What they say
" The Highly Anticipated Release is HERE.
"The idea rocks, Clean, Simple, Effective and most of all baffling." (Daniel Madison)
A completely impromptu twist on the common tear and restore plot.
A card is selected and signed from a regular or borrowed deck. The card is held at finger tips and a lighter is introduced.
A portion of the card is burnt away, leaving half a card in the magician's hand.
With just a wave, or even a blow the SIGNED card fully restores and is given out as a souvenir." (

my initial thoughts
When I first recieved this PDF, I thought 'That's sweet! how come I didn't think of that?' as I continued to reaqd through, I found the Dee explained everything in full detail
I will give this a... sweet!
Gimmick?
There is no gimmick! there is a slight setup though, which you can do during performance..
pre-awesome
Effect
The effect, after trying it out, is a little bit angly, but some of those angles are covered by the fire. But this effect will TAKE PRACTICE. There are really only twqo 'moves' here, and one of them, if it doesn't look right, you're doing it wrong. the other is just a little bit hard for me. I don;t know why. so.....
amazing
Overall
Overall, this effect is not a must-buy. but if you are into card magic, and you want a great and impromptu Tear and restore card, get Cinders instead. it's a Great and impromptu Burned and restored card. and fire makes everything better!
