       THE WAIT IS OVER.THE REVOLUTION IS HERE. “…a fusion of time-travel and fire.” Years ago I embarked on a journey to bring the torn and restored card effect to a higher level.I named it “The T&R Project”This is how it all began.One day as I held a lighter I visualized a gaping hole in a signed card engulfed in flames, visually restoring in a swirl of fire.But how was I to create something that looked like it came out a Hollywood movie, make it practical, and not have it cost a million dollars?The masterpiece was born, and I named it Fire in the Hole. TRAILERhttp://in.youtube.com/watch?v=000Hq_pOsX8Here are some features: Extremely visual.The card is freely selected, no forces or duplicates.The card can be signed on both sides by the spectators.Only ONE card is used in the whole routine, the one the spectator keeps as a souvenir. An ingenious gimmick that can be used over and over again makes it all possible.The card is fully examinable before and after the effect.The reset time is a mere 3 seconds.All the effects have MULTI-ANGLED studio performances and tutorials and explain everything in vivid detail.Multiple handlings of Fire in the Hole including fire and non-fire restorations. Here’s what it is in more detail.A card is freely selected and is signed twice on the back by a spectator, on the top and on the bottom. Details are then written on the face of the card, making the card significantly unique. ANY signature is selected and cleanly sliced out with a pen-knife.A “time bomb” is introduced and placed over the hole.The bomb is lit and bursts into flames, enveloping the hole in a swirl of fire, VISUALLY SEALING the hole, blasting the card back in time so it is now FULLY RESTORED.The card is then immediately handed out for examination and can be kept by the spectator as a souvenir, the effect, scorched into his mind for eternity. Here’s something I’d like everyone to know.I have filmed brand new BONUS footage that will be added to the existing footage .Months ago, I put together some teaching footage that I shared with a select few to rave reviews.Whilst it was enough for the basic routines… many ideas, alternate handlings, and psychological subtleties I guarded for years were left out. BONUS FOOTAGE:Subtleties and the psychology of every effect are discussed in depth, making every routine a pure work of art.Alternate handlings for every effect are given to suit your performance style with multiple endings to choose from.I have now included a way to restore Fire in the Hole without fire, and without any cover.Yes, with a gentle touch the cut-out piece with the spectator’s signature fuses back onto the signed, cut card IN FULL VIEW WITH NO COVER WHATSOEVER.Literally touching, fusing, and handing it out for examination. I have included a way to have the signed cut-out piece ripped into shreds by the spectator, then in an instant, having the pieces restore, and have that piece restore back on the signed card at the same time! How the Legend Began.A performance video of the basic effect was made in 2003 for a select few, but it eventually surfaced and was spread amongst magicians throughout the world. Many suspected the use of camera trickery and the effect became that of a myth, a legend that could not possibly exist. A part of me wanted to release the effect to prove them wrong, but the other guarded its secret jealously. I ended up performing this live at conventions to prove that this was real, and for the past 4 years, those who have seen and now know have relentlessly contacted me, literally begging for its release. I have rejected countless requests and offers… until now. Not only is its premise impossible…Fire in the hole has solved the flaws of every other existing torn and restored around.It was ahead of its time when it was created, and it still is. Why Fire in the Hole? Most T&Rs require the destruction of two cards every single time.Fire in the Hole uses one card, and utilizes an ingenious gimmick that can be used over and over again. Most T&Rs require a force of the selection.The selection in Fire in the Hole is a free choice. Most T&Rs are very angle sensitive and can be only performed to one person at a time.Fire in the Hole has a beautiful angle range and I have performed this at conventions for hundreds at a time. Most T&Rs are not versatile and require a lot of cover.Fire in the Hole can be restored with or without fire, neither requiring any cover. Yes, the cut-out piece can literally fuse back to the card with a gentle touch. Most T&Rs utilize duplicate cards.Fire in the Hole only uses one card, and thus does not need any duplicates. Most T&Rs look EXACTLY THE SAME, and do not suggest a magical process for which the restoration occurs.Fire in the Hole’s fusion of time-travel and fire is perfect motivation for the restoration.There has never been a torn and restored that even comes close to what Fire in the Hole is and looks like. Most T&Rs have selections that cannot be signed on both sides, and at times cannot be signed at all, greatly weakening the effect.The selection in Fire in the Hole is signed on BOTH sides, multiple times. The selection is also fully examinable. Most T&Rs have an approximate one minute reset time.Fire in the Hole has a 3 second reset time. The wait is over.
