REALLY torn and restored!

I'm working on a new effect where a card is selected, signed BOTH sides and REALLY torn in half. The card is then restored in front of their eyes.

Unfortunately i ripped my prototype before filming... so i just filmed the restoration to see what it looks like.

I only use ONE card and there are NO DUPLICATES or extra pieces. No pulls, gadgets or widgets of any kind. The card that is signed and ripped is the same one that gets handed back.

I'm still having prolems with this routine but i'm getting close to preparing a commercial version.

Comments are welcome.

this is the first move in daniel garcias torn.

you did not make it up!

you make me sick, copying daniel garcias trick.

[nuts4magic2]

What the hell are you talking about dumb ass? Get your facts right first bone-head then come back and apologise. Do you think Daniel Garcia is the first person to work on a torn and restored card effect????? He's just reworked an existing torn & restored effect. I've worked on my own version here!

is the gimmick a piece of tape?

[nuts4magic2]

No tape but it uses a card folded in half that is sticky so that when i flip the folded card back over it bonds and hold the card together very firmly.

the trick is this . first get 2 same cards lets say 10 of clovers all u do if fold one card in half. then to the other card u cut it in half and use only one half of it. then the illusuion is that u use ur hand like u can see in the tape at 0.08 and with that hand u unfold the full card with ur thumb this guy sucks can u can see the unfolding movement he makes so its obvious. then u just get rid od the replica half card u used. thats it.

Sorry but you're way off there...i've already explained how i made the gimmick in my other video.

tape

i know daniel garcia did combine a couple tricks to get his effect, and yes he isnt the only person to do a torn and restored effect, but this is still to basic to be a good trick, people would figure it out easily.

[hellraiserkev]
