Of course, You get what you get from seeing the preview. YES, you have to ditch something, YES, you can't have people behind you. YES, you do have to destroy a card or two. BUT for this effect, I gotta say... It's Killer. This new Torn and Restored is one of the coolest concepts I've come across with to date. The sliding just kills :)

Especially with the extra cards they give you to perform the incorrectly restored routine, This whole package is great. The teaching is also pretty well done as well, with that said, big thanks for De'Mon and Titanus.

There is just one discrepancy and that's with the actual restoration itself. There is a fraction of the card that's not meant to be showing and with bordered cards, it looks particularly bad. HOWEVER, Nobody ever notices. It's great to see I was wronged, it's is very much in my repertoire now.

SLIDE is WELL worth the money if you're a magician who's going out to the streets doing close up.

I've been buying from Penguin for almost 10 years I believe and I dont think I've ever written a review.

The higher price for this effect had me a little worried that I'd be disappointed and out some good money. When I first opened the package I thought the fear was coming true. Once I loaded the DVD and held the gimmick, things started looking positive.

This is a well thought out gimmick with well thought out routines. Some will play stronger than others - mainly the duo signed playing card. There are multiple ways of producing the gimmick and ditching it is pretty simple especially considering the reactions you'll most likely get with this effect.

I hope others will take the leap and purchase this effect. It's nice for the developers to get rewarded when a well though out effect is produced (especially with so many disappointing effects out there).

DVD Quality - 5 stars
Instructions on DVD and printed - 5 stars
Gimmick - 5 stars
Multiple routines - 5 stars

SLIDE is the bomb. Simple easy to perform and the reactions are golden. By the trailer you can see it's just not playing cards.

This is a great trick. I didn't know what to expect when I got it in the mail but when I put everything together from what the DVD told me, it wasn't that hard to do. Everybody that I did this trick to they really want to know how it's done. Overall it's a great trick.

I mainly got this to use for handing out my non-magician business cards. The thinking behind this is great! The gimmick is ingenious! Of course, you'll have to watch your angles but don't let that sway you from purchasing this effect.

I am thoroughly enjoying performing this effect. It is extremely practical for the walkaround professional.

One thing I didn't realise is that it is a 100% freely selected card.

The gimmick is neat and no doubt work well, thus a give up 2 stars. But the video explanation is crap. They use short sub-titles and annoying music. No actual talking to add to the explanation. I'm somewhat visually challenged and have stop the DVD go up to the screen to read the subtitles that explains what the inventor could have said and would have made things far more clear.

demon and titanas brought animate and restor to the whole new level!!
add 2 cart!

Slide is too cool! it's not a traditional T&R, but that's not an issue. it's a utility you can use with business cards and money too. it requires some set up, but the gimmick is simple and very well engineered. if this hasn't won any awards, it should!! i'll definitely work it into my group of core effects. get one, you won't be disappointed.

THE CARD TRICK VERY GOOD.

I AM STILL WORKING ON THE TRICK TRYING TO GET IT DOWN TO WORK SMOOTH.

I AM WORKING ON TAKING A CARD FROM THE VDECK AND TEARING IT AND RESTORING IT USING SLIDE.

GREAT TRICK.
