Go into the Magicard settings menu and adjust settings such as touch and click on display of the card, as well as any animation moves you might want to incorporate.

TIP: Tap the phone once with the card on it, reminding the audience that you did not do anything to the iPhone during this trick.
Step 6: Remove the card from the screen
