I created Jolt to counteract the break-neck speed at which ruthless magic distributors are releasing crappy one-trick ponies, leaving a trail of ripped-off inventors and broke consumers behind as if tomorrow didn't matter.
Creating meaningful, hyper-specific performance pieces to retain existing clients and to get access to better ones was a wish expressed by many leading minds in magic.
Coding an app or having one commissioned is out of reach for most, especially on a per-gig basis. Making it work on a borrowed phone without fiddling was unheard of. Remote controlling it without gadgets was a pipe dream for everyone.
I was working on separate apps and technologies that addressed all those concepts when it occurred to me that combining them would create the ultimate entertainer's app maker.
I was discouraged from releasing it because it would disrupt the proven landfill industry of one-trick pony crap magic. And because I despise the entities that enable this institutionalized ripoff I went ahead and released it to a select group in April 2024. After garnering outstanding reviews I opened Jolt up to the public and am happy to report that it enabled many creative minds to make their ideas come to life quickly and effortlessly.
