The Best Effect Using Only One Card

Try as you might, you will never get the kind of reactions that you can get from just one card with Matthew Wright's new effect, Reform 52. 

A torn and restored like no other, Reform 52 allows you to tear up any single card in the deck and have it reform into a freaky Frankenstein card that just shouldn't be able to exist. 

Strat by having your spectator freely select a card from a deck. You methodically and maniacally tear that card into four quadrants which you then let the spectator shuffle AND sign! 

Now, with your magical gesture of choice, you take the stack of card pieces and unfold them, revealing the card has been joined back together. Instead of returning to its original state, though, the card pieces have been joined together at random, with some facing forward, some backward. The top might be on the bottom and the bottom might be on top. But their signatures are still in place. 

What you're left with is a truly impossible object. There's no other explanation for the mutilated card they hold now. 

Now you may be thinking. This looks great, but surely it requires complicate sleights, difficult palms, or other sneaky business, but you'd be DEAD WRONG! Reform 52 is ridiculously easy to perform, and your act will be the better for it! 

Reform 52 is available at any Murphy's Magic dealer, or you can check out with our featured dealer, Alakazam Magic!
