The bigger differences are of course on the final restoration image, and the fact that with Rejoined you can CLEARLY show the card from both sides before the restoration without the need to add something to the deck. |

I could find two photos in the trick description: http://www.murphysmagicsupplies.com/imag......alt5.png http://www.murphysmagicsupplies.com/imag......alt3.png And to be honest... For me neither of the cards look like that the two parts together would make a complete card. |

Although I can see how it might be an advantage to those who work close-up and surrounded (I assume your comment means you can do this surrounded and not that you can just show the back to those stood in front of you). My main point though isn't about the handling or method, more to do with the reason for tearing the card in the first place. Tearing two cards, as you do in Fusion, and making those two different cards symbols of the spectators (like a bride and groom or husband and wife for example) and then fusing those two halves of two different cards (or people) together to form a new thing is just a lot stronger in my opinion. It gives meaning to the trick and that has always been the most important thing for me when choosing material. I suppose it would be possible to use a similar premise with Rejoined. But I still think using two different cards is a better way to go for a t&r card effect. So for me, I think Rejoined is cool but it doesn't offer enough to make me want to switch from Fusion.

I want to like it but also have a concern about both halves not fitting with each other.
Is there a way to fix the tearing during the performance to make it more plausible? |

I think this is one of those effects that just can't fool magicians, but will kill lay audiences. It has a strong surprise ending. I try to avoid tricks that require refills, so not sure I'll buy it.

Maybe it's just me but I don't really get a terribly impressive vibe from you somehow magically "glueing" the flat ends of the card together...

Quote by Cameron Francis from this thread. http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......start=30
Has the USPCC changed their minds? [No, they will not print half backs or anything like that on Rider backed cards anymore. Very annoying as I have an awesome trick which now needs to be printed on either Mandolins or Phoenix decks. Having said that, I have really warmed up to Phoenix decks over the years. While at first the design was jarring (hard to change after years of being used to Bikes), I quite like the back design now. Christian does GREAT work, btw. He made the gaffs for my Wallet Transformer effect and they look awesome! Anyway, this effect looks stunning. Congratulations, Axel. VERY nice work] |

Rejoined – João Miranda and Julio Montoro
Product description : anooooooooother TnR ! Well, this is maybe the expression you had when you saw the advertisement for Rejoined but trust me, this is not the same TnR, it has a plot twist, pun intented. The effect is very simple, a card is chosen, spectator signs one half of the back, magician does the same on the other half, card is torn in half. You then restore the cards by the clean ends and with a piece backward ! You have to see it to believe it, it's very visual ! Price and where to buy it : This is sold at $42 and you can find it in João website : http://www.joaomiranda.com/. What you get : You get a small cardboard box, I do like the way it is packed, the design is cool, and the box looks good too. Inside, you get a small card with a link to watch a Youtube explanation video, it's one of the first time I've seen this kind of thing for the explanations. Explanations are well done, straight to camera and you learn everything you need. Also in the box, you can find 60 special printed cards that are meant to be used for this effect, you will need 1 for each performance so you have more than enough for years ! (well, maybe not because this trick is so cool you want to do it over and over again) The cards are not bicycle, you can tell by touching them but if you only look at them, they do look like bicycle playing cards. Overall, for 39€ or $42 dollars, I'm very happy with what I received. Teaser : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ohG_HFYGI The pros and the cons : Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end. THE CONS : - You have to carry gimmicks with you if you want to do this several times. I wouldn't let them in a deck, you wouldn't feel confortable doing your regular routine. - The cards are not bicycle, but I don't think a spectator would notice the difference. - You will need to buy refills if you want to do the trick more than 60 times, I think refills can be bought from João website or if you contact him directly. THE PROS : - I do like the reverse thinking of this trick, which has been done in a similar way before, but here, you're left with an impossible souvenir so people can keep it and remember the moment of magic. - Even if the cards are not bicycle quality, nobody will ever notice it and it's clearly not a problem. - It's highly visual, the moment you restore the card is very nice because you can show your both hands empty ! The clean up is very easy too. - To reset, just put another gimmicked card in your deck and you're ready to go. - They provided you with different gimmicked cards so you won't only do this trick with King of Spades for example, you get 4 different cards, 15 of each so you can do this trick at the next table without tearing the same card ! - It's quite cheap considering the amount you get, each performance will cost you 0.65€ or $0.70. - It's a great present to give away, you can staple it to your business cards so it's a motivation for your audience to keep it ! Overall rating : I can see myself using it, I do love the moment of magic when you restore it and the impossible souvenir you leave, 4/4 hearts. As for the difficulty level, there is little to do but still, you have to do it right for the trick to be convincing, 2/5 stars. Similar products : if you look at T2P by Shawn Farquar, which I love and carry with me at all time, you can get the same kind of effect. Also, Torn Twisted and Restored by Stephen Leathwaith, One Twist Two Fusion by the amazing Axel Hecklau If you liked my review, please check all the other one on my website, link in signature

Great review. Looking forward to receiving mine. I love one twist two fusion by Axel and while the handling for that is visually more magical than Rejoined, Rejoined looks more practical for the real-world.
