I was reviewing the methods I know for a torn and restored bill and I think this is actually the
best. Its really easy, a decent price, the angles are great, it works with a borrowed bill, and you
end clean. What more could you ask for?
The set up- It will take you about 30 seconds to
set up each one, although if you set it up the way Dan recommends (if you can find the product he
likes) then you can set up a bunch in advance and reset privately in about 3 seconds.
I was
unfortunately among the people unfamiliar with the exact product he recommends, although I assume in
a day or two someone will post a link to it on Amazon in the discuss section. For now its a 20-30
second reset for me with the other type of set-up. It seems to last in my pocket fine but I'm not
sure how long you can keep it set up safely.
The angles are very good, but I don't think
I'd want to do this surrounded. Although you can mostly cover for behind you will flash slightly.
However if you are performing walk around, you don't need to worry about someone walking by seeing
exactly how it works.
The visuals on this trick are fantastic. I can't think of a better
torn and restored bill. For some reason torn and restored bills have always been way less visual
than torn and restored cards, which is unfortunate because its much stronger to do magic with a
borrowed bill than your own card. This one is much closer. It really does look like you took their
bill, ripped it, and restored it without anything funny that looks like a switch.
I am also
going to add that I don't think Dan's justification for the card makes sense. How many laymen know
that a card is made of separate layers that are glued together. For now I am sticking with comparing
it to sawing a lady in half. Its not that big of a deal one way or another. The visuals are so good,
and the card is gone so quickly you don't need to worry about it too much.
You should also
just be aware that you will need to destroy two cards every time you do this, which is a small price
to pay for such a miracle.
Dan's teaching is phenomenal as always. I'm sure you'll love
this trick. Enjoy!
