SleightfulRegeneration by Blake Vogt - Magic Review
Sebastian Tocca delivers a detailed review of Blake Vogt's "Regeneration," a popular torn and restored card effect. Aiming to assist magicians in making informed purchases, Sebastian explores the effect, its components, and its performance considerations. The effect involves a spectator signing a card, tearing a corner, placing it in the magician's mouth, and magically restoring it. The $50 (USD) product from Theory 11 includes 15 handcrafted gimmicks, praised for their quality and undetectability, though refills are not available. Sebastian finds the effect relatively easy to perform, adaptable to various settings, and provides a memorable souvenir. He compares it to Heinstein Dreams, noting the latter's more visual restoration and immediate souvenir capability. While acknowledging the lack of refills and the associated cost per performance ($3.50 USD), Sebastian highly recommends "Regeneration," citing its visual appeal, commercial viability, and directness, awarding it a score of 9 out of 10 and suggesting a single pack purchase for testing.
