Cornered

Price: not sure right now.

Available From: erm, all over the place.

Dificulty probably a 2/5 ish, you might not be able to do it right out of the pack but it won't take much effort to get it right.

Effect This is a visible restored corner routine, in short you tear off the corner of a card and then visibly 'throw' it back onto the card. There is probably a video on JBTV.co.uk as they make it.

Review
As usual with the JB magic this is a nice idea and very visual effect. Unsurprisingly it consists of a gimicked card. The method of working is pretty clever, but does render the card unexaminable. However, it is possible to show the card both sides in very close proximity to your spectator, probably close enough that they might remember examining it if you tell them later that they did!

Overall
Not really my thing, I would prefer to use sleight if hand to do this, but for anyone who doesn't wan to go down that route this would be a great trick. As I said, I don't actually own this so I will mark it as if it were something that I would want to own. If I wanted to use a gimmick I would be very pleased with this, I'd give it 8/10 'cos it would be nice to have an examinable gimick (it always is isn't it!) but a quick switch would sort you out on that score.
