Yeah don't buy TnR and expect to perform it a lot... for people other than yourself, I mean.

There's a torn and restored card called Ryped and Fryed. It's built around the age old idea of sawing a woman in half. It's a real fooler I've found. Bad news is it's on True Astonishment so you'll have to fork out some bucks to get it. I'm not sure if it's published anywhere else.

Good luck

Sawing a woman in half principle?

I almost want to buy it just to see that.

Actually my FAVORITE T&R is actually Holy Grail by Jordan Johnson.

My most performed Torn and Restored card effect and worth looking into as well.

Well,

The patter that the inventor uses is about sawing a woman in half (he usually rips up one of the queens and restores it). Other than that it's just a torn and restored card. It plays REALLY well though and people seem to like the idea of the story.

the only one I do is torn but not forgotten by anthony miller. The card is only torn in half but it is very convincing, quick, and easy to do. Reparation by John Lovick is good too but for me leaves more to be desired in the resoration of the last piece. I also saw one where you "peel" the signature off visually but I can't remember who put it out.

That must be "unripped", and there's a version where you peel the signature off. but that is one of the worst T&R in terms of setup, method and practicality.
TORN is fantastic, relatively easy, no force, and signed front and back. but a tad angly.
Rehab is REALLY good as well. very practical, much better angles.
TORN Too, not a real favourite of mine, the restoration is a bit finicky for me.
Reparation is really easy, fairly practical, but Rehab beats it in pretty much every way.
Fire in the hole by Huron low is pretty good. very comprehensive 2DVD set on the whole thing. visual visual stuff. I love everything with fire. The ideas are really good. there's even an advance handling where you can show the piece with the spec's signature on it! setup is a little more complicated, but its not too bad.
Torn but not forgotten is ok. again, Rehab is the one to go for here. sorta similar concept to TORN too....sorta.
Belly of the beast from Sankey is pretty easy, no frills T&R.

Also, recently I've been doing a pseudo-T&R with the intercessor. works pretty well!!! its not piece by piece, but the convincer of the corner at the end pretty much sells it!

I know its an old post, but I thought I'll put my 2c in, I LOVE the T&R plot!

Man... My favorite HAS to be Michael Kras' Ripped at the Seam. GREAT one.

I also enjoy Geoff William's T&R on his Miracles for Mortals V1 DVD.

Which however did you mean though? The piece by piece ones or the all together restorations?

Has he sold that anywhere yet?

I use Reparation and also a EZ Torn and Restored Card by Kenton Knepper. Seems to be less known and I hope it stays that way. "Using only one card, this is perhaps the easiest and most deceptive Torn & Restored Card ever created. Not only that, you can learn this fast!" There are many others I have tried but I forget the names being it has been so long and so many. But I use these two now.

Then you probably shouldn't have mentioned it

I know its been mentioned but I personally love Re-hab... plus all of the other effects taught on the DVD really give you the biggest bang for your buck

yup...agreed. very practical piece by piece effect.
