Torn. Burned. Restored.

Wayne Houchin - creator of French Kiss, Control, and Thread - presents an incredible, practical, piece-by-piece restoration of a torn playing card.

A single playing card is torn into pieces - then visually restored under impossible conditions. Each piece seemingly fuses onto the next, leaving your audience with one of the most memorable souvenirs they've ever been given. They'll keep it forever.

18 Years in the Making

On November 27th, 1996, Wayne watched in awe as Guy Hollingworth performed on NBC's World's Greatest Magic. With that inspiration, Counterfeit was born. It can be performed surrounded, allowing your spectators to experience the effect from every angle. The card can be handed out for immediate examination. Let them keep it.
