pffff.... so many dumb responses, instead of stupid theories go out and buy Drawing Room Deceptions and learn how it is really done.

@magicrev Well, thats a common misconception about TnR. The card doesn't have to be different - and in the end it can be handed out (just not signed). The change is like you say, an "extra" climax used in a seperate prediction routine - I'm sure you know all that already, just wanted to add that for other readers. I do agree that Hollingsworth version is brilliant, just not for me. I've been able to tweak a few things with TnR to customize a routine that suits me for my performances.

@PabloBristly Matthew Bich's TNR is awful. You restore the card, then it show it's a different card... why? Surely that just suggests to the spectator that it's not the same card you tore up? The extra climax pretty much gives them them a solution to how it works. This however, whilst awkward in places, is brilliant. At least the have proof it's the same card as it was at the beginning.

I've never actually liked this version of the T&R card because there are several times during the routine that the hand movements are suspicious and a little unfair. But this is probably because I'm thinking from a non-laymens point of view. I like Mathieu Bich's version the best of all T&R's because of the fair and extremely easy handling.
