SoloTear automates the time-honored and powerful torn corner dodge, so you'll never have to switch another corner again. Even more importantly, it does so without expensive gimmicks. You have a card selected, tear off the corner in full view, and immediately hand it to the spectator for safekeeping. No fumbling, no false moves. The corner you actually tear off is the corner he gets. If you like, he can even initial it at this point. The rest of the card (yes it's the same card) is then torn up and burned or otherwise destroyed. Or, if you prefer...vanished. The restored card is then produced from whichever location you like and the corner fits exactly!
Like most effects from Trickshop, this is a bargain. For £2.50 you get detailed instructions for an effect that is so simple (in a good way) that you can use it several times per night in close up, with just a few minutes preparation. This simple method makes sense, and, as mentioned there’s no switching, which makes this very easy to perform. GH
What's Hot: a simple method to add a classic effect. Bargain price
What's Not: the torn piece of card cannot be torn haphazardly, which is more
natural
