Reform 52 by Matthew Wright

The best torn and restored card trick ever has just had a glow-up.

A playing card is casually ripped into four pieces. No dodgy moves, no sleights, no palming nonsense. It's clearly torn and you hand the pieces over to a spectator, who thinks they’re in charge now (good luck with that).

The spectator mixes the pieces—front to back, back to front—making some face up and some face down. Each of the four pieces gets signed, marked, or dated by a different person (because why not throw a party?).

And without any complicated sleights or cheeky palms (just your basic magician skills), that card comes back together in a way that’ll leave everyone scratching their heads. The mismatched design is a delight, and you can see the torn edges on the card’s outside. All four signatures? Still there, as bold as ever.

This is an object of true wonder, one that your audience will want to hold, examine, and probably take home (sorry, no refunds!).

This is magic without the BS, and it comes at a skill level and price that will make you raise an eyebrow (or two).

Reform 52 comes with 52 gaffs, which means you’ve got double the options from any previous versions. With cards from a regular deck, all you need is the gaffs and you’re good to go.

Beyond Reform, quite possibly:

• The best torn and restored card ever.
• The easiest torn and restored card ever.
• The most logical torn and restored card ever.
• The best giveaway torn and restored card ever.
• The most surprising torn and restored card ever.
• The most inclusive torn and restored card ever.
• The only four-person signed torn and restored card ever.
• The greatest kicker torn and restored card ever.
• The most memorable keepsake torn and restored card ever.

It's a doddle to do.
It can be performed surrounded (like in a pub, but maybe not during your mate’s birthday).
Great value for your hard-earned cash.

Reform 52 comes highly recommended for magicians of all skill levels (even those who can’t find their own cards half the time).
