In 2001 Wayne Houchin began working on an extremely practical version of the torn & restored card effect. A playing card or business card is openly ripped into 4 pieces. It is then magically restored one piece at a time. The open handling and practical method allow "Counterfeit Hollingworth" to be performed in close-up, intimate situations.
He briefly considered releasing the effect to the magic community in 2006, but due to the number of torn & restored card routines being released at the time decided to keep it off the market. For half a decade Counterfeit Hollingworth has been a popular feature of his live lecture. This is your chance to pickup a copy of an exclusive lecture teaching Counterfeit Hollingworth in depth.
The Effect: A amazing piece of WOW from the fertile minds of Spidey, Deven Ye and Richard Sanders!
Ultra Gum:
An impossible transposition between a borrowed bill and a FACTORY SEALED PACKAGE OF GUM!
EFFECT:
A corner is slowly torn from a borrowed bill. The corner is rubbed between the fingertips where it very SLOWLY and eerily vanishes! You are clean, No pulls, No TT's, No ditching...IT'S JUST GONE!
The spectator opens a package of gum that has been sitting on the table throughout. (It can even be in the spectator's hands) MIRACULOUSLY, INSIDE ONE OF THE SEE THROUGH PLASTIC BUBBLES OF THE UNOPENED PACKAGE OF GUM, is the corner of a bill!
There are no breaks or tears in the plastic or the foil.
This is a modern day impossibility!
The only way to get at the bill is to break open the foil seal, which the spectator does himself to discover the missing corner from the bill he loaned to you just seconds ago!
This amazing concept allows for transpositions, vanishes, appearances and more!
NOTE: Gimmicks are reusable, nothing to replace!

FEATURING 6 KILLER ROUTINES:
Cash Flow: A corner torn for a spectator's bill appears, seconds later, sealed in a pack of gum in the spectator's own hands.
Inside: A selected card vanishes from the deck and appears inside a pack of gum in the spectator's hand. The effect is repeated but this time with a torn corner from the selected card. The corner vanishes completely...a few moments later, a piece of gum is impossibly extracted from the unopened gum pack. The spectator opens the gum to find the corner from their selected card trapped inside one of the see through bubbles of the unopened, sealed pack of gum. An impossible ending to a killer effect!
Organic Transpo: A killer in your face transpo handling! Tear a corner from a borrowed bill and put it into your mouth. Slowly begin to chew the corner in your mouth where upon it suddenly transforms into a piece of gum. The spectator open the gum pack to find the corner from their bill impossibly sealed inside the gum pack.
Full On: A practical full bill handling for the effect!
Spidey's Time Travel Routine: Think Neo from "The Matrix" performing a mind bending effect with a piece of gum and a selected card. The spectator is actually convinced that you traveled back in time to perform an impossible torn corner in gum pack effect. An incredible presentation with a devious handling!

Reviews:
"...Wow The Call was one of those "Why didn t I think of that" moments I LOVED IT That s a reputation maker for potential clients " - Raymond Doetjes
"Just watched the video and I liked it a lot. The Connection is my favorite because I like simple and creative methods that leave plenty of room for presentation - a superb drawing duplication. Good luck, Luca. You did a wonderful job." - Roy Zaltsman
"I think that these routines are really good and I can see myself performing them. Once again Luca has given us some MORE great stuff." - Ray Noble
"Luca, your new DVD really kicks some a$$
And I mean it Luca s present release shows how he has made QUANTUM LEAPS in both creativity AND performing skills. The DVD is professionally made, the settings used are great and Luca s explanations are clear and to the point. EXCELLENT JOB " - Paolo Cavalli
The Haunted Pack is arguably the strongest card trick possible—a card moves from the deck ON ITS OWN. Yet, why is it that so few magicians use this trick? It's not difficult. But it normally uses thread, and this makes it difficult to perform in many well-lit venues, during the day, or up close. Plus, some of us simply don't feel comfortable doing magic with such fragile invisible thread.
Well, there is FINALLY another solution. Eric Richardson's Momentum is a Haunted Pack style effect WITH NO THREADS OR GIMMICKS. Imagine spreading cards in your hand and causing a THOUGHT-OF card to slowly, eerily SPIN OUT OF THE SPREAD. Your hands are completely still. Now, imagine doing this with a REGULAR PACK OF CARDS. Momentum is a revolutionary concept in playing card animation, and we see this becoming a regular staple of your repertoire. Look at the trailer...truly unbelievable. As you have come to expect from Vanishing Inc, the tutorial is in impeccable detail and high definition, nearly an hour in length, and all for just TEN DOLLARS.
This effect can be learned in less than an hour, as you follow along with the brilliant Eric Richardson as he teaches you each detail, step by step. Richardson is not the first to attempt to perform a Haunted Pack without gimmicks, but we believe his version is by far the best, and radically different in approach.
Description : This move allows you to control a card to the top or to the bottom of the deck. You can also use it to do a Force or a Switch. This move comes up with multiple variations and 4 tricks
Air : Four Aces are placed on the table and a card is selected. The card are placed betwwen the Aces and vanish to reappear face down in the middle of the pack. This trick is a variation of Earl Nelson's "Between Your Points of Departure" trick
Blueside : Four red backed Aces are on the table. Spectator selected a card in a blue backed deck. The red backed Aces morphed one at the time into the selected card. But this was just an illusion
Oxycolor : A very strong color changing deck routine
IMPORTANT: This is NOT an opening effect. If used as an opening trick, make it your ONLY trick and walk away... we've discovered that NOTHING can follow Shift.
You can now perform the impossible action of bending a fork INSIDE your SPECTATOR'S HAND, in plain view, for the world to witness every surreal moment.
