  NEW MIND READING ADD-ON WITH UPGRADE #2  

 

3 exciting ways to get a peek with HYDRA.

Hydra Upgrade 2

 

#1 - PeekSmith 3 integration

If you bought a peeksmith 3 device, this app upgrade will allow you to get a peek of whatever they type into Google or YouTube.

That means, by the time they’ve done their search, you not only know exactly what they searched for - but the HYDRA app has already placed the prediction LIVE on your social media. Without you ever touching the phone.

#2 - Apple Watch Peek

Customers have been asking for this for a long time and it’s finally available.

The most popular watch on the planet is the Apple Watch, so if you’re looking to go incognito as a mind reader, this is a tool you can’t leave home without.

App upgrade 2 now unlocks Apple Watch peek notifications, so with a quick glance at your watch, you know exactly what they searched for.

#3 - The Audio Peek

Wearing AirPods or headphones? The audio peek allows you to secretly HEAR the peek.

HYDRA will read it to you and repeat it as many times as needed.

This is ultra fooling for casual performances, as often, people leave AirPods in, even if nothing is playing.

And on stage, if you’re wearing an earpiece it makes the peek completely hands off - and can’t be retraced.

This is our favorite new feature of app upgrade 2.

Note: this new peek functionality does not work if you are using Wikipedia screens within hydra as your input.

You can still use wikitest and HYDRA will work at placing the word on your socials, but peeks can’t be done from the Wikipedia input.

 


 

  JUICE UP HYDRA BY UNLOCKING UPGRADE #1  

 

By purchasing this upgrade, it will allow you to perform HYDRA on your spectator's phone. 

You NEVER take your phone out of your pocket. 

Fulfilling the promise of constant innovation and development, HYDRA creator, Shameer, has just dropped his latest unlockable upgrade. 

For those who already own CIPHER PRO, WIKITEST, INJECT, or ELIPS (These 4 apps can be purchased separately from the app store), you'll be able to purchase (from the dropdown above) a special code that integrates HYDRA with those 4 powerhouse apps. 

This enables you to perform MORE deceptive & cleaner effects - using HYDRA.

 

Hydra Upgrade 1

 

Effect #1 - CIPHER PRO Integration

With the phone in their hand, you can have a spectator's star sign or pin code appear in your Instagram Bio or Facebook timeline. 

Cipher Pro secretly mines their pin code, star sign etc for you to peek and reveal - but with this HYDRA integration, you can have that information automatically put into your real Instagram bio without EVER taking the phone back. 

It's a hands-off miracle to end all miracles. 

 

Effect #2 - Inject Integration 

Now your spectator can legitimately search for anything on Google, using their own phone and you can have it appear in your Instagram Bio or Facebook timeline. 

From the moment they start typing, to the moment it's revealed (also on their phone) - you touch nothing

 

Effect #3 - Stranger Pro Integration

Perform a ridiculously clean Acaan using Stranger Pro.

You might know Stranger as the wizard calling effect, but you can now use stranger pro to send numbers, playing cards or anything to Instagram with this upgrade. 

Jonathan Levit, the creator of Stranger used this upgrade to close his continuous 26 shows in Magic Castle.

 

Effect #4 - Wikitest Integration


We all love WIKITEST, even David Blaine has used it on his TV specials. 

With HYDRA's Upgrade #1 you'll be able to link the two apps to reveal the chosen word in your Instagram Bio or Facebook timeline. 

Your spectator chooses a word from Wikipedia and can then view that word, predicted far ahead of time on your own social media. A guaranteed 'follow'. 

NOTE: You need the WikiTest Pro tools to use Wikitest integration.

 

Effect #5 - ELIPS Integration

 

You guessed it. Have any word from the lyric of any song appear as a prediction in your Instagram Bio or Facebook timeline. 

For those using ELIPS, you'll understand the power of a no-force revelation of any word from any song lyric in existence. 

