Torn 2 Pieces - Shawn Farquhar

Here's the killer effect Shawn has kept secret for over a decade. It's the effect Shawn does when he wants to get a client to book him again and again! A real photograph, signed by the spectator, is torn into four pieces. The photo is really torn. Then in an instant all four pieces join together but in the wrong order leaving the spectator with a mismatched photo with their signature! That's right their signature is on the odd "almost restored" photo.

You get a sample of the photograph, Adobe Photoshop templates that are almost automatic, jpeg's of additional photo's already prepared, a stock photo library and a detailed instructional DVD that explains how you can start doing this trick and customize it yourself.
(Please note you will need access to an ink jet/laser printer or a digital photo center to make additional photo's. To customize this effect you will also need photo manipulation software such as Gimp or Adobe Photoshop)

Hi Shawn. This effect looks incredible. May I just know if you have to keep making extra photos and printing photos or you can reuse the sample ones that are given?

[ShawnFarquhar]

@IanLeoTV Hey there, it's a real photo and usable once as it is signed by the spectator. The idea is to practice with the two samples and then using the instructions on the DVD you can produce your own photo that is unique to you or your client. The cost of a photo at the time of me writing this is about $0.07 ... not a bad price for a mini miracle...

Hi Shawn, Love this effect. What about starting this with a mismade photo (that came back from the developer mixed up) and then restoring it to it's original unmixed state. Do you think that would be as strong.

Best regards

Sean

@RaisedAce ... in my DVD I discussed this as it was one of my original plots but no one really wants a photo that looks normal ... the mis-made is what makes it special... a souvenir, a memory, a keepsake.

@A99maybe That WOW event from SAM and SYM was quite a fun event. Nice to see there is a bright future for magic ....

[ShawnFarquhar]

@Bigodon Yes it is the same one you helped me to translate when I was in Brazil. This has a lot of improvements since then though!

@MagicAceMatt Creative Magic has a great CD, so does Majinxs, Rand Woodbury, Bill White and a whole bunch of other magicians... You can also write your own as I have done in the past using Garage Band on a MAC.
