RIP by DANiELMADiSON
RIP:SIGNED/TORN/RESTORED IN THE SPECTATORS HANDS
A SPECTATOR SELECTS A CARD AND TEARS IT INTO 4 EQUAL PIECES, THE PIECES ARE THEN HELD BETWEEN THE
SPECTATORS HAND WHERE THE CARD IS FULLY RESTORED&
ANY CARD CAN BE USED FOR THE EFFECT, THE CARD IS RIPPED UP BY THE SPECTATOR AND THEN HELD IN THEIR
CLOSED HANDS& RIP CAN BE PERFORMED COMPLETELY SURROUNDED& THE CARD CAN BE SIGNED AND
BOTH SIDES OF EACH TORN PIECE CAN BE SHOWN& INCLUDING THEIR SIGNATURE! AND THE CARD WILL BE
RESTORED.
RIP EXPLAINED
RIP IS ACHIEVED WITH THE USE OF A CUNNING GIMMICK WHICH ALLOWS 4 TORN PIECES TO BE SWITCHED FOR A
RESTORED DUPLICATE RIGHT IN THE SPECTATORS HANDS. TO BUY, THE GIMMICK WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR MORE
EXPENSIVE THAN IT IS FOR ONE TO SIMPLY MAKE ON ONES OWN, THEREFORE, THE GIMMICKS WERE HELD BACK
FROM PRODUCTION TO SAVE THE BUYERS MONEY.
RIP WORKS USING A MAGNET AND A MAGNETIC QUARTER-CARD (WHICH YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE.) IDEALLY
YOU LL NEED A PK RING / MAGNETIC RING; IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE I D HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING ONE IF
NOT FOR THE USE OF COIN-THRU-GLASS ALONE. IF YOU DO NOT OWN ONE OF REFUSE TO MAKE THAT
PURCHASE, FURTHER EXPLANATIONS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN SO THAT THE EFFECT CAN BE PERFORMED WITHOUT
THE RING. FIRST THINGS FIRST& HERE S HOW TO MAKE THE RIP GIMMICK&
MAKING THE GIMMICK
YOU LL NEED TO TEAR A PERFECT QUARTER FROM A PLAYING CARD AND YOU LL NEED TO MAKE THE QUARTER
MAGNETIC&
THE CAN METHOD
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST METHOD FOR MAKING THE RIP GIMMICK, HOWEVER, IF YOU CAN T GET THE EQUIPMENT
NEEDED FURTHER METHODS ARE DESCRIBED AFTER.
ALTHOUGH MOST DRINKING CANS ARE MADE FROM ALUMINIUM THERE ARE A FEW THAT ARE STILL MADE FROM
METAL AND THEREFORE ATTRACTED TO MAGNETS, IF YOU HAVE A PK RING, JUST GO TO THE SHOP AND PICK
EACH CAN UP ONE AFTER THE OTHER UNTIL YOU FIND THE ONE THAT CONNECTS TO THE RING, MOST ALCOHOL
CANS ARE METAL AND ALTHOUGH I APPRECIATE THAT NOT ALL READERS WILL BE DRINKERS AND SOME
UNDERAGE, I M SURE YOU LL FIND A WAY TO GET HOLD OF AN EMPTY METAL CAN.
*PLEASE TAKE EXTREME CARE DURING THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS*
ONCE OBTAINED, EMPTY THE CONTENTS OF THE CAN AND CLEAN IT OUT USING WATER. USING A PAIR OF
SCISSORS, PUNCH A BIG HOLE NEAR THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE CAN AND CUT OFF BOTH THE TOP AND BASE
OF THE CAN. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN DOING THIS AS THE CUT EDGES OF THE CAN WILL BE VERY SHARP.
CUT DOWN THE CAN SO THAT YOU NOW HAVE A SHEET OF THIN METAL AS IN IMAGE 01
NOW TAKE AN UNUSED JOKER OR GUARANTEE CARD (ANY UNUSED CARD) AND FOLD INTO PERFECT QUARTERS.
