The Effect
A spectator selects a card, tears it into four pieces (or just sign it), keeps one piece and drops the remaining pieces into an empty envelope, which the magician burns! Two plates of Plexiglass are shown, examined by any spectator, and bound with rubber bands by any spectator. Then these are set in a frame that supports them in mid-air. The magician now steps back and instructs the spectator to throw the remaining cards at the glass. When the cards hit the glass, one card, with a torn corner (or the signed one) appears right before their eyes, between the two plates.


Cost
Varies from £20 to £30, aprox.


Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

Review

The trick comes complete with the gimmick and instructions. The set up is very easy so you should not have any problems.
Some issues:
- You may hear a “strange sound” at the right moment;
- Someone (magician or assistant) must be holding the frame (it’s a pity);
- It requires some practise;
- Not totally examinable;

By doing it right, it’s a very good (and well known) effect.
