This has been a problem for me with several magic dealers. basiclly if murphy's or some distribitor list a item, whiether they have it now or not for 3 months, the shops list them as new items. iv order these types of items and without ever tell me waited months before they ever got the item. this has happened at several shops

I might be wrong here, however I believe that is the reason Blacks offered it direct from there site once they received them. It was only for people on the mailing list so there was no confusion, however it seems that there was confusion on the other end and that is how they ended up be advertised in other places. It is a great effort on blacks part and I think this is the way it should be done in the future.

Got mine today. I'll post a small review as soon as I've had a chance to play with it.

Andrew, (ASW)
The effects on the DVD and lecture notes are far beyond your abilities. (They require mastery of the mechanic's grip.) It would only break your heart.
Sincerely,
Darwin Ortiz.......(This post has got to be in my top 5.)

After watching this, it works something like I thought, but better.
I can't wait to make this up.
I wished I had time to do it before the IBM meeting tonight. I might save it for SAM, and the magician of the year contest.
I'm pretty sure I'm the first if not the only one in my area to get it.
I think it will blow them away.
And I don't work for magicians. But I think this would be good for them.
The DVD explanation is very clear. He goes into very good detail. Even reviews any "moves" you might do before and after the effect.
But the actual torn and restored part of the effect itself is so clean. No "moves". None of the palming of extra pieces. The tearing and restoring is straght forward and to the point.
This is really a plus in my book. The actual tearing and restoring of one single card, with no extra pieces.
Once you actually make it, I believe it will take just a small amount of effort to make this up to perform for walk around. But the effect, in my mind, is worth it.
I think it's a "worker".
I can't wait to put it together and try it.
I'll post again after I make it up and perform it in a few shows. I'll let you know lay audiences reaction.
If you are going to do a torn and restored card, then I would say this is worth getting.

I agree. I just watched the video and it is one of the best methods I have seen. And there are two or three variations included; the advance level presentation is extremely effective. You wont be disappointed.

For those that ordered this and have played with it, how does it compare with TnR from Theory11? I don't want particulars, I already have TnR but am not happy with it if this is a cleaner effect I will definitely be putting this on my list. Thanks

I've viewed the DVD — but so far I have not seen how NOT to go back to the deck for the final part!
I thought that part was worked out and would be explained on the DVD or a purchaser's forum. Can't find either!!

Alternative handling can be found at our forums. You'll need the DVD to locate the password. Just head on over to http://www.blacksmagicgroup.com/forum and it's near the top.

Rather than talking (and asking) about methods in a public forum. I would suggest, if you have purchased it, that you go to the member's forum at our site.

I am sad. I just tried to order this from the blacksmagic site, and evidently they do not have a shipping method for my Canadian address. May I recommend USPS airmail parcel post?