If you're already using that app, with this new upgrade, you'll be able to reveal that word as a pre-written prediction, made days before you ever met your spectator. The best part? It happens on their phone. 

 

NOTE: You must own the original HYDRA app first & Cipher Pro, Wikitest, ELIPS, Inject or the Stranger to enjoy this upgrade. Purchase the upgrade from the dropdown above.

HYDRA is a modern multitool for perfect prophecies. Your spectator chooses any word, celebrity, playing card... Literally ANYTHING. No forces. 

With a simple swipe, HYDRA steals the spectator's (absolutely) free choice and creates a prediction on your real Facebook or Instagram profile... in 5 seconds flat*. 

When they look you up on Facebook or Instagram, using their own phone, they'll see you predicted EXACTLY what they thought of. 

HYDRA is one of the most advanced prediction tools we've ever seen.  It solves the problem of your audience assuming your phone is doing something suspicious, or that it's a fake app... because it's their phone the prediction is revealed on. 

Not only that, it can be verified by everyone and anyone who checks... It's really there.

  • Fully customizable.
  • Create your own templates.
  • Multiple input methods. 
  • Hands-off revelations.
  • No pre-show or forces. 
  • No fake social apps. 

 

This allows you to have one of the cleanest looking performances for any app-based effect. You don't have to type, turn your back, or 'milk' the phone towards you. 

Swipe. Lock. Done. Put it in your pocket. The rest is presentation. 

*ADDED BONUS* Because the prediction is revealed on your spectator's phone, you can now ask your audiences to follow you and increase your fan base while performing. It's a double-whammy. 

Hydra is so versatile, it can be performed in-person or over Zoom. Here are some performances from Perseus Arkomanis, JT Chalatsis, Nevin Sanchez, and the creator: Shameer Salim. 

With HYDRA, you can perform 1-on-1, using your own phone as the input device, or you can use a secret assistant to input the information for you. Your call, you have options. 

Ellusionist first connected with expert app-designer, Shameer Salim, to completely overhaul our beloved Cipher, Tempus, Predictagram & Picasso Pro apps.

The guy is a genius and doesn’t slouch with his code. The end result is an app you can rely on - and one that is far superior to anything we’d ever created before. 

Bug fixes, updates, and new features are baked into the price of HYDRA. Shameer will be on hand to provide support and development every step of the way. 

*The quote of '5 seconds flat' relates to testing on Instagram. Facebook can take up to 8 seconds according to the creator.

Clean and well made

This app is incredibly intuitive and ready to use right out of the box, with a clean, efficient routine. The add-on features make it even more powerful. I love that it offers a two-phase effect—first, you perform as a mentalist (I personally use Peaksmith), and then you reveal that everything was predicted all along, leaving the audience torn between magic and mentalism. The reactions are amazing, and as a bonus, you get more followers! It makes me want to pair it with another app like Inject or wiki to make the routine even stronger.

Worth it

I’ve been into magic for 35 years. I’m picky and salty now when it comes to things I buy. I’m very happy I bought Hydra. Hydra is so easy to learn and use. I did buy the inject add on. Which I’m very happy I did. Once you’ve got the app set up and running. You never touch your phone while performing. Yes there’s multiple inputs though which do use your phone in play. But I do highly recommend using inject with this. Totally amazing to be able to have everything done on a spectators phone.
Again I’m very happy with Hydra.

well thought out

Especially in combination with other apps, this is a really great mentalist tool. Works great technically. Now I'm in the routine-finding phase. As always, it depends on a sophisticated performance ;)

Purchased this on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I don't really know much about apps but this was easy to setup and I am no expert when it comes to technology, gets great reactions and I would highly recommend this to anyone.

In the modern world this is a must

I’m bought this and with a day I told friends who bought it.

If you want to get more jobs. You need people to follow you. People lost cards forget names but if they have a constant reminder because you regularly post and they will remember they followed you because they will remember the effect.

This is such a no brainer. Stop reading review and purchase it.

A must have.
