Intro: So I decided to purchase Impromptorn, and after playing around with it, I decided to upload a review for it. So here is…


The Review​


Trick: Impromptorn

Created By: David Fulde

History: David explains that he has been working on this effect for over 2 years and started out as something called ‘Convalescent’, so he took it back to the drawing board improved it and it started from there.

Effect: A freely selected card, signed by the spectator is folded and torn into four pieces. The pieces are held in the mouth and are restored one by one in the cleanest manner. The card is then handed out immediately for examination and kept by the spectator.
Alternative Ending: Once restored the magician can iron out the creases leaving it back to its orignal state or end with a transformation.

Notes: Completely impromptu restoration and Variations taught

Cost: £8.50/$12.37

Genre: Card Magic

Demo/Product: http://deechristophermagic.com/impromptorn.cfm

Format: Instant Download PDF

Quality: The booklet is broken into sections , steps and layed out very cleanly and simple. There are photos to help with the restorations and where they go. And the cover looks fantastic.

Layout: Original Handling: (See Effect Above)

Impromptorn Two: Once the third piece is restored the card is folded up and the last piece and folded ‘card’ is placed in the spectators fist. Upon opening their hand they find that the piece has restored itself.

Creases One: After a torn and restored card effect you visually and cleanly remove the creases from the card, slowly with no funny moves at all.

Creases Two: A spectator is invited to chooses a card and sign it. The card is accidentily lost and the magician has the spectator to choose a different card and sign it if they want too. The card is torn and restored piece by piece and the creases are removed. The card is turned over to show that it has changed to the first signed card selection.

Final Notes: Small tips and advice.

Thank-Yous: Credits and inspirations for all you helped.

Teaching: The teaching is very easy to follow along and very understandable.

Dirtiness: You end messing and a little dirty in this, but it can be easily clean-up.

Clean-Up: Simple and justified.

Angles: 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock just the same about any torn and restored card effect.

Difficulty: Intermediate: On a scale of 1-10 (Ten being the hardest), I say it’s about a
5. It will be easy for any advanced card magicians; beginners will need some time and practice to make the moves and restorations perfect, natural and flawless.

Overall: This is definitely a good T&R effect. I enjoyed the extra ideas and thoughts contained inside.

Very cool. Nice review. I think I might pick this up soon. For the price it sounds like a great deal and the fact that it's impromptu makes me happy :) .

I'm always really skeptical when people say "impromptu," because it never usually means impromptu. So let me ask you this:

Say I'm stranded on a desert island, completely naked with nothing but a single playing card. Will I be able to perform this effect for the cannibals to convince them I'm a god?

No, But then, why would you ever need to do that?

You WILL destroy a card each time - You can't actually rip something up and then put it back together, magic ISN'T real.

I stand behind my products 100% and I'm more than happy to stress that this is impromptu. You just need a deck of cards, that's it. one deck.

You could borrow the cards.

I too don't really like when people say it's completely impromptu...as long as you have a magnet strapped to your wrist or something, but when it's a card trick, I think impromptu can stretch to you requiring a deck of cards.

Hey, fair enough. I've never been disappointed with a single thing I've gotten from Mindlapse, which is a lot more than I can say for some other magic producers. Thanks Dee.

No problems Ben, I'm sure you'll love it!

I just got it and I do. I've been looking for a really good TNR for years now. One that fulfills all of my criteria of being 100% impromptu, 100% examinable, and 100% visual. It's impossible to have all three, I've found, but this one comes pretty damn close. If someone hands me a deck and asks to see something truly magical, I think I've now got something that will satiate such a request.

Can the crease restorations be applied to different T&Rs (different methods)? Or is it specifically made for the methodology of Impromptorn? I'm not sure I'm ready to let go of The Reformation just yet ^^

yes, the creases may be adapted to other TnR's I give guidelines on how to do this.

Hey David, it's nice to see you finallly get your TnR out there. I still couldn't believe seeing the restoration when I saw it on Stickam. Anyways, congratulations!

I'm going to have my review up very soon. Impromptorn is great. While Ripped and Fryed in my opinion is awesome and a lot more practical it is not a FOUR piece restoration like this one. With that being said, Ripped and Fryed and Impromptorn are the only 2 TnR's I'd ever perform with what is currently on the market.
