I know you guys have been waiting for a review. Background: I have been into magic for about 17
years on and off. So I have seen tricks.
Love it!
-Angles: It is a piece-by-piece T&R,
so pretty much the same as all the others, a little less than 180 degrees, they can not be watching
from the back, but I mean at this point we all know that.
-Easy to carry! You do not need
an extra deck just for this trick—just a pocket to keep the gimmick. If you have space in your
pocket for a half-a-dollar coin, you have enough space for the gimmick to fit. No extra cards, you
do not damage anything other than their signed card.
-No Force: Let them go crazy, sign it.
-End Clean: By the time you give them the restored card,
it's game over. I did not
see them says it in the explanation but you have the sharpie they sign the card with, pick it up,
put it in you pocket, you are clean.
-Easy to do: I have not received the gimmick yet, but
knuckling busting will need practicing but nothing crazy.
So if you are not 15 anymore and
don't have that much time to practice it will not be a problem.
It is a worker, for real
for real.

I'm surprised no one has reviewed this.
I'm a hobbiest, but will put in the practice. It's
not difficult, and there are two handlings in the tutorial. If you like what you see in the trailer,
buy it.
I've watched the video twice. The first explanation from the spectator 's view may
not be clear from the foldout and false count. It's easier to understand from the magician's view
later.
It's solidly built, so it should last. You end with their signed card "restored" as
a gift.

In my humble opinion this is without a doubt the best TNR on the market. I collect every single one
I stumble upon I have just gobs and gobs of them. I feel this is the last one this beats them all.
And worth every penny spent. The video is well done and easy to follow directions. Well done
gentlemen well done indeed.

I've performed a few different TNR's in my time and this one is by far the most visual and most
practical. The gimmick provided is very well thought out and is durable.
This is not your
average TNR...I dare to say you won't find another quite as convincing as Corner Piece.

I love this routine! Finally, I'm able to perform a torn and restored routine that looks very
similar to "The Reformation" by Guy Hollingworth without having to go through all the calisthenics
of the original routine.
Years ago, I bought Guy Hollingworth's "Drawing room deceptions"
mainly so I could learn his T&R routine of the aforementioned name. I was somewhat discouraged when
I saw all that was involved. The tear itself took about thirteen pages to describe by itself. I
did actually learn the tear part, but got worn out before learning the restore part.
If
you want to go with that routine, all the more power to you. But now, we have a routine where the
moves are WAY fewer and much easier to boot. The no pocket routine is still somewhat difficult, but
it's nothing like the Hollingworth routine as far as difficulty.
I had this thing down in
about a day and a half. I am immediately adding it to my repertoire and I also might add that the
routines that are included with this are nearly worth the price of the trick itself. Highly
recommended!

A beautiful visual piece of magic at your fingertips! It does require some level of practice to get
it down but nothing too difficult. Excellent instructional video as well great job!

The method seems to be great. I have no way of doing it, though. Many tricks have work arounds for
me, but this one does not. You have to be very nimble to get the moves down. This one,
unfortunately, goes into my bin of no return for magic tricks.

I've owned various different methods over the years and this is one of the easiest to perform.
Highly recommended.

I've been using Cameron Francis' Rehab effect for TnR card. I was intrigued by this effect for not
having to force a card, not use a duplicate. and the special eye candy of mismatched
mid-restoration, Difficult to follow instructions. Clunky handling with keeping edges crisp (at
least in my hands). If I decide to stick with it and keep watching the instructions (probably
won't), I will replace one of the gimmicks from the hobby store. Will likely stick with the Rehab
TnR which is also available on Penguin.

Five stars. This is brilliant. Very clever. Unfortunately if not for me at this time. There are
wonderful effects out there involving this concept but you can also do this with a thought of card
but let that sink in. The knowledge shared in this project definitely worth looking into, especially
when it's two different people sharing their ideas and methods. So you get two different peoples
perspectives of things you can do with this. It's clever and if you want to know more methods for
tarc. Get it
