Heinstein’s Dream by Karl Hein

Magiccenterharri - Heinstein's Dream by Karl Hein - Trick (Torn and  Restored Card)

This has to be one of the best torn and restored cards ever, or at least, this is very, very, very good!! Karl Hein has come up with an ingenious, flexible method for the T&R with many possibilities. This allows three types of restorations – flash, in the spectator’s hands and piece-by-piece.

The method is great. It takes 5-10 minutes to set up a deck and you can perform the effect 52 times. This makes it incredibly practical as you only need to carry around a deck of cards and you are set to go. The effect is very easy and the cool thing is that although the tearing sequence looks the same in all three versions, you can choose which restoration to do at any time. In my opinion, the flash restoration was the best, which is strange because I am a sucker for piece by piece restorations. The flash restoration is quick, visual and impossible. The “in the hands” restoration is great because it is pretty much angle proof and you could probably do this surrounded. Karl also added a nice piece by piece restoration as well, which I loved.