TEAR THE CARD INTO 4 ALONG THE FOLDED CREASES, WITH THE PIECES FACE-DOWN, YOU LL NEED TO USE THE
UPPER LEFT (OR LOWER RIGHT) PIECE TO USE AS THE GIMMICK.
YOU LL NOW NEED SOME DOUBLE-SIDED STICKY-TAPE OR STRONG GLUE TO STICK THE FACE OF THE QUARTER
TO THE CUT DOWN CAN, WHEN DOING THIS, IT S IMPORTANT THAT EVERY PART OF THE QUARTER IS STUCK TO THE
METAL, AND NOT JUST THE MIDDLE LEAVING FLIMSY EDGES; ENSURE TO COMPLETELY COVER THE FACE OF THE
QUARTER WITH TAPE OR GLUE.
NOW YOU WILL NEED TO CUT THE QUARTER FROM THE METAL SHEET CAREFULLY MAKING SURE THAT YOU DON T
CUT ANY OF THE QUARTER AS IN IMAGE 02
IMAGE 01 IMAGE 02
NOTE: FOR THOSE WHO KNOW HOW TO SPLIT CARDS, FOR THE BEST FINISH, SPLIT THE QUARTER SO THAT YOU
HAVE A MUCH THINNER CARD TO STICK TO THE METAL.
YOUR RIP GIMMICK IS NOW PARTIALLY READY FOR USE. IF YOU CHOSE TO PERFORM RIP USING A FORCED
CARD, YOU WILL NEED A DUPLICATE CARD WHICH YOU WILL NEED TO STICK THE RIP GIMMICK TO THE BACK OF 
IN PLACE OF COURSE. YOU RE NOW READY FOR THE EFFECT.
THE SHIM METHOD
IF YOU CAN T MAKE RIP BY USE OF A CAN, ANY OTHER SMALL AND THIN METAL OBJECT WILL DO, WHEN FIRST
PERFORMING THIS EFFECT I D USE A SMALL PAPERCLIP BUT YOU CAN APPRECIATE THE RISKS OF USING SUCH A
THICK QUARTER AND YOU COULD REALLY DO WITHOUT HAVING TO SHADE SUCH A MATTER.
RIP NUMBER ONE:BASIC
SETUP
FOR THIS METHOD YOU LL NEED TWO DUPLICATES (NOT INCLUDING THE ACTUAL CARD FROM YOUR DECK.) YOU
WILL NEED TO STICK THE RIP GIMMICK TO THE BACK OF A DUPLICATE FORCE CARD WHICH WILL NEED TO BE THE
BOTTOM CARD (WITH THE GIMMICKED EDGE CLOSER TO YOU.) THE ACTUAL DECK FORCING CARD WILL BE IN
YOUR FAVOURITE FORCING POSITION. THE FINAL DUPLICATE WILL BE FOLDED INTO QUARTERS AND LEFT
HANGING OVER YOUR BACK POCKET OR FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMFORTABLE WITH SLEEVING& UP YOUR MOST
CHERISHED SLEEVE. YOU WILL ALSO NED TO BE WEARING YOUR PK RING ON YOUR LEFT HAND (IF RIGHT
HANDED.) (ALTERNATIVE METHODS ARE EXPLAINED LATER FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE A MAGNETIC RING)
EFFECT
FORCE THE CARD ON YOUR SPECTATOR AND HAVE IT LOST IN THE DECK, REVEAL THE CARD IN YOUR FAVOURITE
WAY, AS THE RIP CARD IS AT THE BASE OF THE DECK I USUALLY PERFORM A COLD-SHOT CUT SHOOTING THE
CARD FROM THE DECK, THE GIMMICK WILL NOT PREVENT THE CARD FROM SPINNING, THIS WILL ALSO DETRACT
FROM THE SUSPICION OF A GIMMICK BEING IN PLAY. THE DECK CAN NOW BE PLACED ASIDE.
