Fielding West uses the Al Baker Newspaper Tear as a jumping off point for some great comedy and classic magic while Richard Osterlind actually has the newspaper signed before tearing it up and completely restoring it. Paul Potassy's continental style of performing in no way prepares the audience for the diabolical trap he sets for them as he not only tears up and restores a newspaper, but in offering to explain how it's done, leaves the audience even more baffled. On this video, you'll meet six master magicians who each has their own singular take on this magical classic. Newspapers and magazines are objects that almost everyone interacts with on a daily basis so when a magician picks up one of these seemingly ordinary items and performs a highly visual, veritable miracle with it, people immediately take notice. One of magic's most enduring effects has always been the Torn and Restored Newspaper, and for good reason.

Each volume covers a specific subject and features new, old, and sometimes rare footage by some of the top video producers in magic. Linking rings, sponge balls, metal bending, cups and balls, thumb tips, Zombie, color-changing knives, and many, many more topics are all gathered in this one terrific video reference set. It's a fabulous compendium with many of the top masters in the world of magic teaching their handlings and routines for some of magic's classics. If you could have one set of magic videos, this would be it! This benchmark collection features just about all of magic's most enduring and classic effects and routines. Imagine the best magic, the best magicians, and the best producers all in one place. A 'tear-able' collection featuring one of the greatest tricks in magic!
