With the very recent unveiling of the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-tech-products) iOS 5 software, this video is sure to delight and convince many consumers.

Magnificent magician Simon Peirro is an expert when it comes to magic tricks of any sort. The talented trickster is practiced in traditional magic forms, and is also widely praised for his digital magic performances. Pierro performs some digital magic for his [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-underdogs) audience, excitedly displaying the new Apple iOS 5 software on his [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peek-performance). His tricks are mind-baffling; it's interesting to see as Pierro pulls objects out of the screen, drinks from the screen and changes the hairdos of newswomen on a television program on the iPad.

Pierro's whimsical show definitely has me excited about the Apple iOS 5 release; this video is proof of why Pierro has been nicknamed the "Wizard of OS."
