'Symbolic Matrix' 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 Matrix’ serves to document, draft and study ideas and variations on the Coin Matrix theme. It addresses all Close-up magicians who dedicate time and ideas to this classic effect, from the early Chink-a-Chink approach to the most recent solutions.
Consider the Coin Matrix trick 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 Coin Matrix effects systematically. The ‘Symbolic Matrix’ method gives you a holistic view on the effects, 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 Coin Matrix effect what musical notes are to a song.
It works on all iOS devices, with the best product experience on iPads.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
1. Some important dramaturgical elements are now rendered with more emphasis, in order to make them a more noticeable.
- The Context-Drama element "Effect" is now rendered in blue color, thus setting a higher emphasis, and making it easier to spot as an important waypoint.
- The symbols for "Wow"and "Gone" are now rendered larger. These symbols add dramaturgical context and are now easier to spot.
2. The 'Split Text' option introduced in the further release was extended to also isolate text. The new options 'Split Text > Set Separator and Isolate into Slots' and 'Split Text > Set Separator and Isolate into Views' allow to isolate the text bracketed by the split separator.
- For example, the text 'a-b-c', arranged into a single Text Slot, can be split into one Text Slot or one Text View that holds only 'b' 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 or Text Views that hold the texts 'a', 'b', and 'c' by applying the separator '"'.
