TNR by Matthieu Bich

jackiecresh · 12-10-2007, 10:13 AM

I recently received this one as an early Christmas present, so I thought that I'd share a quick review with you.

THE EFFECT:
Mess up a prediction, then tear up the card that you messed up with. Visibly restore the card, and the restored card is the card that they chose!

REVIEWING IT:
For such a powerful piece of visual work, it's quite simplistic in its makings. I enjoyed watching the video several times to learn not only how to present the trick, but how to build the gimmicked card involved. It's similar in tone and presentation to the TNR that David Copperfield did, yet has a completely separate and easier method of transposition and presentation that is a sure fire conversation stopper if performed right.

THE GIMMICK:
Pretty easy to make, but looks like it could take some practice. The person representing the trick on the video originally took appx 30 minutes, and that's about right for your first few gimmicks. With time and practice you'll be building the gimmick in 5 to 10 minutes.

DRAWBACK:
The one drawback to this particular version of TNR is the re-usability of the Gimmick. While they're easy to make, it seems that with each gimmick you're only able to perform the trick a handful of times before the tack wears off and you're stuck having to break in a new one.

Hope this helps anyone who's looking to either purchase or DL this trick!

I've been looking at this TnR effect for some time. You mentioned about Torn Asunder as performed by David Copperfield, no doubt they looked similar, however, the baseball card effect done by DC was never released to the public.

Thanks again for your great thoughts on Mathieu Bich's TnR, loved it!

i think the same i saw the video recently and i liked it though i don't really like the idea of a card rip it and it changes to the card and not being able to be inspected. Because first when i showed it they were like thats not the same card it is gimmicked and i got really mad

Agent MB · 01-16-2008, 12:52 AM

how did david copperfield did that? the gimmick of TnR is quite good though

optimus prime · 01-29-2008, 08:18 PM

yeah i actually prefer this over a lot of others...this and 0630 are my favs.. they are both similar but front/back variations of each other in a way,,, thanks for the review- OP

I like the kicker in the end. Really caught me off guard.

i have try this trick it's so nice effect at the end wow the card change XD

I don't aggree too much at all. Reread the other thread there is. >Click<

Telling the gimmick is easy to make is simply a joke. Actually you could tell a beginner doing an ACR is easy - you simply have to practice half a year. And it's the same with almost everything: Once you learned it it's easy.

But compared with all the other gimmicks there are i guess over 80% of them are way easier to produce.

Imo there are better TnRs... But this is neat anyway because its fun blabal I've said that before, read the link.

lately it seems like a lot of t&r effects are coming out. almost like the past 6 months 50 different coin in bottle effects. im still not sure which one i like the best. i love torn, but its so hard for me to perform. i think i ll give this one a shot.

myloo · 02-20-2008, 10:47 PM

I think this is the best TNR card effect ever!
but the making the gimmick is so complicate

How so? I saw the exposed gimmick, went to work with my airline deck and voila! Though applying the tack is dodgy......

i havent heard of the 0630 effect. whos effect is it?

trebmalrolyat · 03-02-2008, 03:23 PM

i hate the method for this T&R

AndyP · 03-02-2008, 06:18 PM

It looks better on the vid than in reality

auron · 03-03-2008, 11:43 PM

True, but most things do. That's what advertising exists for. And if I'm not wrong, 0630 is created by this Azn guy (can't remember his name - I think Hung Lo) but he has about 4 TnR effects that are pretty good.

Youtube it.
