Hi vinny,

Your warped and restored effect sounds really interesting, are you still selling your video for it?

I'd be interesting in buying a copy if you were.

Hi Euan, my video is free, all I'm asking is $4 dollars for the shipping. I sent this out to the Magic Cafe, in hopes that the magicians who like torn and restored card could use this idea and perhaps make it better.

As in all torn and restored cards there are weaknesses and strong points. Send me your mailing address and I will give you my mailing address

thanks vinny

And Vinny,

Your extreme generosity will be repaid in the long run, I know it.

Torn is very nice. I think Vinny's Warped and Restored is more fun to do though. Torn is very easy to do (a definite plus) but Vinny's is not too difficult either! Get both!

Vinny still has tapes of his Warped and Restored. I am getting mine in a few days and can't wait. Everyone should just get both. If you can't decide on a card restoration, then get Vinny's Warped for now(hey it's free), and mail him a few dollars extra for good karma, and then get Torn later. Everyone who has received Warped has stated that it is very strong. It will be interesting to compare both effects after I get the videos.

A big thanks to Vinny!

Thanks Vinny for your tape. It is great. I liked your flash restoration at the end. Members make sure as many as possable get Vinny's free tape.

Does anyone know of anywhere to buy 'Torn'? It is no longer on Magicsmith's website.

if you type "Daniel Garcia" into the search engine on MagicSmith's website, you will find his tape.

Thanks for the help, it must not have been working when I tried to find the tape. I was kind of worried that the trick disappeared before I got a chance to get it.

Hey guys,
i just wanted to thank all of those who purchased the tape....and who were happy..heheh....and i wanted to thank all those who watched a bootlegged copy for not telling me. for all of those who have the tape e-mail me for some extra tips and alternate handelings...for those who don't have it....you can get it from me by e-mailing me or you can purchase it from magic smith....thanks again.
D. Garcia

Danny,

I do not, as of yet have it, but I will get it (through honorable channels ). This will probably be a few months.

You know, as the t&r theme has progressed over the years, I can't believe how advanced it has become. It's like the evolvement of the computer from the Timex Sinclair, which in 1981 was the talk of the town, but a mere collectors item today compared to the Pentium IV 2.8ghz.T&R is a great example of this. My first experience was viewing Paul Harris' t&r, and thinking WOW! Then I saw J.C.Wagner's and said WOW! (and believe me, they were fantastic) Then, like the Professor's Nitemare, it progressed with different handlings, and now with Yves and Garcias' version, they have the Pentium IV version, and that is what magic is all about; great innovators and improving on a great theme. Keep it up guys.

I just finally watched the demo of Torn On the Magicsmith website...I'm still cleaning out my pants...Thanx Dan!

I have to get this soon...Darn my bills anyway!

I too was at the last T.A.O,M. convention and saw Daniel Garcia’s torn and restored card. I certainly agree with Eric and Lance. To me, it was very magical, visual and indeed really fun to watch. After watching it two or three times, I suspect that one must "pick your spot" when performing it, to be careful with the angles. Yes, there are a few minor drawbacks, but the strength of the visual restoration overshadows the minor handling problems. To me, it was certainly a beautiful thing to watch.

IM not bragging or anything, but I figured it out. Well the "basic" torn and restored routine I knew from before, but how literally only touching brought the cards together was actually my own method when I realized someone was doing it!

I know everyone loves this, but I don't like the part of putting pieces in the pocket for later.

David Eldridge has a GREAT effect and it looks very clean.

David Eldriges "quaterly Returns " is the best flash restoriation on a torn and restored card effect.
However if you want a flash restoration only using one card with no gaffs or gimmicks then warped and restored by yours truly.
vinny
ps Brad burt and David Eldrige are marketing my effect (warped and restored)

vinsmagic, does Brad carry your effect now? Is it a video?

No it is not a video ,it is in booklet form
and should be out in his next flyer ,. which should be any day.
vinny

Hi Vinny,
Many thanks for your generosity with Warped

for you other guys,

Vinny sent me a Video(all the way to UK)but of course it was the wrong format. He then kindly sent me a CD version.. all free.
From my point of view it would cost me as much to just send "the few bucks".
I know he has spent a lot of time and effort coming up with this routine and then to give it away!!!
So ! all you guys in the States just GET IT
and throw in some loose change for his efforts.You will love it.

Howard
