This routine transforms a standard card trick into a stunning piece of impossible magic, providing a tangible souvenir that reinforces the experience.

The Impossible Effect: Torn, Stapled, and Restored
Imagine this: A spectator freely selects a card, which can be signed for undeniable authenticity. You then clearly fold and tear off one corner of the card. Promising a restoration, you introduce a mini stapler. In a baffling sequence, the torn corner is stapled back onto the card, but impossibly, in its center. Both sides of the card are shown, with the corner visibly secured by the staple.
Then, with a gentle pass of your hand, the corner visually melts through the staple, returning to its original position at the corner of the card. The restored card, complete with a staple still impossibly located in its center and residual staple holes on the corner, can be immediately handed out for thorough examination. This unique, impossible souvenir ensures the magic moment is remembered long after the performance.

Slipstream by Eric Stevens is not only one of the most visual, unique and practical torn and restored cards, but it is quickly becoming a staple (pun intended) in many magician’s repertoire.
Here is what happens; A freely chosen card is selected, removed from the deck and, if desired, signed by the spectator. You then proceed to fold and tear off one corner of the selected card. Explaining that you will restore the card back to normal, you proceed to bring out a mini stapler. You then staple the torn corner of the card back on the card but in an abnormal position, in the center of the selected torn card. After clearly showing both sides of the card the corner is stapled to the card. You then bring your hand over the stapled corner and slowly the corner is passed through the staple and is completely restored back to the corner of the card where it started. The card can be immediately handed out, examined and kept as a one of a kind souvenir. Although the staple remains in the center of the card after the card is restored, the corner still has the holes from the staple!
You will receive everything you need to perform Slipstream right out of the box. This effect will come with a mini stapler, staples and 2 pre-assembled red and blue gimmicks as well as extra pieces to assemble your own gimmicks to any of your favorite decks.
