Hey Guys,
I recently purchased Torn Too from penguinmagic, and here's my take on it.

Well first off, let me say, this is REALLY clever. It's one of those things that when you
see the method you slap yourself in the face thinking, "Why didn't I come up with that!?"
With a little bit of practice, this is definitely going into my TNR routine.

Performances:
The performances in this download/DVD are very funny, and amusing.
Danny has a very fun patter he uses and obviously does a great job
handling his spectators.

Quality:
The quality of the teaching section is Ok. I have a feeling the demo was filmed after the actual
trick was.. like LONG after. The quality of the demo is incredible! The actual DVD, not so much.
BUT It's totally easy to understand, and it is clear enough. My one complaint, is the cameras were
very shake at some parts...

Method:
Like I said, the method is awesome!
I will be performing this, it's just so cool! Pretty much like everything else Danny puts out, haha
The gimmick is easy to make, and it will last you quite a bit of performances.
This is not hard to do, it's just a little tricky at one part. But don't worry, a few days of practice and
you'll be healing cards with your eyes closed!

Overall, I really enjoyed this. It's entertaining to watch, and very clear.
The method is smart, and practical. I highly recommend this!
Thanks guys,

Calvin Lauber

Thanks for the review.
I'm still waiting for mine but it sounds like I will love it.

You mentioned a gimmick, is it practical to carry? Does it make the trick impromptu (just add the gimmick)?

Now THAT is funny - "it's impromptu, just add the gimmick"

As danny garcia says in the trailer for Torn Too, all you need to do is carry your deck of cards and you're set, if you need to use the deck for other effects you can ditch fairly easily when getting the cards out.

Exactly what Xtasy0 said. It's very easy to carry, and the spectators are looking right at it, but
have no clue. It's THAT good. haha
And if you want to be all strict, no this isn't impromptu. It is for me however, because I pretty much attached
the gimmick to my body. I never leave home without it!

Calvin Lauber

Yeah, I know how it sounds but thanks for answering my questions. One more: is it worth breaking the bank or can I wait till I get paid again? Give me you honest opinion whether or not this is a must have...now or later.

You know I really can't answer that, it's more of an opinion thing.
Here's the deal. The method is as cool as the effect. So if you watch the demo and think
It is something you'll be performing, then yes. Get it.

Does the gimmick last permanently? Or is it simple enough for the usual DIY?

This really is one of those slap in the face methods were you were angry that you didn't think of this. I have had the gimmick for a while but really didn't get into it, not cuz I didn't like it, cuz I was waiting for more subtlties on this effect. Plus I tend to do TORN alone but yeah this is a good effect. and very visual if I might add.

While I wouldn't say it would last forever, It will last you
a pretty long time.

I do not personally own the effect, but I have been told that the same effect is taught in "The TEARable Sessions" by Ben Williams. It also has 2 other TnR effects on it, so if money is an issue, I'd probably get that instead (because of higher quantity of effects, and lower price). Can anyone verify this for me/us?

Tearable Sessions teaches a similar effect with a similar gaff. They are not exactly the same.

Tearable Sessions is worth picking up, as well as Torn Too.

Just purchased the download and watched Torn Too. Very clever gimmick!
This will definitely go into my routining. VERY VERY NICE !!!!

I think the video was filmed the same day as Greed was filmed.

The video quality could have been better but that being said you get ALL you need and the content was great. loved the bloopers
