to rehearse. It knows nothing about which tricks are slipping, so the schedule is only as good as the list you keep elsewhere.
Phone or desktopFree
The right place for recordings of your performances and rehearsals. Without notes attached, a clip of a routine from last spring tells you little about what you changed or why.
Camera roll or cloud storageFree up to your storage limit
Helpful for brainstorming patter or structuring a set. It does not hold your repertoire between conversations unless you paste it back in, and anything you type, methods included, goes to someone else's servers.
