Have you ever come across a torn and restored card effect where you used tape to restore the card? Something like "ok I've torn the card, now I'll restore it" and you pull out a roll of tape.

Doesn't sound all that magical to me...More like a Tommy Cooper thing?
Am I missing something?

I think Sankey does something like that - but when the tape is pealed off - the card is genuinely restored.

It has a nice laugh moment (and yet remains magical).

John Archer has a Torn and Restored effect where he staples the card back together. Great comedy routine with a cool, magical ending.

That's exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about.

I seem to recall that the restored version of Color Fusion relies on similar - but I may be wrong (hope that isn't exposure :oops:

).

If someone doesn't come along and confirm then I'll dig out the DVD and let you know

To be honest I'm not too interested in learning any effects like this, I was just wondering whether its been done.

Paul Harris used to tape the last torn piece of the card to the restored three quarters, saying: "Hey, I'm not a magician!". I believe the late Tommy Wonder had his own variation on this Paul Harris trick.