FOLD THE RIP CARD INTO QUARTERS MAKING SURE THE CREASES ARE EQUAL AND SHARP ENOUGH TO RIP
CLEARLY CENTRAL. TEAR THE CARD LENGTHWAYS TO THE CENTRE OF THE CARD AND TEAR OFF THE GIMMICKED
QUARTER, HAND THIS DIRECTLY TO THE SPECTATOR BEFORE HANDING THEM THE TORN CARD ASKING THEM TO
DO THE SAME WITH THE REMAINING QUARTERS, THE GIMMICK WILL NOT BE DETECTED. AS THEY DO THIS YOU
ARE GIVEN SPACE, TIME AND SHADE TO LOAD THE RESTORED DUPLICATE INTO A FINGER PALM POSITION AS IN
IMAGE 03
IMAGE 04
IMAGE 03 IMAGE 05
TAKE THE TORN THE PIECES FROM THE SPECTATOR WITH YOUR FREE HAND AND HOLD THEM UP SO THAT THE
FACES ARE TOWARD THE SPECTATOR AS IN IMAGE 04. YOU WILL NEED TO POSITION THEM SO THAT THE
GIMMICK IS AT FRONT (CLOSER TO THE SPECTATOR,) YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO POSITION THE BOTTOM RIGHT
QUARTER TO THE BACK (CLOSER TO YOU) SO MATCHING THE RESTORED CARD IN SHADE. NOW PLACE THE
PIECES FACE-DOWN DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE RESTORED CARD AND HOLD THE PILE OUT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS AS
IN IMAGE 05. THE PILE SHOULD CONSIST  FROM BOTTOM TO TOP  OF THE RESTORED CARD, THE GIMMICK,
TWO INDEX PIECES AND FINALLY THE LOWER RIGHT QUARTER ON TOP.
TAKE THE BATCH WITH YOUR RIGHT THUMB AND FOREFINGER (IMAGE 06) AS YOU ASK THE SPECTATOR TO HOLD
OUT AN OPEN HAND, AS YOU PLACE THE BATCH IN THE PALM OF THEIR HAND, LET GO OF THE BATCH THEN
INSTANTLY PRESS DOWN ON THE PILE WITH THE FOREFINGER OF THE SAME HAND AS IF POINTING TO THE PIECES
AS IN IMAGE 07. THE PRESSURE WILL STOP THE RESTORED CARD POPPING OPEN A LITTLE CAUSING THE PIECES
TO SLIDE OFF; THIS PRESSURE WILL ALSO DIMINISH THE DETECTION OF OVER-WEIGHT PIECES. AS YOU POINT TO
THE PIECES, ASK YOUR SPECTATOR TO COVER THE PIECES WITH THEIR OTHER HAND, DEMONSTRATE THIS BY
REMOVING YOUR FINGER FROM THE PILE AND PLACING YOUR HAND FLAT ON TOP OF THEIR HAND AS IN IMAGE
08. THIS IS WHEN YOU WILL STEAL THE TORN PIECES, THE MAGNETIC RING WILL ATTACH TO THE RIP GIMMICK
AND PICK UP THE OTHER THREE PIECES ABOVE IT LEAVING ONLY THE RESTORED CARD IN THEIR HAND. KEEP
YOUR HAND THEIR UNTIL YOU SEE THEIR OTHER HAND ON IT S WAY TO COVER THE CARD, TAKE YOUR HAND
AWAY AND WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND, GUIDE THEIR HAND OVER THE CARD ADDING A LITTLE SHADE.
IMAGE 07
IMAGE 06 IMAGE 08
TELL THE SPECTATOR TO ADD PRESSURE AND ASK IF THEY CAN FEEL THE PIECES, EVERYBODY SAYS YES OF
COURSE, FOR THERE ARE FOUR QUARTERS IN THEIR HANDS. FOR A LITTLE EXTRA CLARITY AND FUEL TO THE
REACTIONS, ASK IF THEY CAN FEEL ANYTHING HAPPENING. IT S QUITE OBVIOUS FROM THE BEGINNING WHAT
YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO, I CAN T IMAGING A MAGICIAN WHO WOULD RIP UP A CARD TO JUST HAVE A TORN CARD.
