This public service announcement is brought to you by a magician who, like you, is stuck home in quarantine and spending a lot of time on his iPad.
“Magician” and “iPad” in the same sentence means Simon Pierro. The iPad magician cooked up some new quarantine -themed tricks to show off. (He also reminds fans to stay at home to help slow the spread of COVID-19.)
Pierro doesn’t normally pull rabbits from a hat. However, he does pull rolls of toilet paper from his iPad in the video he posted to YouTube over the weekend. His iPad also turns into a soapy sink to wash his hands — and then a towel to dry them off.
While all of Pierro’s tricks normally come from his iPad, he does show he can work wonders without the assistance of a tablet with a number of equally breathtaking tricks. He calls the videos “Best Apps for Quarantine,” but of course you won’t find his so-called apps on the App Store.
David Pierini is a former newspaper writer and long-time photographer. Considered a luddite by most of his friends, they did not believe him when he broke the news that he would be writing for a technology website. He is fascinated by human nature and would love to cultivate stories about the people driving the tech bus. Reach out to him at [email protected].
