“Very Impressive, Shawn!” -Ellen Degeneres

"Torn 2 Pieces transcends a magic trick and becomes real magic- it alters someone's reality in a permanent way, and is a timeless effect that I plan to use." -Joshua Jay

"Melting people's brains isn't really my thing... but if it was, I'd perform Torn 2 Pieces." -Eric Buss

"Torn 2 Pieces is the perfect MIRACLE for any event." -ICE McDonald

"I've performed Torn 2 Pieces with the photo of a CEO of a very big corporation and people could not stop talking about it afterwards! " -Johan Stahl

“Torn and restored plots are the crack/cocaine of magic. T2P is top quality Breaking Bad kinda stuff. I’m pretty sure this trick is made in an RV somewhere in the desert. (Translation: It’s damn good!)” -Bizzaro

"A true example of thinking out of the box! The method is so far beyond the scope of reason, that what really gets Torn 2 Pieces is the mind of the spectator with no hopes of repairing any thread of reality after witnessing such an unexpected and personal effect." -Michael Dardant

"Shawn fooled me badly with his T2P. I've made it my close-up opener and have performed it literally thousands of times; most of the time the reaction is so strong that I stop there and it becomes my closer as well." -Vincent Hedan

“Shawn Farquhar’s Torn 2 Pieces is astonishing, and the epitome of memorable. It’s what magic should be.” -David Regal

"Torn 2 Pieces is a professional routine from a real working pro. As great as it looks on film, it is even more amazing live and leaves your spectator with an amazing souvenir that traps the moment of magic in time forever. This is the kind of routine that other professionals get excited about because its practical and it leaves a powerful impression long after your gone. If you're looking for jaw dropping magic then look no further." -Chris Randall

"This is what magic should look like!" -Tony Chris

"Torn 2 Pieces is a really great trick and I wish Shawn would just keep quite about it." -Stephen Bargatze

"Torn 2 Pieces is simply brilliant. A perfect combination of strong magic with a touch of emotion. Your audience will love it!" -Boris Wild

"Torn 2 Pieces is much more than a trick; it's a way for me to create a magical moment in time with my audience that they'll never forget. It's a must have for any serious Magical entertainer." -Oscar Munoz

"The impact on the audience is priceless." -Sean Bogunia

"The reaction is almost visceral and I haven’t left it out of a close-up show since I started doing it several years ago." -Marc DeSouza

"This is so commercial!" -David Penn

"This is really really strong. It really creates a personal moment with the audience. I'm going to do it with a picture of my dog." -Craig Petty

"Torn 2 Pieces is my go-to close-up trick when I really have to impress someone. The gimmick is diabolical, the handling is foolproof and the response from spectators is jaw-dropping! It's the ultimate magic souvenir." -Mike Bent

"This is a fantastic effect that magicians can use to tell stories, make a point and use to entertain. I really like it, and Shawn Farquhar has got me inspired and thinking. I won't be surprised if I find myself presenting this effect in the near future." -Wayne Kawamoto

This is the killer effect Shawn had kept secret for over a decade. It’s the effect Shawn does when he wants to get a client to book him again and again!

A real photograph, signed by the spectator, is torn into four pieces. The signed photo is REALLY torn. Then in an instant all four pieces join together but in the wrong order leaving the spectator with a mismatched photo with their signature! That’s right, their signature is on the odd “almost restored” photo.

What you get?



  • A sample of the photograph

  • Adobe Photoshop and GIMP templates that are almost automatic

  • Jpeg's of additional photo's already prepared

  • A stock photo library

  • A detailed instructional DVD that explains how you can start doing this trick and customize it yourself


Please note



You will need access to an ink jet/laser printer or a digital photo center to make additional photo’s. Customization requires a computer and photo manipulation software. Templates in the DVD Rom section are in .psd and .xcf format. Recommended applications include Adobe® Photoshop CS2 through to CS5 and GIMP. The templates do not work properly with Adobe® Elements.

Running Time Approximately: 1hr 13min

Must Have Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 31st, 2012
This is a must have to keep in your wallet for an impromptu effect. I came up with a totally killer idea. It works to well with the methodology of this effect, I had to share. If you purchase Torn 2 Pieces you will understand the method. He teaches you how to create your own needed prop, so try this: Create a prop using his methods and your business card. Now, you can give away your business card in a torn and restored way that will blow people away!
A must have!

So much fun to perform Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 18th, 2011
I can't believe there haven't been any other reviews on this effect. I bought this from Penguin a couple of months ago, and have performed it for many people. Almost all of them have been totally baffled as to how I have restored the photo. A really nice trick, and Shawn Farquhar teaches every subtlety and technique perfectly! As soon as I saw him perform it on the "Ellen DeGeneres" show, I just had to find out how it was done. It is now my favourite trick to do, when someone asks to "see a trick". Buy it, you won't be disappointed!

The Real Deal Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 27th, 2015
I have looked at this for a couple of years contemplating if I should get it or not. The idea of having to have a program to make the gimmicks wasn't my idea of something I would like. I was wrong. This is an absolute killer effect! There are ways around having to purchase a costly Adobe program, and even a free version that Shawn explains in the video. Even still, Shawn provides a selection of a couple ladies and a couple of men, that is suitable for either a male or female magician to get the effect going right away. They are ready to be copied. Just run down to your nearest Fed Ex with the photos loaded on a flash drive, take your own 8 x 10 photo paper, and have two prints of what Shawn provides put on each paper, and it will only cost you about 60 cents per copy. That is enough to do the effect 4 times each sheet. Probably less expensive than what you can do it for on your own printer because of the price of ink. I had a couple of questions and I wrote to Shawn and he responded with some great advice and was very helpful. Lets face it...a lot of us base a very high percentage of our magic on card tricks or card manipulation. This is a very refreshing addition to spice up any routine. Use it as a closer and your name will be mentioned for a long time. This effect is The Real Deal. I missed out not putting it into my repertoire a couple of years ago, but I will do it forever now. If you only buy one piece of magic to add to your act this year, this should be it. Thanks for sharing it Shawn!

Great Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 10th, 2012
This trick is fabulous because it's so easy to both carry around with you and do not to mention that it gets terrific reactions and last but not least ...you can customize it. Shawn shows you how to create your own T2P photos step by step, it's as if he's hanging out with you right at your house and he's helping you learn the effect in the most personal manner explaining every little detail and nuance. This trick gets the reactions it does because once you customize it for your intended spectator, it becomes something very personal.

Completely Ingenious Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 12th, 2016
This trick is absolutely incredible. You tear a photograph up and restore it- but wrong! It's such a surreal image at the end that they get to keep.

My favorite part is the extremely thorough and well paced teaching from Shawn Farquhar. He goes over every little detail in making this effect work.

I also love that you can do this trick with literally any photograph! The fact that the photograph is signed and examinable at the end makes this an absolutely fooling giveaway.

It's so surreal, and it gives them a handout that will keep them scratching theirs heads for years to come.

Visual! A fooler! One of my new favorites. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 3rd, 2015
A really clever idea that really stumped me when I first saw it. The DVD provides what you need so you can easily customize it to use your own photos. Can easily keep your own photos in your wallet so you can always be ready to do a great trick on the spot. Stunned some people at a party today. This is now going to be one of my favorite on the spot tricks to perform now.