THROUGHOUT THE DIALOGUE YOU CAN DITCH THE PIECES IN AN AWAITING POCKET.
NOTES
LEARN THE STRENGTH OF YOUR MAGNET BEFORE USE, IT S QUITE IMPORTANT THAT YOU PLACE YOUR HAND ON
THEIRS WITH PRESSURE AT A REASONABLE PACE SO THAT THE PIECES AREN T LIFTED BEFORE BOTH HANDS
MEET.
RESIST THE NATURAL FEELING TO KEEP YOUR HAND RIGID AND FLAT ONCE YOU VE STOLEN THE PIECES, GET
COMFORTABLE WITH THEM IN YOUR HAND AND JUST LETTING THEM HANG. DON T (OBVIOUSLY) OPEN YOUR
FINGERS, BUT DON T SQUEEZE THEM SHUT AND MOST OF ALL, DON T DITCH ASAFP, THIS NEEDS TO LOOK
NATURAL& IF YOU NEED AN EXCUSE TO GO TO YOUR POCKET FOR THE DITCH, ONCE THE CARD IS SELECTED YOU
CAN PUT THE DECK AWAY, THEN RETRIEVE IT FOR THE NEXT EFFECT AND MEET THE DITCH.
WITH YOUR HAND IN POCKET YOU LL BE ABLE TO PEEL OFF THE RIP GIMMICK IN PREPARATION TO ATTACH TO
ANOTHER CARD
RIP NUMBER TWO:SIGNED
SETUP
FOR THE EXPLANATION OF THIS EFFECT, I HAVE USED THE 6 OF HEARTS AS THE FORCE CARD, AND USED THE
6 OF DIAMONDS AS THE RIP CARD SO THAT YOU CAN DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE SIGNED AND RIP CARDS.
FOR THIS METHOD YOU LL NEED ONE DUPLICATE. YOU WILL NEED TO WRITE THE DATE DOWN THE GIMMICKED
SIDE OF THE DUPLICATE AS IN IMAGE 09, THIS CARD WILL NEED TO BE PRE-FOLDED YET OPENED OUT AGAIN
AND RETAINED AS THE BOTTOM CARD (WITH THE GIMMICKED EDGE CLOSER TO YOU.) THE FORCE CARD WILL BE
IN YOUR FAVOURITE FORCING POSITION. YOU WILL ALSO NED TO BE WEARING YOUR PK RING ON YOUR LEFT
HAND (IF RIGHT HANDED.)
EFFECT
FORCE THE CARD ON YOUR SPECTATOR AND PLACE THE DECK ASIDE (FACE-DOWN.) FOLD THE FORCED CARD
INTO QUARTERS CREATING TEAR-EASY CREASES, FOLD THE CARD LENGTHWAYS AND ASK THE SPECTATOR TO
SIGN THEIR NAME ACROSS ONE HALF OF THE CARD AS IN IMAGE 10, ONCE DONE, WRITE THE DATE ON THE
OTHER HALF YOURSELF (IMAGE 11,) AS YOU LL GATHER IT S QUITE IMPORTANT TO GET THE WRITING AS CLOSE
TO THE DUPE AS POSSIBLE.
IMAGE 10 IMAGE 11
IMAGE 09
PICK UP THE DECK SO THAT THE DUPE IS FACING YOU AND PLACE THE SIGNED CARD ON TOP OF THIS MAKING
SURE THAT THE DATES ARE ON THE SAME SIDE. YOU WILL NEED TO UNDERFOLD THE SIGNED CARD AS IN
IMAGES 12, 13 AND 14  THIS IS OBVIOUSLY DONE IN SHADE.
