This is the ULTIMATE Torn and Restored Card! A spectator signs a card, you rip it into fourths, and then restore it PIECE BY PIECE. Magic doesn't get more visual than this!
John Lovick (Handsome Jack) covers every detail: the handling, motivation, timing, subtlety and psychology. Nothing is left out!
Thorough explanations and over-the-shoulder camera angles ensure you'll master this routine in no time.
PLUS, as a special bonus, you'll see how good this routine really is under real world conditions - John performs the Reparation at the Magic Castle in front of a live audience.
This captivating creation has become the highlight of John's act. The routine will take some practice to master, BUT it's the easiest PIECE BY PIECE restoration of it's kind.
"I've learned the "others" and they're very good, but they make my fingers tremble and ache. The Reparation much-much easier and 'do-able.' In a nutshell, this is one that will become part of your working repertoire."

Coming Together - Based on Peter Samuelson’s ‘New York Transpo,’ this is Paul’s take on bringing two spectators together Anniversary Waltz style. Two separate signatures end up on the same card – and it uses normal cards!
