One handkerchief. One newspaper. One cut.

They saw it happen. Or did they?

Your spectators will be doubting their own senses after they witness this diabolically devastating double restoration.

Here's what your spectators see...

  • You openly show a silk handkerchief and a sheet of newspaper.
  • The silk is fairly placed into the folded newspaper.
  • The newspaper and handkerchief are cut in half.
  • The halves of both the handkerchief and newspaper are shown to be unmistakably separate.
  • Both the handkerchief and the newspaper are again cleanly and openly shown.
No switches. No steals. NO worries. Nothing added or taken away.

Completely self-contained. Practically self working and exceptionally clean and easy in handling. You show the same handkerchief and newspaper openly and deliberately both before and after the effect.

It is a perfect re-creation of a classic stage illusion - Sawing a Lady in Half - that you can preform almost anywhere with things you can literally carry in your pocket.
  • Fun to perform.
  • Fools magicians
  • Simple, direct plot
  • Ultra clean, ultra visual
  • Resets in under 60 seconds
  • Packs flat, carry in your pocket
  • Easy and inexpensive to prepare
  • Re-use the same silk and newspaper over and over
  • Perform with sleeves rolled up, without sleeves, or completely naked.
  • Diabolical method - the "work" happens right under their noses but is completely invisible & undetectable.
A proven audience hit in hundreds of performances. Ideal for corporate entertainers, school and family performers, stage magicians and illusionists. The classic "cut and restored" plot - that evokes the same astonished audience response as a major stage illusion.

DVD Includes:
  • single shot performance.
  • easy to follow step-by-step video instruction.
  • John's audience-proven commercial word-for-word patter and routine.
  • Handling & presentational tips
  • Bonus live performance video.
Running Time Approximately: 44mins

Good Trick Report this review

This is a good trick. I say Kaplan perform it live before the DVD was released and he had me going. the gimmick is easy to build and the material is well explained not to mention the handling tips are great. You will not require hours of practice to master this trick. It is a great trick and a lot of fun to perform. You will be doing it in no time. Add to cart.

great routine Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 20th, 2014
This is a C & R I found unusual and appealing. Very visual, not the standard rope number. Excellent teaching, from construction down to patter ideas. Look forward to performing this; it should be great for parlor or stage.

Killer Cut Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 2nd, 2011
I think its a good idea but having done Snip Snap Silk for years I think that Snip Snap is a little more straight forward.

Killer Cut is very good but has some extra handling that takes away from the effect.

I love the effect and John walks you through all the details. The only think I wish is that I had a list of what I would need so I could start working on ti the moment I got it. Great for kid show or adults!

Good trick - lousy instructions Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 23rd, 2017
He starts by saying, "Oh, grab about this much". No measurement given...not a good beginning.

Then, the entire construction portion of the vid is shot from the audience viewpoint, which means you have to swap left and right for every thing he does.

And of course, he doesn't mark the pages of the papers so that they're easy to follow as he flips and flops the pages. As a matter of fact, one of the pages that he uses have vertical AND horizontal print, so even knowing which edge is up is more difficult than it should be.

It's waaay more difficult than it should be. Drawings would have been much simpler.

Great stand up effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 1st, 2012
This is a great stand up effect, you can have people around you nearly a full 180 degrees. Easy to assemble, quickly resets and best of all it packs small but plays BIG!

Elegant and has alot of potential. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 21st, 2015
I really do recommend this DVD and trick. Once you get it down, it packs small but plays HUGE! Great reactions, and with a little practice you are even able to perform it with a tie instead of a silk. Nicely done!
