Unexpected Delivery by Gary Cross

*Please note this App is currently only for English speaking audiences. 

This has quickly become one of my absolute favourite effects to perform—not just because it's incredibly fun, but because the reactions are WAY bigger than I ever expected!

Picture this:

You tell your spectator you're about to show them a piece of technology that literally blows your mind.
They freely select a card—no forces, no funny business—it's placed back into the deck and they shuffle the cards.

Now, you open an app on your phone.
It asks the spectator how many times they shuffled. Whatever number they say, you input.

The app starts “calculating”...

But suddenly—it’s interrupted by your video doorbell ringing.

You pause. “Sorry, I need to take this…”

What happens next will FRY their brains.

A Trick Disguised as Reality

The Unexpected Delivery doesn’t just blend in—it replicates your phone’s home screen with eerie accuracy. Whether you’re using an iPhone or Android, the interface mirrors the layout and feel of a real device.

• Looks exactly like a real home screen. Every detail is in place. Nothing feels out of the ordinary.
• All 52 cards. This effect works with all 52 cards from a standard playing card deck.
• Choose your device version. Perform with an iOS or Android-style interface for maximum deception.
• Happens in real-time. You don’t touch the deck again. The magic just happens.
• No complicated sleights. A trick so clean, it fools magicians.
• Impossible to explain. Your audience won’t just be amazed—they’ll be haunted by it.
• Future Updates. Your purchase includes access to all future app updates.

The Illusion of Control

The spectator is convinced that everything is fair. They shuffle. They confirm their actions. They believe they’re in control.

Until they aren’t.

What happens next is out of their hands. The delivery has already been made.

This isn’t just a magic trick. It’s a mystery wrapped in the impossible.

Includes a tutorial of Peter Nardi's handling!
