I have always been somewhat perplexed by magicians' exclamations that Guy's 'The Reformation' is too difficult. It's really not difficult at all.

Mind you, I'm someone who considers my card skills to be very good, but there are many things that I don't do and that I find to be much, much more difficult than Guy's trick (i.e., bottom dealing, second dealing). In fact, every piece-by-piece, signed card restoration that came in its wake was always more convoluted and difficult in handling, or sacrificed an important element.

I think Wayne's solution is very nice, and practical, but really no more practical than Guy's, and this is one bit of magic where I feel that the signature strengthens the effect immensely.
Do correct me if I'm wrong. But Wayne's does not employ a signed card, right?

Well, you could always use a decoy, but then they'd see the burnt card

I've heard from many over the years who have been interested but have yet to make it to my lecture - which is why I decided to make a few available. Enjoy! Wayne Hi Wayne! I got Counterfeit Hollingworth and I have been practicing it like crazy but the second piece restoration always sticks out. How come??
