The Torn and Restored Project is a revolutionary collection of Torn and Restored card effects.
It is a two-DVD set comprising "Fire in the Hole" and "Four".
DVD 1 - Fire in the Hole
THE MOST ANTICIPATED TORN & RESTORED CARD EFFECT IS FINALLY RELEASED! 'Fire In The Hole' - A flash restoration using a pyro paper 'granade'. Huron offers the original plus 2 varations of this effect which are instant killers and magician foolers. A card is freely selected and is signed twice on the back by a spectator, on the top and on the bottom. Details are then written on the face of the card, making the card significantly unique. ANY signature is selected and cleanly sliced out with a pen-knife. A "time bomb" is introduced and placed over the hole. The bomb is lit and bursts into flames, enveloping the hole in a swirl of fire, VISUALLY SEALING the hole, blasting the card back in time so it is now FULLY RESTORED. The card is then immediately handed out for examination and can be kept by the spectator as a souvenir, the effect, scorched into his mind for eternity. Features: Extremely visual. The card is freely selected, no forces or duplicates. The card can be signed on both sides by the spectators. Only ONE card is used in the whole routine, the one the spectator keeps as a souvenir. An ingenious gimmick that can be used over and over again makes it all possible. The card is fully examinable before and after the effect. The reset time is a mere 3 seconds. All the effects have MULTI-ANGLED studio performances and tutorials and explain everything in vivid detail. Multiple handlings of Fire in the Hole including fire and non-fire restorations.
Huron has filmed brand new BONUS footage that has been added to the existing footage! Months ago, Huron put together some teaching footage that he shared with a select few to rave reviews. Whilst it was enough for the basic routines... many ideas, alternate handlings, and psychological subtleties he guarded for years were left out. 
BONUS FOOTAGE: Subtleties and the psychology of every effect are discussed in depth, making every routine a pure work of art. Alternate handlings for every effect are given to suit your performance style with multiple endings to choose from. Huron has now included a way to restore Fire in the Hole without fire, and without any cover. Yes, with a gentle touch the cut-out piece with the spectator's signature fuses back onto the signed, cut card IN FULL VIEW WITH NO COVER WHATSOEVER. Literally touching, fusing, and handing it out for examination. Included is a way to have the signed cut-out piece ripped into shreds by the spectator, then in an instant, having the pieces restore, and have that piece restore back on the signed card at the same time! How the Legend Began. A performance video of the basic effect was made in 2003 for a select few, but it eventually surfaced and was spread amongst magicians throughout the world. Many suspected the use of camera trickery and the effect became that of a myth, a legend that could not possibly exist. A part of Huron wanted to release the effect to prove them wrong, but the other guarded its secret jealously. He ended up performing this live at conventions to prove that this was real, and for the past 4 years, those who have seen and now know have relentlessly contacted him, literally begging for its release. He has rejected countless requests and offers... until now. Not only is its premise impossible... Fire in the hole has solved the flaws of every other existing torn and restored around. It was ahead of its time when it was created, and it still is. Why Fire in the Hole? Most T&Rs require the destruction of two cards every single time. Fire in the Hole uses one card, and utilizes an ingenious gimmick that can be used over and over again. Most T&Rs require a force of the selection. The selection in Fire in the Hole is a free choice. Most T&Rs are very angle sensitive and can be only performed to one person at a time. Fire in the Hole has a beautiful angle range and he has performed this at conventions for hundreds at a time. Most T&Rs are not versatile and require a lot of cover. Fire in the Hole can be restored with or without fire, neither requiring any cover. Yes, the cut-out piece can literally fuse back to the card with a gentle touch. Most T&Rs utilize duplicate cards. Fire in the Hole only uses one card, and thus does not need any duplicates. Most T&Rs look EXACTLY THE SAME, and do not suggest a magical process for which the restoration occurs. Fire in the Hole's fusion of time-travel and fire is perfect motivation for the restoration. There has never been a torn and restored that even comes close to what Fire in the Hole is and looks like. Most T&Rs have selections that cannot be signed on both sides, and at times cannot be signed at all, greatly weakening the effect. The selection in Fire in the Hole is signed on BOTH sides, multiple times. The selection is also fully examinable. Most T&Rs have an approximate one minute reset time. Fire in the Hole has a 3 second reset time. DVD 2 - 'Four' By Huron Low Four effects that change the way you will look at the torn and restored plot forever. After embracing the principles that led to the Fire in the Hole revolution, Huron Low's new understanding has made him even more intrigued with the plot. He experimented with card mismatches, color changes, gradual regeneration of cards, the manipulation of ink on a card, spitting of a ripped piece back onto a card and more. This led to the birth of an entire series of T&Rs, brand new takes in leagues of their own! Angel Any card is selected by the spectator, who signs all over its face with permanent ink. The angel at the back of the signed bicycle card is then colored a solid black with the same marker. The magician blows over the ink, even rubbing it with his fingertips, proving that it is a permanent mark over the now dark angel. With a gentle wave the ink on the angel visually fades away, morphing back into the angel; the signature on its face still permanently etched on, a symbol of the impossible occurrence. Angel Redux The angel at the back of a signed, freely selected bicycle card is cleanly sliced out with a pen-knife, leaving a circular hole in the selection. With a gentle wave, the angel visually and gradually regenerates in full view, making the card whole once again. Hotspot A signed card is folded in half and has its middle ripped out. First the ripped out piece teleports from the magician's pocket back to the destroyed card, fully restoring it. Then the piece is ripped out again and placed in the magician's mouth. He spits it out at the torn area, visually restoring the card with absolutely no cover. Making Ends Meet All piece by piece restorations look the same, except this one. This is as clean and visual as piece by piece torn and restored card effects go. A quarter is ripped off a signed card and handed to the spectator. Another quarter is torn off, making it a long half-card. That long piece is ripped into two and fused back on the other ripped sides, creating the first mismatch. Now the last piece is removed and restored... but on the wrong side, resulting in a visual oddity. This next phase is almost eerie. The magician merely gazes at the last piece, and it suddenly shifts, steadily sliding by its fibres over to the correct side. Finally, the last piece is that the spectator has been holding onto the entire time suddenly changes in colour, permanently mismatching it from the rest of the card. All the effects have MULTI-ANGLED studio performances and tutorials and explain everything in painstaking detail. All the routines leave the spectator-signed card examinable after the effect, and the cards can be given out as souvenirs. These routines are visual, hard-hitting, and direct. There is something for everybody here, and every effect is as powerful as the other in different situations.

I have included a way in Angel to have the ink visually morph into the card's value rather than just fade away. I have included a way to conceal folded cards in your hands as an alternative to finger palming. Think easy, natural, and INVISIBLE. I have included many more ideas that take this plot to a much higher level then ever seen before.'
