The Algorithm
An effect this good is almost unfair. Almost.
An effect this good is almost unfair. Almost.
An effect this good is almost unfair. Almost.
An effect this good is almost unfair. Almost.
What if you could access a piece of technology so advanced that it can instantly determine what card a spectator is thinking of?
A routine so deceptive that by the time you've completed the first phase, you're already five moves ahead of your audience?
A hidden principle so powerful that you’ll actually fool yourself… even when you know how it works?
THE ALGORITHM is all that — and more.
Watch the Trailer
THE ALGORITHM is not just a routine. It's a four-phase act that's always ready to go.
Imagine the following:
The audience shuffles a deck and pulls out any five cards at random.
You load up The Algorithm on a borrowed smartphone.
The spectator enters any four of the chosen cards into The Algorithm.
The Algorithm processes the data and reveals the unknown card… with 100% accuracy.
That’s interesting enough on its own, but to really demolish the critics, you’re gonna need to do it again. So you do.
But this time, you up the odds:
The audience chooses any four cards this time.
The spectator enters any threeof the chosen cards into The Algorithm.
The Algorithm processes the data and reveals the unknown card… with 100% accuracy.
It really is that straight-forward.
But it doesn’t end there. You repeat the feat yet again, with just three cards. Two of them are entered… and once again, the third is revealed with 100% accuracy.
What your audience just witnessed has now left the space of statistical improbability and entered a realm of downright impossibility. And just as their brains begin to catch up…
The Algorithm predicts the location and order of every single card in the deck… with 100% accuracy.
What the Pros are Saying
“Wow, that's killer!”
— Dynamo
"So convincing, it needs a warning label!”
— Michael Ammar
"The Algorithm is absolutely impossible! What a great trick!!"
— Christian Grace
"Yves has built a quick, strong and entertaining piece of magic with one of 20th-century card magic’s most surprising methods at its core. I liked it so much that I contributed an alternative way to perform it that's 100% self-working. Use any regular deck and any borrowed phone, with no pairing or apps to download or update. The Algorithm is well designed, fooling, and fun to perform."
— Michael Weber
APP FEATURES
Designed as a web-based application, you can execute The Algorithm on any iOS or Android device.
We've built The Algorithm to be as lightweight as possible. It runs as a secure Progressive Web Application — that means it runs off dedicated data servers on our end, installs instantaneously, and takes up virtually zero storage space on your device.
When you first unlock The Algorithm on your personal device, you'll gain access to a rich suite of features, including:
A full tutorial library, including written instructions and videos to help you learn The Algorithm right on your smart device.
A dedicated training simulator, so you can rehearse the most important steps as many times as you like without any interruptions.
Customizable settings — choose your preferred layout and setup, enable an auto-advance timer, and even change your suit order preference.
Need clarification or assistance? You’ve got it — right at your fingertips.
Anytime you like, reach out right from the app; no bots, no "please hold for the next available agent," just real human beings that want to help.

THE INSIDER SCOOP
First conceived in 2010 by Yves Doumergue (the genius behind innovations like SPLiT, Psy Key, and Kronos) and Xavier Decoret, The Algorithm is a completely self-contained effect with no gimmicks or device prep — just add a deck of cards and you’re good to go.
Plus:
The Algorithm works with ANY deck. No gaffs or other nonsense.
The Algorithm works on ANY major smart device. Borrow one if you like. If it has iOS or Android, The Algorithm works on it.
After launching The Algorithm, you never need to touch it again.
True performers will appreciate how carefully the routine is structured. Each phase of The Algorithm is designed to put you further and further ahead of your audience, so when the final reveal takes place, they never see it coming.

Learning 2.0
The Algorithm takes care of all the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters — entertaining your audience. And to give you the best possible head start, you’ll be guided by two of the best: Yves Doumergue and Gregory Wilson.
When you gain access to The Algorithm, you'll have an in-app library of video and written tutorials — complete with notated photos — at your fingertips, all designed to help you learn how to perform The Algorithm with peak efficiency.
You'll also learn Gregory's personal routine, including his deviously brilliant bonus phase that lets you perform The Algorithm — without using the app.
The Algorithm also includes a custom training program, so you can practice the most critical "moves" in a controlled environment, free of distractions.
Sharing is Caring.
Unlike other app-based deceptions, The Algorithm is completely self-contained. In fact, you can perform it with a spectator’s device if you like — a single tap generates multiple ways to share secured one-time access:
Scannable QR code
Bluetooth or NFC, Apple AirDrop, Android Nearby Share
Email/SMS/Messenger
Once your spectator launches the app on their device, you can talk them through the entire effect even if you’re not in the same room — or even the same country. It's one of the strongest effects you'll be able to perform right over Zoom, FaceTime, or any other face-to-face digital medium you want.
HELLO WORLD.
In today’s digital world, having The Algorithm means you’ll never be unprepared to amaze. Every smart phone becomes your secret weapon, and we can’t wait to see what presentations you come up with.
