I am going to learn it.
I am going to not give up.
I am going to have it down well enough to perform.
I am not going to have get half way and decide anything else is better.

Yeah, but do you like it?

by **Lenoir** » May 24th, '09, 11:51

Having seen it performed on two occasions, once of stage, once opposite me in a bar by the man himself, I can safely say, I love it.

Innuendo ripe.

What do you think of Dani Daortiz's TnR? I think it's called Matrix Restored. If I were ever to try and learn one, his would be my choice.

It is nice, I'm not a huge fan of his style but he is obviously very talented. I would like to be able to be without a table for a torn and restored routine and Hollingworths is just brilliant.

What's your style though? You honestly don't strike me as someone who would come across in the way Hollingworth does - he's extremely... school-teachery? Would you alter the presentation of Reformation?

i think its "mouthy teenager" normally...

Doesn't Reformation require some 'mouth' ?!

My style is far from Hollingworth's but even further from Dani's. I am a very tidy magician, you can probably see where from.

Of course I am going to alter the presentation, I never perform effects in the same style as the creator.

Well all I can say is good luck to you. It is ridiculuosly hard, as you probably know! But for ease, I would probably have to stick with Dan Garcia's Torn, or Yves Doumergue's Ripped & Restored, as some people may call it :lol:

by **Lenoir** » May 25th, '09, 11:53

I have learnt the "tearing" phase of the routine, I spent a good few hours last night committing the sequence to memory. Today I'm going to go over the "restoring" part several times with the book in front just to get the idea and slowly commit that to memory.

Soon after, I shall begin to perfect each move!

The exquisite Mr Michael Vincent, I would hazard

Oh man, excellent call. This is probably my favourite card trick in the whole world.

There's some great videos of him performing it too, like this one. And this one. I'm well jealous, I wish I could watch him do it in person.

Old topic but for anyone interested there is a copy of the Video Tape up on eBay!
