There are many torn and restored card effects on the market. Most are
difficult, multi-phased, and angle-sensitive. Pros and cons for each
one.
The advantage of RIP is that the ENTIRE effect happens in
ten seconds. You casually tear a card to pieces, then shake the pieces.
They VISIBLY restore, front and back.
What you receive with RIP
is a GORGEOUS handmade gaff that has two positions: in the open position
it looks exactly like a messy pile of pieces, front and back. When it
flips (and locks) closed, it is a normal card, front and back. There are
no threads or parts to break: it's practical and completely reliable.
- Custom hand-made gimmick, ready to perform straight from the box
- Includes 1 hour, 20 minute DVD with many variations
- Full instructions on how to make your own, additional gimmicks
- Surprisingly easy to perform!
RIP
was a sellout at the Blackpool Convention, with dozens of people
walking around "flipping" the gimmicked card closed to create the
illusion of an instant restore. This gimmick is fun. It works itself, is
easy to do, and has no bad angles. If you're looking to add a quick,
visual Torn and Restored moment into your card set, RIP is just for you.
