A full size sheet of newspaper is handed for examination, and without adding anything, is openly and deliberately torn up. The rough edges of the paper are seen to get smooth, and on opening the paper out, it is restored. But, only half the paper is there. The other half falls to the floor. The audience thinks they are the torn pieces. It is picked up, unrolled, and there is the completely restored other half of the paper. Wait! What's that sticking over the edge of the magician's palm? He reveals another paper, opens it out and it's restored. You can pick up any paper and prepare this in about 20 seconds. No glue, gimmicks, sleights, or false moves. This overcomes the big weakness of all restorations, where the edges of the torn pieces are seen to even up. If you have tried all the others, here's the answer. One hundred percent mystery! You receive the secret instructional sheet that describes all you need to know for making up and performing this great effect.
