Heres my first review, tell me what you think.

REHAB: real world torn and restored card
Cameron Francis has created one of the most workable and visual torn and restored Card's EVER.
-your spectator selects a card and signs it on it's face.
-You sign the card across the back
-The card is torn into quarters
-Then visually,magically and INCREDIBLY the card is reassembled quarter by quarter.
-And at the end of the trick the spectator can take the miraculously restored card home with them.

-Esy to perform.
-Can be performed almost surrounded.
-One of the most angle friendly piece by piece restorations ever concieved!
-Perfect for strolling and table hopping!
-Simple set up.

This DVD also features FIVE awesome bonus routines:
PROPHETIC- a powerful prediction that hits em with a one-two punch.
X MARKS THE SPOT-four Xs drawn onto the back of four cards all jump onto a selected card. A true stunner.
STRIKING BACKS-a powerhouse, small packet all backs routine.
A STRANGE VISIT-A vistor-esque routine with a huge twist.
WARPED FUSION-A cool tunnel/fusion effect that will leave your spectators speechless!

Two stars for difficulty. Its very easy to do.

Angles: The angles are really good, Cameron has done a great job with this routine. You can perform it nearly 180 degrees surrounded. You can't have anyone behind you but, hey how mant TnR routines are there that you can.
Set up: There are no massive set up and, although you will need to make a gaff for each performance they are quick and easy to make, taking
about a minute for each one.
Visuals:Exellent, it's almost like you see WHEN the pieces fuse together, another thing I like is that you can show the card on both sides freely when 3 pieces have been restored.It gets stunning reactions when you slide the final piece into place.
DVD: Another high quality production from big blind media, i especially like that you can watch a whole performance from your point of view so learning is really easy. The filming is really clear and you also get nice crisp close up shots of the moves. Another top job Owen!

BONUS TRICKS:
Ill only give reviews for the ones I have performed.Sorry!

STRIKING BACKS: This is a really good packet effect involving a selection and 4 jokers each one turns face down then the whole packet looks like just backed cards, then they all change into ACES. Drop them on top of the pack and the selection becomes sandwhiched in between the aces.
This gets nice reactions and is a great trick, try it out if you get the dvd.

A STRANGE VISIT: You place the selection inbetween 2 Jacks and place them under the case. You then take the remaining jacks and wave them over the case, the selection appears visually in between the jacks, you then show that all the remaining cards have changed into the mates of the selection! I think! This is a very crisp and clear trick And very commercial,the kicker ending gets the specs every time

Final Verdict
Effect 9/10 ( I don't wan't to give ten as this is my first review)
Bonus effects 8/10 ( because I haven't performed them all yet!)
DVD 10/10 another cracker from big blind media

I got a pre-release of this last year and completely forgot about it until now (sorry, Owen!).
