Effect:  You have two cards freely selected and signed by spectators. You openly tear both cards into quarters. The spectators actually see you count the separate quarters. Yet, in an instant, both cards are fully restored and given out for examination. Nothing is added or taken away! Any cards can be used and they are not prepared in any way! They can look all they want for the gaff, they wont find it.because there is none to find! In an era when another torn and restored card seems to appear every week, CARDBOARD CONTORTIONISTS remains one of the most practical and unique approaches to the whole concept! Remember these important points: the cards are freely selected and signed (no forces of any kind are used), absolutely no preparation is needed, there are no extra pieces to add or ditch, it can be performed at any moment in your routine, it plays well for a wide range of venues...even smaller standup shows! The manuscript is well written and includes over two dozen detailed illustrations.
