Updated Trailer showing removal of cut-out piece.
Visit www.HuronLow.com for more info.
A card is signed and selected by the spectator.
The card is ripped up cleanly and restored MISMATCHED… at the same time.
The pieces restore in the cleanest way possible… the ends literally touch and fuse with absolutely no cover.
Remember, each and every piece is restored MISMATCHED.
That’s still not the best part.
The magician looks at the face of the card, and gently waves the card.
He then turns it around to show that the face of the card is now repaired and isn’t mismatched anymore.
The signed, mismatched card is then immediately given to the spectator as a souvenir.
It is 100% examinable.
The effect can also be done without mismatching the pieces.
This is the best part.
IT’S ABSOLUTELY FREE.
Buy The T&R Project and we will include an exact replica of the original “0630″ handwritten black booklet he sent me.
Only 500 copies of this booklet will be replicated.
Once they are gone they will be gone forever.
The Effects:
Angel
Any card is selected by the spectator, who signs all over its face with permanent ink.
The angel at the back of the signed bicycle card is then colored a solid black with the same marker.
The magician blows over the ink, even rubbing it with his fingers tips, proving that it is a permanent mark over the now dark angel.
With a gentle wave the ink on the angel visually fades away, morphing back into the angel; the signature on its face still permanently etched on, a symbol of the impossible occurrence.
Angel Redux
The angel at the back of a signed, freely selected bicycle card is cleanly sliced out with a pen-knife, leaving a circular hole in the selection.
With a gentle wave, the angel visually and gradually regenerates in full view, making the card whole once again.
Hotspot
A signed card is folded in half and has its middle ripped out.
First the ripped out piece teleports from the magician’s pocket back to the destroyed card, fully restoring it.
Then the piece is ripped out again and placed in the magician’s mouth. He spits it out at the torn area, visually restoring the card with absolutely no cover.
Making Ends Meet
All piece by piece restorations look the same, except this one.
This is as clean and visual as piece by piece torn and restored card effects go.
A quarter is ripped off a signed card and handed to the spectator.
Another quarter is torn off, making it a long half-card.
That long piece is ripped into two and fused back on the other ripped sides, creating the first mismatch.
Now the last piece is removed and restored… but on the wrong side, resulting in a visual oddity.
This next phase is almost eerie.
The magician merely gazes at the last piece, and it suddenly shifts, steadily sliding by its fibres over to the correct side.
Finally, the last piece is that the spectator has been holding onto the entire time suddenly changes in colour, permanently mismatching it from the rest of the card.
Why Fire in the Hole?
Most T&Rs require the destruction of two cards every single time.
Fire in the Hole uses one card, and utilizes an ingenious gimmick that can be used over and over again.
Most T&Rs require a force of the selection.
The selection in Fire in the Hole is a free choice.
Most T&Rs are very angle sensitive and can be only performed to one person at a time.
Fire in the Hole has a beautiful angle range and I have performed this at conventions for hundreds at a time.
Most T&Rs are not versatile and require a lot of cover.
Fire in the Hole can be restored with or without fire, neither requiring any cover. Yes, the cut-out piece can literally fuse back to the card with a gentle touch.
Most T&Rs utilize duplicate cards.
Fire in the Hole only uses one card, and thus does not need any duplicates.
Most T&Rs look EXACTLY THE SAME, and do not suggest a magical process for which the restoration occurs.
Fire in the Hole’s fusion of time-travel and fire is perfect motivation for the restoration.
There has never been a torn and restored that even comes close to what Fire in the Hole is and looks like.
Most T&Rs have selections that cannot be signed on both sides, and at times cannot be signed at all, greatly weakening the effect.
The selection in Fire in the Hole is signed on BOTH sides, multiple times. The selection is also fully examinable.
Most T&Rs have an approximate one minute reset time.
Fire in the Hole has a 3 second reset time.
A “time bomb” is introduced and placed over the hole.
The bomb is lit and bursts into flames, enveloping the hole in a swirl of fire, VISUALLY SEALING the hole, blasting the card back in time so it is now FULLY RESTORED.
The card is then immediately handed out for examination and can be kept by the spectator as a souvenir, the effect, scorched into his mind for eternity.
Features:
• Extremely visual.
• The card is freely selected, no forces or duplicates.
• The card can be signed on both sides by the spectators.
• Only ONE card is used in the whole routine, the one the spectator keeps as a souvenir. An ingenious gimmick that can be used over and over again makes it all possible.
• The card is fully examinable before and after the effect.
• The reset time is a mere 3 seconds.
• All the effects have MULTI-ANGLED studio performances and tutorials and explain everything in vivid detail.
• Multiple handlings of Fire in the Hole including fire and non-fire restorations.
