Hi Guys:


I once saw a clip showing Whit Hayden performing Torn and Restored Newspaper in Magic Castle - where he indicated that all magicians were merely pretending that they were tearing the nespaper which in actual fact they were not.

Whit then proceeded to tear the newspaper and said that the tearing was just an illusion. At one part, he used his tougue to lick one piece of newspaper to "glue back" the papers. Subsequently, all the torn newspapers were magically restored and Whit received huge applause.

Can someone please tell me what version of T & R newspaper was Whit using? Is the restored newspaper examinable? And is this version suitable for close up?

Thanks!

To me it looks like the Gene Andersen version.

Whit is a Café member. How about asking him directly via PM?
