I just watched this all the way through. Before I delve in, Alan is a mate of mine but, as any of you that know me know that this will not effect my honesty in review of this effect. With that said, lets jump in.
TnR is a plot close to my heart. It's one of the first effects I seen, that got me in to close up magic and I also have my own handling of the plot on the market. So every time I see a new one pop it, I'm instantly intrigued to see if it stands up to my high standards. For me, the most important elements to a TnR routine are; Cleanly aesthetics, natural motivated movements throughout and most importantly practicality. I'm not going get in to if the video is HD or if the editing is like hollywood films, I'm only interested to can learn the routine with all the nuances and tips easily, this video certainly does the job. So, for someone like myself who performs a lot I know what will work on laymen and what simply won't. I just want to say that this will certainly FRY lay audiences and importantly, leave you set up to hop straight to the next table and repeat it instantly. Massive bonus. There is a "gimmick" but it's very easy to construct, should only take a couple of minutes and will last you loads of performances. Getting in to the actual effect is natural, motivated, easy and there's no heat on you. The tearing and restoration of the card looks and will always look as clean as it is in the trailer. It's really something miraculous to watch. The part of the effect that I was worried about (where a mountain of TnRs fall down) was covered by Alan, really really well. More importantly, it's natural and the reasoning actually makes sense for once. No need for "fire" or any nonsense, just simple, logical reasoning, with natural movements and motivation that will just fly straight past a laymen. Signing cards, IMO, is for magicians to fool magicians really, knowing from first hand experience with performing TnR's, it's totally unnecessary. Saying that, Alan covers how to do it signed and it's actually pretty much exactly the same handling, so signed or not signed, the entire routine looks clean and impossible either way. Overal, this is about as clean as a Torn and Restored card is ever going to get for us "workers" out there. Most importantly for me, it's REALLY practical for walk around gigs. This is something that you will download, learn and ACTUALLY be able to go out and perform easily, unlike many of the TnR's out there today. For the price and the use you'll get out of this, its a *** bargain! Anyone interested in this plot should pick it up as soon possible before it disappears, you'll definitely learn something from it and it'll get all of your creative juices flowing to work on your own handling. Brilliant work, Al. Lloyd |

Having worked on/with several T&Rs that look very similar, this is the line that interests me the most:

Lloyd Barnes, thank you very much for posting your opinion. It means a great deal!
I watched the demo for the fifth time and it looks so good. Maybe the best yet in the T&R plot. |

Seriously guys...let's end the fishing trip before it begins.
I am so thrilled with this, I don't know where to begin! Repair is the answer to my hopes and dreams concerning the T&R plot. Workable anywhere, in any conditions...and most important...it looks like MAGIC and NOT like sleight of hand! The true litmus test was performing it for my wife, who has seen numerous T&R's that I've broken my back trying to perfect over the years. She was silent after watching this one (that means she had no clue! Yippee!!!) Alan--If you ever find yourself in St. Louis, Missouri--look me up...I've got your bar tab all night! You deserve it! Congrats...and most importantly--THANK YOU for releasing this effect. Keith Jozsef |

Just finished purchasing and watching the download. I doubt I will use this except for maybe in a video demo. Just my opinion, but I can't say I am as thrilled with the method as those on the first page of the thread are. Just being honest. I am sure just like most things in magic there will be people who love it and those like myself that don't.

Again from someone who goes out and gets paid to perform, I believe this is the sort of effect which NEEDS a signature to make people believe. Everyone has their own opinions on this, but I have had so many people when I have performed T & R say 'But I signed it, so he couldn't have switched it!'. I have also done other versions which don't require a signature, and heard people say 'You must have switched it', and even if I didn't switch it, that is what they will believe in their head so they can be happy. When I think about my Magic, I think 'If I was a layman, how would I believe that was done'. Certain effects require signatures to reinforce you are doing what you saying you are doing, which in this case, is ripping up THEIR card, and the exact same card is put back together, that itself to a layman is impossible...do it without a signature and the only thing they can think of is it must have been switched. |
