Magic Tricks

The experienced mentalist won’t pick up anything particularly new here. I thought this was a realtime read, but it isn’t. This is the classic center tear with some extra ideas for handling the open and read sequences. I find them to require too many dependencies — gesture requirements and accessory requirements. For a less fussy version of the classic center tear, I would recommend Bill Abbott’s Penguin Lecture. He also covers the best justification for tearing the paper that I’ve ever seen. For a realtime tear, I recommend T Rex. That being said, there is nothing wrong with this instructional video. It’s a decent and affordable tutorial for a beginner. Those with more experience may be disappointed.
