This might look good on video but there is so much that you hope the viewers don't see. End dirty
without a card switch. Not the best tnr.

So I really dont like the method, but I mean its easy to make and he teaches a clean up for it.
That being said I hate the method because it would be super obvious. It was one of the few things I
wish I didn't buy.

I don't do a torn and restore really but like most of you I know how they work. This is not a bad
idea by any means but I see where some guys would like a better clean up, be able to hand out the
restored card etc. For me and my small audience it works. No one is floored by it but they do find
it very cool and that works for me. Being able to perform at all angles is a huge plus as well
The card is forced NOT chosen & the Card CANNOT be signed on the face.
Quality of the video
(shooting) is mediocre... but, the explanations are good.
Amazing tnr. Extremely visual and simple at the same time. Th gimmick takes 2 seconds to make. From
those 2 seconds you get some of the best reactions ever. I love this trick. It is going right into
my repertoire.
Great and simple effect, if you're looking for a clean Torn and restored card effect this should get
you covered. I will be adding this to my stage show as it is one of the cleanest version of the
effect out there.
Alan Rorrison has another gem in his hands , which can now be in yours
too :)
Highly recommended and this get the official Drake Bauer seal of approval !
Almost every TNR effect I've seen looks great On the demo and this is no exception. You can see his
hands empty at every phase, which I liked, ALOT, but during the restoration even on the demo, things
just look a little off, and that's on the selected video cut with medium filming quality. I bought
it anyway and doubt I will use this much, favoring Danny Garcias the most {because there is minimal
extra to carry, sequence is well choreographed, and clean up makes sense} and Brent Braun's next
(even though both of these require more practice.) If you want a GIMMICK which goes together
quickly and more perfectly, you should look at rewind by David Stone which also requires some clean
up.
This TNR is just TOO visible during (watch the video again)and dirty at the end. I
would NOT push the envelope trying to do this signed. He goes through clean up that leaves the
spectator with a card that doesn't have a mark or crease on it.....Hmmmm- that may be fun for the
laymen but takes it from the "magic" contemplation zone into the "I wonder where you put the card
you were working with" mindset.
I am writing alot because it CAN work well almost all of
the time (and I'm sure Alan is much better at misdirection), and saves the expense of the REWIND
gimmick. One "fix" I have used in the few times I've tried this, Is to challenge the SPECTATOR to
fold the the card into perfect quarters after they "select" it but before they hand it back to me.
That gives me time for the "get ready" and ultimately returns a card to them that has THEIR folds in
it but MY TEARS are restored. Give it a try!

I am kind of new to magic, and this is the first tnr effect i have bought so far. The setup is a bit
weird, but works very well. Most of us should have the required material used to make it. the trick
looks exactly like it does on camera, and it can be signed if you wish ( i prefer the known signed
version, it's quite a bit easier and cleaner.) The only real negative i have about it is the quality
of the video. You can hear him well and he is a very good teacher, but the picture quality was a bit
of putting. All in all, i do reccomend this highly.

This looks really good and it's easy, but I think I still prefer Brent Braun's version which
requires you to carry a lighter instead of a deck of cards
