A spectator freely selects any playing card

The card is torn into quarters - by the spectator

The spectator holds the torn peaces sandwiched between both hands

At the performers command, the card is fully restored

Notes from Daniel about RIP

Everything happens in the spectators hands


The only thing that the performer does is count the peaces one by one into the spectators hand, everything else is done by the spectator. As soon as they close their hand around the torn peaces your done and dusted... They can even keep the card as a souvenir!

This can be applied to any card from any deck of cards

It's a very easy to make concept that allows you to apply it to any deck of cards.

The 14-page fully-illustrated document will talk you step by step through each stage of this easy to do miracle

The book teaches 5 different variations as well as a bonus torn and restored Bill

Although you will need a PK device (PK RING | M5 | RAVEN etc) to accompany the effect, RIP is as easy and effective as it says on the cover with absolutely no risk of failure!

------------------------------------------------------------------

I know, I know... another darn T&R magic release, and hot on the heels of Huron Low's release. Before you make you judgement and hit the back button please give it a chance. I know we as magicians get inundated with various reworkings of clasic effects, but I truly believe that Daniel Madison has created a superb street magic delivery method here, that many will find a lot easier and practical than Huron's equally impressive release.

To answer everyone's question... yes it does exactly what it says on the tin! The magic happens in the specs hands (with the help of a little A of M)

To sum it up nicely... a great little effect that I believe will find many practical uses in peoples reps. I am certainly looking forward to using this at corporate shows, and just generally at parties. Now as the blurb states, you will need a PK device, but the beauty of this e-book is that you learn how to make your own s**m cards (which is a great bonus for those who have always wanted to avoid paying the high price for dealership ones!).

I have already had a practice with the bonus effect involving a torn and restored bill, and know I am going to have great fun applying this to other effects in my ever expanding repetoire.

Effect 10/10 (cant fault it)

p.s. a big thank you to Mr Madison for not selling the rights to some large corporate magic production company, and keeping this low key and in the secret magicians fraternity... when you read the intro notes you'll see what I mean.

I appreciate your efforts in writing a review, it's good. However, there is a thread created already on this product (and with CUT as well).

You can find it here: http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic18683.php.
You can always check the Review index sticky for easier searching.

BTW...Mr. Madison is now part of a big magic company, Theory 11. It's like Ellusionist in many ways IMO. But I do appreciate Mr. Madison's work, already bought a lot of his ebooks.