IMAGE 12 IMAGE 13 IMAGE 14
TAKE BOTH CARDS FROM THE DECK AND HOLD FOLDED SLIGHTLY IN AS IN IMAGE 15 TO SHADE THE CENTRAL
DIFFERENCE. SHOW THE FACE TO CONFIRM THE SIGNATURE, THEN FOLD THE CARD LENGTHWAYS
TRANSFERRING THE SIGNED CARD TO THE OTHER SIDE AS IN IMAGES 16 AND 17, NOW TEAR THE UNSIGNED
CARD DIRECTLY DOWN THE CENTRE (IMAGE 18,) HOLD THE UNSIGNED HALF BEHIND THE REST (IMAGE 19.)
FOLD ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER AND THEN RE-OPEN RETAINING THE FOLDED SIGNED CARD AS IN IMAGE 20,
NOW TEAR THE TORN DATED HALF AND THE HIDDEN UNSIGNED HALF DOWN THE CENTRAL CREASES. YOU CAN
NOW POSITION THE RESTORED/SIGNED CARD ON TOP OF ONE OF THE PIECES; YOU WILL NOTICE THAT HALF OF
THE SIGNATURE IS SHOWING.
IMAGE 15 IMAGE 16
IMAGE 17
IMAGE 18 IMAGE 19
IMAGE 20
DISPLAY AS 4 PIECES AS IN IMAGE 21 BEFORE POSITIONING THE PIECES ON TOP OF THE RESTORED CARD; THE
RIP GIMMICK WILL NEED TO BE IN FRONT OF THE RESTORED CARD, THE TWO UNMARKED CARDS WILL BE ON TOP
OF THAT WITH THE DATED INDEXED CARD ON TOP, IMAGE 22 SHOWS THIS EXPOSING THE RESTORED CARD AT
THE BACK. AT THIS POINT YOU CAN ACTUALLY FLASH THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PILE SHOWING THE OTHER HALF
OF THEIR SIGNATURE (IMAGE 23) BEFORE YOU PLACE THE PILE INTO THEIR OPEN PALM.
IMAGE 21 IMAGE 22
IMAGE 23
AS YOU PLACE THE BATCH INTO THEIR HAND, LET GO OF THE BATCH THEN INSTANTLY PRESS DOWN ON THE PILE
WITH THE FOREFINGER OF THE SAME HAND AS IF POINTING TO THE PIECES. THE PRESSURE WILL STOP THE
RESTORED CARD POPPING UP CAUSING THE PIECES TO SLIDE OFF; THIS PRESSURE WILL ALSO DIMINISH THE
DETECTION OF OVER-WEIGHT PIECES. ASK YOUR SPECTATOR TO COVER THE PIECES WITH THEIR OTHER HAND,
DEMONSTRATE THIS BY REMOVING YOUR FINGER FROM THE PILE AND PLACING YOUR LEFT HAND FLAT ON TOP OF
THEIR HAND. THE MAGNETIC RING WILL ATTACH THE TO RIP GIMMICK AND PICK UP THE OTHER THREE PIECES
ABOVE IT LEAVING ONLY THE RESTORED CARD IN THEIR HAND. KEEP YOUR HAND THEIR UNTIL YOU SEE THEIR
OTHER HAND ON IT S WAY TO COVER THE CARD, TAKE YOUR HAND AWAY AND WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND, GUIDE
THEIR HAND OVER THE CARD ADDING A LITTLE SHADE.
TELL THE SPECTATOR TO ADD PRESSURE AND ASK IF THEY CAN FEEL THE PIECES, EVERYBODY SAYS YES OF
COURSE, FOR THERE ARE FOUR QUARTERS IN THEIR HANDS. FOR A LITTLE EXTRA CLARITY AND FUEL TO THE
REACTIONS, ASK IF THEY CAN FEEL ANYTHING HAPPENING. IT S QUITE OBVIOUS FROM THE BEGINNING WHAT
YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO, I CAN T IMAGING A MAGICIAN WHO WOULD RIP UP A CARD TO JUST HAVE A TORN CARD.
