Oh my gosh, unless there was a certain slight being done (which I highly doubt) that was one of the closest looking things to magic I've ever seen.
I don't normally get all hyped up about effects, ever, no matter how good and great they are, but I might make an exception for TnR.
I can't wait to get it. In all honesty, I don't care how it's done. The only thing I need to know about an effect is that it's devistating. I want to be able to go out on the streets or up to friends and family and just destroy them with it.

It looks pretty sweet. I love the fact that Chris is actually using a Guardian card! To me, that makes all of the difference. I believe I'll be picking this effect up on day one. Unless there is other things I should look foward to?
By the way...did you get my PM Jonathan?

Why does it matter what card he used?
I didn't mind it, but I think I like the look of Torn better. May I be so bold as to ask what makes this better than Torn?

Ty,
I don't know that it has to be better than Torn in all actuality. It is different than Torn in the handling by quite a bit. What I like the most about Torn is that the card is immediately handed out in a natural fashion after it is restored.
The difference here is that I have seen the total performance of Torn and it looks insane from start to finish. The real test for this TnR is how it looks from start to finish.
I will say I really like the way this was designed but I am not sure how I feel about the card being different following the restoration. I have one simple question regarding it though because it seems a bit confusing. Prior to the tearing is the card chosen the Ace or the Queen? i am sure there is motivation behind the card changing but right now I don't really see how it adds to the overall effect. If I was a spectator I would be more impressed by a card torn into 4 pieces visually restored into a whole card again. If there is motivation behind the change I am all aboard but right now it is just changing for the sake of changing it without any explanation for why it changes.

I'm unsure if this is in any way exposure or anything that should be said, and please feel free to remove this comment if it exceeds what should be said and mentioned here.
During the restorations, Kenner flashes the faces of the peices often -- at around 00:46 seconds into the video the faces of these peices being the Ace of Spades in the Guardian's deck. By the end this is the Queen of Spades. Now I'm wondering if this was intentional as a card-change+restoration, or a mistake? Please shed some light, someone?
Either way, it looks badass - I cannot wait for it to arrive.

In my opinion Torn is the best TnR I've ever seen. It's practical, looks magical and you end so beautifully. The problem I see is that this effect takes it from a true TnR to a psuedo TnR - trnaspo, which unfortunately implants the idea of another card being used.Ty,
