The Center Tear

Can anyone offer advise on where to find a good book or video/ dvd version on the center tear, how it's done, and some applications? I saw Osterlind has either a book or video called "Perfect Center Tear" (?). Any reviews on this or others? Thanks, Al

I learned it in "A Complete Idiot's Guide To Magic Tricks." That will give you the basics. But that's all I know..

Thanks Jamberry, I had forgotten about that book. It was one that a friend gave me when I first got into magic about 6 years ago. I went to my bookshelves and found it to reread and add some forgotten things into my act again.

Or for some serious insight in the Center tear you could try Annemans "Practical Mental Magic" or Corinda's "13 steps to mental magic"

There's also quite a bit of material on it in Waters' Mind, Myth & Magick, as well as Baker's Mental Magic (reprinted in The Secret Ways of Al Baker, which is an amazing book). With that said, Osterlind is a master, and you can't go wrong with his booklet.

Mark Wilsons Complete Course in Magic covers the center tear and TONS of other stuff as well.....