THROUGHOUT THE DIALOGUE YOU CAN DITCH THE PIECES IN AN AWAITING POCKET.
NOTES
THIS DOES REQUIRE A LOT OF PRACTICE AND CAN BE PERFORMED COMPLETELY SURROUNDED. THIS METHOD
WAS CREATED FROM MY ANNOYANCE, NOT AT THOSE WHO SAY  DO THAT AGAIN WITH A SIGNED CARD BUT AT
THE FACT THAT I COULDN T, WELL, NOT IN A PLAUSIBLE WAY, NOT UNLESS I WANTED TO PERFORM D
GARCIA S TORN, WHICH IS BY FAR THE BEST TORN AND RESTORED METHOD EXISTING. HOWEVER, THE
METHODS I KNEW HAD LIMITS, I COULD ONLY SHOW ONE SIDE& I HAD TO TAKE AND RETRIEVE PIECES FROM MY
POCKETS ETC. I WANTED A HARD-HITTING, NO SLEEVES OR POCKETS IN-THEIR-HANDS EFFECT.
WITH THIS YOU SEE THE SIGNED PIECES TORN, YOU EVEN SEE THEIR SIGNATURE TORN, THE ONLY SHADE
HAPPENS WITH THE UNDERFOLD IN IMAGES 12, 13 AND 14, BUT YOU LL DISCOVER THAT THIS CAN BE
ACHIEVED HOLDING THE DECK FACE-DOWN FOR A SECOND.
THERE LL SOON BE A CLIP OF THIS EFFECT ON MY WEB SITE AS IT WAS FILMED IN 2006 FOR THE DECEPTION.
RIP NUMBER THREE:HANDS
SETUP
FOR THIS VARIATION YOU LL NEED TWO DUPLICATES. YOU WILL NEED TO STICK THE RIP GIMMICK TO THE BACK
OF THE ONE IN USE AND HAVE THE OTHER FOLDED INTO QUARTERS AND LEFT HANGING OVER YOUR BACK
POCKET OR UP YOUR SLEEVE. YOU WILL NEED TO BE WEARING YOUR MAGNETIC RING ON YOUR LEFT HAND (IF
RIGHT HANDED.)
EFFECT
IN THIS EFFECT YOU WILL SIMPLY TEAR AND RESTORE THE CARD IN YOUR OWN HANDS, THIS HAPPENS IN AN
INSTANT AND IS VERY VISUALLY REWARDING.
EITHER TAKE THE CARD FROM THE DECK YOURSELF OR HAVE IT FORCED. FOLD THE RIP CARD INTO QUARTERS
MAKING SURE THE CREASES ARE EQUAL AND SHARP ENOUGH TO RIP CLEARLY CENTRAL. TEAR THE CARD
LENGTHWAYS TO THE CENTRE OF THE CARD AND TEAR OFF THE GIMMICKED QUARTER, HAND THIS DIRECTLY TO
THE SPECTATOR BEFORE HANDING THEM THE TORN CARD ASKING THEM TO DO THE SAME WITH THE REMAINING
QUARTERS; THE GIMMICK WILL NOT BE DETECTED. AS THEY DO THIS YOU ARE GIVEN SPACE, TIME AND SHADE
TO LOAD THE RESTORED DUPLICATE INTO A FINGER PALM POSITION AS IN IMAGE 03
TAKE THE TORN THE PIECES FROM THE SPECTATOR WITH YOUR FREE HAND AND HOLD THEM UP SO THAT THE
FACES ARE TOWARD THE SPECTATOR AS IN IMAGE 04. YOU WILL NEED TO POSITION THEM SO THAT THE
GIMMICK IS AT FRONT (CLOSER TO THE SPECTATOR,) YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO POSITION THE BOTTOM RIGHT
QUARTER TO THE BACK (CLOSER TO YOU) SO MATCHING THE RESTORED CARD IN SHADE. NOW PLACE THE
PIECES FACE-DOWN DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE RESTORED CARD AND HOLD THE PILE OUT AS IN IMAGE 24. THE
PILE SHOULD CONSIST  FROM BOTTOM TO TOP  OF THE RESTORED CARD, THE GIMMICK, TWO INDEX PIECES
AND FINALLY THE LOWER RIGHT QUARTER ON TOP.
