Concept is great.
A few things one must know before purchasing this:
1) It is
incredibly difficult and frustrating learning magic with subtitles. It's one thing to watch a movie,
but totally different story reading subtitles, watching the screen and using playing cards
2) This effect works best for right handed magicians because the std deck of playing cards is
designed for right handed people (The pips - it's all about the placement of the pips). I am left
handed. When I make the rip it has to be on the whites of the card, unless I get a left-handed pack
of playing cards (those do exist).
I think effects recorded in a foreign language need to
be dubbed in english or recorded in english by an english speaking magician.
Otherwise
concept is good and lots of ideas on handlings.

I usually stray from t&r because they usually involve hiding extra pieces and some sleight of hand
that is above my current skill set. However, this is perfect for people like me.
My only
concern is I didn't catch in the video if they explained how exactly you can end completely clean
when using a borrowed deck.

Un truco muy visual y a la vez muy fácil de hacer.

I personally think this is the best solution available, when it comes to TnRs. This is for a few
reasons:
1- it's impromptu and it can be done with a borrowed deck (not that I've ever
found anyone who wishes to see their deck destroyed by the conjurer, but I like knowing that it can
be done);
2- It's simple and straightforward in plot (it doesn't require multiple tears
with painstakingly precise alignment of card sections: one bend, one tear, one piece is restored);
3- Multiple restoration options are covered (I think the "mouth" restoration is the best,
as it offers more misdirection, but other ones are sound too);
There's a bit of work to do
in order to understand how to hold the card during the tearing process, which will imply tearing a
lot of cards while learning, but the payoff is relevant.
Probably not a "go to" effect for
many performers, and definitely not a beginner trick as it requires good audience management skills.
However, if one were to put some effort and some thought into learning it, I'd say this could even
replace "Regeneration" by B. Vogt.
The fact of not having to use gimmicks, gaffs or even
duplicates makes it a well-worth purchase.
some people figured it out but others loved it. i preform for harsh middle schoolers every day, so
my options are limited, but a great adult trick and a great ice breaker.
Drusko showed me Korner like a year ago and I fell in love with the method, the concept is awesome,
and YES, it's completely impromptu, no restrictions, you can take any deck and instantly perform it.
If you're looking for a t&r that you will use in the real world, this is it.
