Now! Ultra

NOW! ULTRA — The Evolution – from Mariano Goni

For over half a decade, NOW! has been the secret weapon of professional
mentalists worldwide — the app that turns any spectator’s phone,
calculator, or handwritten note into an instant, impossible revelation.
Now it’s evolved.

NOW! Ultra is a complete ground-up rebuild — native, faster, smarter,
and more powerful than anything that came before. Every feature you
relied on in the original NOW! has been rebuilt from the ground up and
perfected. Nothing was left behind. Everything was made better.

NINE WAYS TO ASTONISH

Words — Point your camera at any handwritten note, any phone screen,
any surface. NOW! Ultra reads it instantly — in any language your
spectator writes in, automatically detected. Peek, predict on internet, or print, as all the rest.

Numbers — Any number, anywhere. A calculator total, a phone number, a
random sequence scribbled on a napkin. Read live, delivered silently.

T9 — The classic effect, perfected. A spectator dials any number on
their keypad. You reveal every possible word it could spell —
instantly, in their language, with results displayed in elegant
rotating pages so nothing gets cut off.

LIFE — A birthdate becomes a revelation. Know instantly what day of
the week a stranger was born, and the exact number of days they’ve
been alive — calculated and delivered before they finish typing.

DNI — Spain Only. Reveal the last letter of national document instantly.

Luhn — Credit card mentalism. A spectator covers one digit of their
card number with a #. You reveal the missing digit live, using the
same algorithm banks use to validate cards — except you do it with
your mind.

Hollywood — Reveal the name of a thougth of Hollywood actor/actress.

Calc — Point your camera at any calculator mid-calculation. NOW! Ultra
reads the entire expression — multiple numbers, multiple operations —
and solves it before the spectator presses equals.

Cards Mode – Recognize cards and send to devices or the internet. Also Card to Number, effortlesly.

HARDWARE THAT DISAPPEARS

NOW! Ultra connects invisibly to the tools of modern mentalism:

MG-Device — Your silent, wireless second brain. Two buttons: one to
scan, one to confirm. Full control without ever looking at your phone,
with vibration feedback.

MGButton — A single covert button. Scan from your pocket, your sleeve,
anywhere, with vibration feedback.

PeekSmith — The classic peek method, with
vibration feedback that tells you, without looking, exactly when a
result has arrived.

Iarvel Card / MrCard — A playing card that becomes a screen. Five
directional buttons let you scan and confirm without a single visible
motion. Results render as crisp black-and-white text, directly on a
card in your hand.

NOW CAM — THE EYE THAT ISN’T THERE

See without being seen. NOW CAM is a specially crafted hidden camera
module, purpose-built for mentalism — a self-contained WiFi vision
unit that needs no internet, no router, no setup. It creates its own
private wireless network the moment it powers on, and your iPhone
connects directly.

Mount it anywhere. Conceal it anywhere. Point it at a tabletop, a
stage prop, under a spider table — while your iPhone stays completely
out of sight, in your pocket, on a table, anywhere but pointed at
what’s actually being read.

A single button press puts NOW CAM to sleep for the night —
battery-conscious, ready in an instant when you need it again. A
discreet LED confirms it’s alive with a single rapid blink, then
disappears into silence. Or use your iPhone’s own built-in camera
directly — the choice is always yours.

CONFIRM MODE — YOUR SAFETY NET

Mistakes don’t happen live anymore. With Confirm Mode active, every
scan shows its result first — on your hidden display, where only you
can see it. A second button press is all it takes to send it forward:
to print, to your prediction system, to your spectator’s amazement. If
the read is wrong, simply scan again. Nothing reaches the audience
until you say so. Needs card, peeksmith or Mg-Device.

PRINT THE IMPOSSIBLE

NOW! Ultra speaks natively to Glyphs X, Glyphs, and Cosmos thermal
printers — no internet, no roundtrip, no waiting. The instant a result
is confirmed, it prints, instantly, directly from your hidden device. (handwritten font only for some languages)

HYDRA PRO INTEGRATION

NOW! Ultra speaks directly to Hydra Pro — natively, on-device, with
zero internet dependency. Every revelation flows seamlessly into your
prediction system the instant it’s confirmed, opening possibilities
neither app could achieve alone.

EVERY RESULT, EVERYWHERE IT NEEDS TO GO

Every revelation NOW! Ultra detects can be delivered automatically to
your own API endpoint — perfect for custom prediction systems, remote
displays, or any third-party tool in your arsenal. No manual copying,
no delays — results are pushed the instant they’re confirmed.

A LANGUAGE FOR EVERY AUDIENCE

T9 dictionary support in eleven languages — Spanish, English, French,
Italian, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish
— with more available as free downloads, growing over time. Word and
number recognition works automatically in dozens more languages
worldwide, powered by Apple’s most advanced text recognition.

BUILT FOR THE STAGE

A discreet black interface. A camera that locks onto what matters and
ignores everything else. A screen that goes fully dark with a double
tap, the moment you need total invisibility. Manual or automatic
scanning, tuned to never misfire on a stray word in the room.

This is NOW! Ultra.

WHY THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Traditional approaches to this kind of effect require the spectator to
verbally share their information before the magician can use it — a
date, a number, a name said aloud, then somehow worked with secretly.

NOW! Ultra removes that requirement entirely. The camera reads what’s
already there — written, typed, or displayed — directly from the
spectator’s own object, in complete silence. Nothing is spoken.
Nothing is asked. The information goes straight from the spectator’s
hands to your hidden display, without ever passing through a
conversation.

This isn’t a faster way to do the old trick. It’s a fundamentally
different one — because the information was never something the
spectator had to reveal out loud. CLICK HERE TO GET YOURS: https://marianogoni.com/now-ultra/
