"Fujiwara displays a playing card, a knife, and a long thin ribbon. He folds the playing card in half and tears a small hole in its center. He opens the playing card out flat and lays the ribbon across it longitudinally so it passes directly over the hole. The blade of the knife is slid beneath the playing card, and the card and ribbon are folded in half around the knife. He grasps the handle of the knife and slices smartly through the folded edge of the playing card, cutting both it and the ribbon in half. The knife is placed aside and the two halves are spread slightly to display the separate pieces of card and ribbon. With a shake, the pieces of card are allowed to fall to the table and the ribbon is seen to be fully restored."

Mr. Fujiwara has always been my favorite magician/creator because of his outside the box thinking in magic. As with his creations in "Five Times Five Japan" and "New Magic of Japan," this item is certainly good enough to be included in either of those tomes.
