Full details
ChequePoint is a torn-and-restored receipt trick created by Arseny Tsaran. It involves a receipt that is visibly torn into pieces and then magically restored. The trick is designed to be performed in close-up settings, making it suitable for table-to-table magic or small gatherings. The restoration happens in the spectator's hands, adding to the mystery and impact of the effect.
Who should consider the trick
ChequePoint is ideal for magicians who perform close-up magic and want a visual, interactive trick that can be performed in various settings. It is particularly suited for those who perform in restaurants, bars, or at events where receipts are commonly used. However, due to its cost per performance, it may be more suitable for magicians who perform less frequently or for special occasions.

ChequePoint is relatively easy to perform, making it accessible to magicians of different skill levels. The method is straightforward, and the trick does not require advanced sleight of hand. However, like any magic trick, practice is essential to ensure smooth performance and to maintain the illusion of the restoration.
