When Triggered Again

Play Mode

Shows what's armed for a moment, then goes black.
Performer Cues
A faint step counter and touch ripple that only you will notice.
Keep Screen Awake
Stops the phone locking while in play mode.
Escape Key Exits
Press Esc to leave play mode. Holding the top-left corner always works too.
Play Screen
None

Use a screenshot of your lock screen or home screen, so a glance at the phone looks normal. The clock in a screenshot won't change, so take it just before the show.

Pocket Tap Beta
Pocket Tap
Knock on the phone through your pocket to trigger it. In Two Zones, one knock plays the top sound and two quick knocks play the bottom.
SensitivityMedium

Walking can set it off, so stand or sit still while performing. Test the sensitivity with the phone in your pocket first.

Remotes
1

Pair it as a keyboard. For a Flic, use Universal (HID) mode.

2

Any button plays the armed sound. To give each button its own sound, use a Key Map routine.

3

Test it first. Tap Test My Remote below and press each button.

Ring remotes
Work, but some send screen taps, so every button plays the same sound.
Selfie shutter remotes
Most press volume up, which web apps can't detect. Only works if it sends Return.
Game controllers
Not supported, unless it has a keyboard mode (some 8BitDo models do).

About

Jake Keane
The Real Underground

Creator and Consultant. Jake's latest webapp, Banshee, allows users to experiment with the classic spirit bell effect using only their phone and a remote. It is part of a growing collection of tools for magicians, designed to do one thing well.

How It Works
1

Add a sound. Import a file or record one. Trim it, name it and choose when it plays.

2

Arm it. Arm one sound, or a routine that plays sounds in order or gives each button its own sound.

3

Enter play mode. The screen goes black. Any tap or remote press plays the sound. To leave, hold the top-left corner.

4

Hide the phone. Under the table, behind a cloth or in a pocket, near the covered bell. One ring for yes, two for no.

Each button plays on the other phone. A green flash means it played there; red means it didn't arrive.
