More than a single trick, this routine starts with ripping off the covers from any popular magazine. One of the corner pieces may be saved for later identification when the pages are restored. Not to be confused with anything ever described before in print. This miracle was awarded "a special orchid for an original twist in magazine paper tearing" from The Sphinx magician's magazine.
Use a current magazine from any newsstand. (Preferably larger than digest size, so that the entire audience can see it.)
Explicitly printed instructions with illustrations and many suggestions for variations - including a production follow-up that's sure to please the open-minded performer. And this is not just for professionals. It makes an excellent effect for the ambitious novice willing to work out the few simple moves so that they blend smoothly.
