SLOW-MO Torn & Restored Card using FIRE! [TUTORIAL]

Lloyd B's tutorial unveils a captivating torn and restored card effect enhanced by the use of fire. This isn't your typical card trick; it involves audience participation, with spectators actively tearing a corner from a card and even briefly burning it. The core of the illusion lies in a cleverly prepared gimmick – two seven of hearts cards, one with a taped and lightly burned corner. Lloyd meticulously details the preparation process, emphasizing the importance of matching the burn on the gimmick to the one created during the performance. The tutorial breaks down the performance, highlighting the need for skillful misdirection, a subtle lick to adhere the corner, and deceptive moves to conceal the gimmick. The visual contrast between the burnt area and the clean corner is crucial for selling the illusion, and a clean presentation is key. Lloyd encourages audience involvement, believing it amplifies the perceived impossibility of the restoration, making it a memorable experience for both performer and spectator. This trick is best suited for intermediate to advanced magicians willing to invest time in crafting the props.
