Revive

The demo vid was mind blowing. After watching a couple of times I began to have a suspicion on the method; however, I still wanted to purchase this effect. I am glad I did.

The method was what I thought it to be, though I did not know how to prepare the gaff. The tutorial is very succinct and well done and to be honest, the arts and craft it is a bit labor intensive, but not too terribly difficult. The method is simple and inventive.

Stapling the two halves together after tearing the card in half plays well as a gag; however, it adds to the wow factor after the spectators see their card is fully restored with the staples they just saw you used to piece the card together.

The materials you will need to prep the gaff are items you should already have and if you do not, the cost is not cause you to break into a sweat when purchasing them.

This is one of the better Torn and Restored card effects I have seen and collected. Although the DIY is laborious, it is the easiest of the gaffs to prepare for this effect.

The effect is great, I get amazing reactions and it is SUPER simple to perform. My only complaint is I had assumed the dust came with the tutorial as well but instead you have to make the gimmick/dust. It's fun but it is not a quick gimmick to make. Overall, id purchase again but I do think it should be a bit cheaper since you essentially only get a download...

Bought the revive about to learn it. So far everything went smoothly and no greater issues.

Very clear instructions, I made the gimmick in one try. The presentation takes a little practice

To me this is the best TnR hands down. It blows the spectators brain every time, even the hecklers. It’s such a great value for such a strong trick!!!

I think this is the most awesome card trick I've learned so far, it's amazing to see people's reactions when it's performed.

Part of all of my routines

It's absolutely brilliant, well worth the money & it's just genius I can't wait to start blowing minds with it

The gimmick is very unique. Overall very good!

What a beautifully crafted trick! The reactions so far have been awesome and can’t wait to use it on other people.

This is a great trick that gets great reactions. Easy to construct with things you’ll already have. Take an afternoon and make a bunch cause once you see the reactions this gets you’ll be performing it all the time!

The trick is simple and awesome love tricking people

Takes some work to setup, but even that is not as bad as some others. The fact that you can let them keep the card in the end is the most amazing part and sure to blow everyone's mind. The construction steps are very detailed. More than some others I've seen on ellusionist.

Deadly trick! What can i say about this killer? 10 of 5 stars and i can't complaine why people find the
gimmick hard to do.
Very easy to make and you will not regret that you bought this trick!

Very good trick

Definitely takes work, but well worth the effort. Easy trick to pull off, and very impressive.

This is a digital download. The gimmick is well thought out but the preparation will have you feeling like your in some arts and crafts class and probably have to go buy the materials needed which will run ~$15. I just make 5-10 in a sitting. It does wow people and has no weak angles which is always a good thing!

The gimmick you make once perfected is a keeper for sure. Such a awesome effect . You audience will be astonished how you healed the card . Great price too

Got to say that the gimmick, at first is a little daunting when you first watch the video, but after making a few it becomes easier and easier, of course. Once you conquer the gimmick make a few of them at a time, this is a really good trick. People freak right out when they're handed that repaired card. I've done it now six seven times and every time they stand there with a gaping mouth, speechless. I will say though if you're not into making gimmicks this probably isn't the trick for you, but if you want to take a little time and make them, you will be rewarded.

I rarely write reviews, but this one deserves one. Its a hassle to make the gimmick, but really worth it. Its is mind blowing. well done!

Loved this!! Never saw the method coming. As other reviews mentioned there is some DIY involved which normally I simply don’t want to mess with. However, the effect is so mind blowing that it appears that it’ll be worth it. Time will tell on this. The reason for 1 star taken away is that I wish he had taken the time to figure out how to make the gimmick last til whenever you need it versus 4 days or less. That short life span takes away a lot of the motivation to prepare it, practice it, perform it often enough to perfect it etc. I can easily see just eventually not wanting to hassle with the short life span of the gimmick and just resort to other T &R methods. However, I plan on experimenting to see if I can modify this so that you can make up a lot of gimmicks at once and not have to worry about when you use them. We’ll see. I do think time should have invested in that prior to him releasing this.

This is a great method… Very creative! There is a little bit of arts and crafts but it’s not worth the time. Can do surrounded and not have to worry at all about getting busted. So Good!

Such a cool visual. making the gimmick is easy but a tad tedious and once you get going it's better to make 5-10 at one sitting, as all you need will be at hand.. Well worth the time. Amazing minds to think this stuff up. Thanks

This is a killer trick! It gets great reactions, especially when they see the staples are still there. It does take a bit of DIY to get the trick set up, and you may need to buy some of the supplies but it’s all pretty cheap and is totally worth the results!

Awesome trick with great possibilities. Can't wait to perform it.

I saw a friend perform this and was blown away so I bought it, but much later. The effect is great. It looks like real magic and is easy to perform. However, the set up is daunting. To make things worse, you can't just make a bunch of gimmick sets and have them ready to go whenever you want. The window of time from making the gimmicks to performing the trick is relatively small. They said no more than a week, my friend said no more than 48 hours. And the process is very involved. Is it worth it? The trick helped my friend win a magic competition so no doubt the effect is great. BUT, he admits he has not performed the trick since then (Over 2 years ago) or is a regular part of his repertoire.

This trick should be in every magician's arsenal of effects. It is very easy to do and makes for one of the best effects ever!

Interesting method, but I think it's not as practical as other TnR effects.

When I bought the magic trick I was expecting the gimmick in mail but now that I know how to make the gimmick it will be so much easy to make and I can teach my little brothers the trick too I love this trick and it’s a recommended trick you won’t regret it 😁

‘Revive’ is a wonderfully simple, but extremely visual illusion. It’s the sort of effect you would expect to see Dynamo or David Blaine perform. A torn card is stapled, signed, and then restored in front of the audience - even better if they are close up. There is some delicate preparation work to be done before every performance, to prepare the ‘gimmick’ card, but it is not too difficult, and well worth it for the result. I also found this made me feel more responsible for the illusion, rather than a pre-purchased or self-working gaff. The best part is after the illusion, the card can be given to the spectator.

Often times, with a T&R routine, you are left having to ditch extra pieces or a gimmick and you usually can't have the card signed. This version has no such drawbacks. Sure, it requires a little DIY but it is well worth the time. You will not regret it.
