Symbolic Method
iOS Universel / Utilitaires
'Symbolic Method' forms part of the 'Symbolic Close-up Trilogy' that dedicates to symbolic notation in Close-up magic. The volumes, all available on the App Store, are:
Vol. 1 - Symbolic Method
Vol. 2 - Symbolic Matrix
Vol. 3 - Symbolic Cups and Balls
These apps blend into the most comprehensive set of technical learning tools for Close-Up magicians, with solutions for mental techniques and notation systems.
‘Symbolic Method’ serves to document, draft and study ideas and variations on card tricks. It addresses all Close-Up card magicians. The app is inspired by Juan Tamariz's 'método simbólico', developed in 1978, and his visions on a notation system for card tricks, introduced in his publications ‘El Método Simbólico’ I and II, and the ‘New mini simbólico’.
Consider any card trick routine as a sequence of position checks and actions along with dramaturgic and grammatical elements. Pin those down in a most concise way by means of intuitive icons and symbols. Then let them guide you, view by view, to study, analyse, recall, and practice card tricks systematically. ‘Symbolic Method' gives you a holistic view on the routines, enables you to x-ray the method, and serves to go over your related material from books, lecture notes, brainstorming sessions, and videos. It opens up new perspectives, and is to the a card trick what musical notes are to a song.
It works on all iOS devices, with the best product experience on iPads.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
1. The new "Split Text" option for Text Slots allows to split text in Text Slots or Views.
- Text, arranged in one Text Slot, can now be split into multiple Text Slots or multiple Text Views. The split separator can be specified.
- For example, the text 'a-b-c', arranged into a single Text Slot, can be split into three Text Slots or Views that hold 'a', 'b', and 'c' by applying the separator '-'.
- Likewise, the text 'Say "a", then say "b", and finally say "c"', arranged into a single Text Slot, can be split into Text Slots that hold the texts 'Say', 'a', ', then say', 'b', ', and finally say', 'c' by applying the separator '"'.
- The new option makes it easy to isolate text sequences or bullet points from larger sequences into dedicated Slots. The resulting multi-Slot View can then be manually trimmed and adjusted. The original Text View remains as a reference and can be manually deleted.
- Large sets of split elements are better split into Text Views.
- Small sets of split elements may be split into Slots of a single View.
2. The new "Split at 1st Break" option for Stack Slots allows to split symbolic stacks at the first break symbol found.
- Symbols, arranged in one Stack Slot, will then be arranged into two Stack Slots each one holding the split sequences.
- For example, the sequence 'AS, 2S, BREAK, 3S, 4S', arranged into a single Stack Slot, will be split into the two Stack Slots 'AS, 2S' and '3S, 4S'