REACH UP WITH YOUR FREE HAND MOMENTARILY COVERING THE PIECES AS YOUR THUMB REACHES THE BOTTOM
OF THE PILE (IMAGE 25,) IN THIS INSTANCE, THE MAGNETIC RING TAKES THE TORN PIECES. YOUR FOREFINGER
THEN UNFOLDS THE FIRST FOLD IN THE CARD AS SHOWN IN IMAGE 26 BEFORE FULLY OPENING THE CARD
IMAGE 24 IMAGE 25 IMAGE 26
RIP NUMBER FOUR:RINGLESS
SETUP / EFFECT
THIS EFFECT ISN T ENTIRELY DEPENDANT ON THE MAGNETIC RING& IN THE BEGINNING I D CARRY A SIMPLE
MAGNET IN MY POCKET WITH BLUE-TAC STUCK TO ONE SIDE, WHEN PERFORMING THE EFFECT I D SIMPLY STICK
THE MAGNET TO MY HAND AS IN IMAGE 27, THEN WHEN DITCHING THE TORN CARD GET RID OF THE MAGNET
TOO. TO LOOK AT, AND EVEN TO WEAR, THIS WILL FEEL SO WRONG AND IMPRACTICAL, IN MANY WAYS IT IS, BUT
UNTIL YOU TRY IT YOU WON T TRULY UNDERSTAND HOW WELL THIS DOES WORK. IT ALSO GETS RID OF THE
RING, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY ONE DAY BE QUESTIONED. YOU ARE LIMITED TO YOUR ANGLES WHEN HAVING A
MAGNET STUCK TO YOUR HAND, BUT IT S WORTH LEARNING HOW TO SHADE FOR THE EFFECT.
IMAGE 27
NOTES
FOR A WHILE I D JUST APPROACH SOMEBODY WITH A TORN UP NOTE AND RESTORE IT IN THEIR HANDS, IN THIS
CASE YOU ONLY NEED TO DESTROY ONE NOTE, AND IF YOU FIND YOURSELF STRAPPED FOR CASH AT A LATER
TIME YOU CAN JUST TAPE IT TOGETHER AGAIN OR STEAL SOME SUCKERS WALLET AS THEY INSPECT THE PIECES.
WHICHEVER SUBSTITUTE YOU MAY FIND FOR ATTACHING THE MAGNET TO YOUR HAND, JUST MAKE SURE THAT
YOUR HAND IS CLEANLY DRY, YOU DON T WANT THE MAGNET TO FALL OFF.
YOU CAN PROBABLY APPRECIATE WHY I DIDN T WANT TO RELEASE RIP BEFORE THE DISCOVERY OF THE
MAGNETIC RING.
RIP NUMBER FIVE:RAVEN
SETUP / EFFECT
IF YOU USE A RAVEN, HANG THE RESTORED CARD OVER THE WIRE AS EXPOSED IN IMAGE 28, THE PIECE WILL
REMAIN HANGING IN YOUR SLEEVE UNTIL YOU RE READY FOR THE EFFECT. AT THE POINT OF TEARING OFF THE
RIP GIMMICK AND HANDING THE REST TO THE SPECTATOR YOU CAN MAKE AN EASY REACH INTO YOUR SLEEVE,
AS YOU PULL THE RESTORED CARD INTO A FINGER PALM, CATCH THE WIRE ON THE THUMB OF YOUR FREE
HAND MANIPULATING IT IN POSITION OVER YOUR INDEX FINGER (PREFERABLY IN THE GROOVE OF YOUR
FINGERNAIL.)
YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU CAN EVEN USE THIS GIMMICKED HAND NATURALLY  WHICH WILL ALSO ADD EXTRA
SHADE TO THE RAVEN AS SHOWN IN IMAGE 29
IMAGE 28 IMAGE 29
AS THE PIECES ARE PLACED IN THE SPECTATORS PALM, SIMPLY USE THE RAVEN HAND TO GESTURE FOR THEM
TO PLACE THEIR OTHER HAND ON TOP, AT THIS POINT YOU WILL PICK UP THE TORN PIECES AND DITCH UP YOUR
SLEEVE.
NOTES
IT S QUITE IMPORTANT NOT TO LET THE RAVEN GO RIGHT AWAY, TAKE YOUR TIME IN LETTING IT GO MAKING SURE
THAT NONE OF THE CORNERS CATCH YOUR SLEEVE ON THE WAY UP.
RIP FINAL NOTES
MANY THANKS TO ALL MENTIONED& I M SURE THIS WILL HAVE BEEN DONE OR AT LEAST THOUGHT OF BEFORE
AND AS ALWAYS I DON T CLAIM TO HAVE INVENTED OR CREATED EITHER THE METHOD OR TECHNIQUE, I ONLY
MAKE CLAIM TO MY OWN DISCOVERY OF IT AND HAVE PUBLISHED MY FINDINGS AS THEY HAVE YET TO HIT THE
MARKET.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THIS DOCUMENT IN THEIR POSSESSION; MANY THANKS AND I HOPE YOU MASTER THE
HANDLINGS TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.

RIP BONUS EFFECT:CURRENCY
SETUP
THIS IS BASICALLY RIP WITH A BANKNOTE AND THEREFORE DOESN T REALLY REQUIRE MUCH EXPLANATION,
WHAT S GOOD ABOUT THIS IS EFFECT IS THAT YOU CAN PERFORM IT WITH A BORROWED NOTE, AND ALTHOUGH
ONE NOTE DOES NEED TO BE DESTROYED TO ACHIEVE THE GIMMICK, THE ACTUAL TORN NOTE CAN BE TAPED
BACK TOGETHER AND SPENT. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN HANDLING IS THAT YOU LL NEED TO HAVE STICKY TAPE
ON THE METAL QUARTER NOTE READY TO ATTACH TO THE BACK OF THEIR NOTE. THE SAME EFFECT IS
ACHIEVABLE BY HAVING A PRE LOADED RIP NOTE AND SWITCHING THEM, YET THIS CALLS FOR MORE
UNNECESSARY WORK.
IMAGE 30 SHOWS WHERE YOU NEED TO ATTACH THE METAL GIMMICK, IT SHOULD BE A SIMILAR SIZE ALSO.
ONCE THE NOTE IS TORN AND QUARTERS HELD TOGETHER, YOU CAN FOLD THEM ALL OVER ONCE MORE. MAKE
SURE THE GIMMICK IS AT THE BOTTOM. DOUBLE FOLDING ALLOWS FOR AN EASIER STEAL.

NOTES
FOR A WHILE I D JUST APPROACH SOMEBODY WITH A TORN UP NOTE AND RESTORE IT IN THEIR HANDS, IN THIS
CASE YOU ONLY NEED TO DESTROY ONE NOTE, AND IF YOU FIND YOURSELF STRAPPED FOR CASH AT A LATER
TIME YOU CAN JUST TAPE IT TOGETHER AGAIN OR STEAL SOME SUCKERS WALLET AS THEY INSPECT THE PIECES.
THERE ARE NO PHOTOS TO DISPLAY THIS METHOD AS I HAD ONLY COINAGE ON THE DAY OF PRODUCTION AND MY
GOOD MAN R3MAN DIDN T WANT TO BURDEN HIS GAY WALLET WITH A TAPED UP BANK NOTE. THANKS A
BUNCH.
