Description

“I really do like T-REX and have used it regularly over the last year. It is indeed excellent and extremely utilitarian. It is one of the smoothest and most efficient tears I’ve seen.” -Bob Cassidy

“It’s the single best Center Tear I’ve seen in 20 years. For Real!” -Jerome Finley

“T-REX is quite simply perfect. I’m now convinced a center tear can be fast and invisible whilst allowing you to see roughly 75% of the billet after just one tear. Please read that sentence again. This is the way we’ll all be doing center tears as of 2013. Fact!” -Colin McLeod

“Finding the way to the center has yielded many solutions, but only a few feel as natural and as smooth as Ran Pink’s T-REX.” -Patrick Redford

“I saw Ran perform T-REX and I was amazed. Then he taught me the moves and I was even more astounded! So easy, practical, and very smart. This is by far the best Center Tear I have ever seen. I’m definitely going to use it!” -Haim Goldenberg

Create the illusion of REAL mindreading in the most direct, personal, casual and powerful way, and be able to do it anytime with nothing more than a pen and piece of paper. It’s classic and simple, yet so strong that it can bring people to tears.

In 2010 Ran began experimenting with an approach that could get him to the information faster than any move that has ever existed before. He wanted to rip the paper, making it seem un-needed and dispose of it like it was irrelevant. Yet he still wanted to access the information instantly without having to steal pieces or turning around for the peek.

He wanted to move away from the origami-like, methodical tearing, and focus on a bolder move, one which would allow him to gain information after the first tear if he so pleased. Yet, it had to appear natural with no apparent unfolding motions. This is how T-REX came to be.

• • Never look at your hands as you rip the paper

• • No fumbling with too many pieces

• • Easy to navigate by touch alone

This was a breakthrough for Ran Pink that shifted the way he performed the Center Tear.

Learn Ran Pink’s T-REX ripping technique and then explore alternative handlings, additional subtleties, presentational ideas and the logic of the whole process.

“How do you justify tearing up the paper?”
“Why write it down?”

These questions are addressed inside the book as well as presentation ideas from some of the greatest minds in magic and mentalism .

T-REX includes a Foreword by Richard Osterlind (the man that started the instant access Center Tear revolution) which contains a brief history of the instant access center tear.

As a extra bonus you’ll also learn “LSD T-REX”: A revolutionary TWO-CARD Center Tear.
