Basic Effect:
A corner is ripped off a card. A corner from a different card is shown. It fits
perfectly onto the previously ripped card. With just a touch, the corner restores leaving the
spectator with an impossible mis-made card.
My Thoughts:
You know that great feeling
you get when you realize what you bought was totally worth the money? Kind of like the feeling when
you buy Reel Magic Magazine? This, unfortunalty, did not give me that feeling. Why? Because this is
crap. I'll explain why.
First- You are not able to use ANY brand name cards. No high
quality cards can be used here. No cards made by the USPCC. Cheap cards that nobody uses HAVE to be
used.
Second- When the card is first displayed, the corner must already be folded. WHY?
This is dumb. A spectator can't pick a card. The card must be pre-bent in your pocket. YUCK!
Third- This has serious motivational issues. The first is already stated above. Second, why
restore the wrong corner so it's mis-made? That makes no sense. And I KNOW David Forrest agrees with
me.
Fourth- The teaching is awful. It seems like Kevin Parker doesn't even know the trick.
He has to stop and think what to do. Obviously, he doesn't perform this much. And there's a reason
why...
Fifth- This is just terribly produced. No studio, no audience, no class. Kevin
Parker is wearing a backwards hat for goodness sake. The quality is low, and is most likely made
with a handy cam. Kevin Parker doesn't perform this for real people on the DVD. Why? I think you
know.
WHY?
Watch the demo video found on Kevin Parker's website. Does the trick look
good? It doesn't to me. So why did I buy this? Because one of effects that may be on an upcoming DVD
has to do with a torn and restored corner. And let me say, my creation looks brilliant compared to
this.
So...
Should you buy this? ABSOULTLY NOT. This is just terrible. I have to rate
it LESS THAN 0/10. My rating for this is -7/10.
What SHOULD I buy?
If you're looking
for a torn and restored corner right now, I highly recommend David Forrest's Ripped and Repaired.
This is a great approach to the plot. OR, you can wait 'till mine hits the market.
STAY
FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THIS.
