Here's the killer effect Shawn has kept secret for over a decade. It's the effect Shawn does when he want to get a client to book him again and again! Basically a real photograph signed by the spectator is torn into four pieces. The photo is really torn. Then in an instant all four pieces join together but in the wrong order leaving the spectator with a mismatched photo with their signature! That's right their signature is on the odd "almost restored" photo. You get a sample of the photograph, Adobe Photoshop template, jpeg of two additional photo's already prepared and a detailed instructional DVD that explains how you can start doing this trick.

(Please note you will need access to an ink jet / laser printer or a digital photo center to make additional photo's.)

In the 70 year history of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, no other magician has ever been awarded the first prize in BOTH sleight of Hand and Stage magic. In the 75 year history of the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians only five magicians have ever reached a level of excellence to merit the awarding of the Grand Prix D'Honeur. In fact Shawn is the only magician in the past two decades to be given this honor.After all ... it's his job!
