Session Overview
Understanding iOS Shortcuts
We’ll begin by demystifying iOS Shortcuts – Apple’s powerful built in automation tool. Although shortcuts can seem complex at first glance, they are surprisingly intuitive once you grasp the basics. Think of them as simple “recipes” that tell your iPhone or iPad to perform a series of actions automatically.
You’ll learn the fundamentals and discover how these building blocks can be used to create astonishing digital magic effects.
Introducing Wingman Pro
Next, we’ll explore Wingman Pro, a revolutionary magic app that works hand in hand with iOS Shortcuts to deliver incredible effects on your iPhone.
Unlike typical magic apps that restrict you to pre built routines, Wingman Pro puts you in full creative control, allowing you to design your own effects from the ground up, tailored precisely to your performance style.
Hands On Creation
Together, we’ll build several basic effects step by step at an easy pace so everyone can follow along. By the end of this session, you’ll understand how to use these building blocks to create your own digital miracles and see the true creative potential of Wingman Pro.
Goal:
To make iOS Shortcuts accessible and easy to understand, empowering magicians to harness Wingman Pro as a creative tool for designing their own unique, digital magic effects.
With Wingman Pro, the possibilities are limitless – your only boundary is your imagination.
