Introduction:
Hi, I’m James Watkins, the guy behind it all. I’ve spent the past year and some
months working on Phoenix Rising, trying to bring out all of it’s potential. The effect,
methods, preparations, etc., have all been through changes which ended up altering
each other in it’s own form, which of course, just made it better. At a time, I thought
this was only going to be my little “Pet Trick”, which is to say a routine I could use
just for myself when I saw fit. Well, here we are today, and if you are reading this, I
guess you can say it is not just ‘my’ Pet Trick, but maybe something you can use as
well. You are about to take a smooth journey into “Get the Hell Outta Here
Boulevard.” This one is sure to grab anyone’s attention, and leave them totally
mystified. This is one you will use, and one you will surely grow to love.

Keep it real,

James Watkins
Effect:
A card is freely selected; the spectator signs their name on the face of the card, and the
magician signs his/her name on the back. A few pieces of paper are introduced and one is
freely selected by the spectator. After the paper is selected, the freely chosen card is
visually ripped into four pieces and wrapped up inside of the chosen piece of paper, lit and
in the blink of an eye, the paper along with the shredded up card has vanished. The
magician shows his hands empty and his sleeves rolled up. The magician draws attention
to his pocket, and slowly and fairly reaches in to grab none other than the spectator’s
freely chosen card!!!

 An excellent new outlook to the torn and restored card plot!

Here is what the OTHERS are saying:

"A simple yet powerful piece of magic! The flash of fire truly adds elegance to this
classic effect! Well done James!”- Peter Loughran- www.masterofillusions.ca

“One of my favorite torn and restored card routines!” -Yousif Salhab- Creator of
Impression Card Prediction

"Phoenix Rising is the most original torn and restored card plot to come out in years.
It is not just someone else's take on the same plot, but a completely new and innovative
effect unlike any other of its kind." - Michael Omega-

“The most practical version of a card-to-pocket routine, with the bonus of a torn and
restored card plot wrapped into one knockout performance. The flames add a flare
that will not be soon forgotten.” –Justin Garny-
Preparation:
You need to have five pieces of flash paper or no less than three if at all possible. The
recommended size is 2X3; make sure not to go too big. If you only have one piece that is
fine as well, just try to be set with at least 3-5. (The flash paper is available at most magic
shops and online magic stores.) Take the flash paper and place them on the table to one
side. Get a lighter or a book of matches and place it into your right pants pocket. Now
take any card with a matching back to your deck, and sign your name on the back of it,
and place it on the bottom of your deck of cards. (Figure 1 A- Set up card to go on
bottom of the deck.) Also have a Sharpie Marker handy. Now you are ready to begin!
(Figure 2 A- Shows all materials) We will call this preparation Standard Prep.

Figure 1 A

Figure 2 A

* There are a few reasons you should be set with 3-5 pieces of flash paper. One reason is
so you can perform it again if you wish. The other is to have more time during the big
move. In all likeliness when you have it examined, they will examine all pieces. This gives
you more time for the move.
Method:
To make this examinable just simply fan through the deck face up. This will be convincing
enough. Also if you want to show the backs, fan through the deck until you get five cards
from the bottom. Stop fanning and square the pack up. You will now follow with the
method below for the performance:

Have a spectator select any card. You need to sign the card first on the back and make
sure you sign it as identical as possible, so it nearly matches the back of the card on the
bottom of the deck. After it is signed hand the card to the spectator along with the marker.
While they are signing it, slip the bottom card to the top of the deck, which should be the
card you have signed. (Figure 3 A- Shows bottom card being slipped to top.).

Figure 3 A

With the deck in the left hand you need to tilt the deck, so the backs of the cards are
facing you; the proper term for this is necktie. This is so the set up card on the top of the
deck does not flash. When they get done signing it, take the card back and place it on top
of the deck. You can now tilt the deck back to the normal position in the left hand. You
now want to bring attention to the flash paper on the table; refer to it as "paper" to the
spectators. Have them reach onto the table and select any one of the pieces, and to
examine them if they wish.. When they are doing this, you want to palm off the top card,
which should be the selection. (Figure 4 A- Shows palm) To palm it, holding the deck in
the left hand, using the left thumb, slip the card into the right palm, holding your hand in a
curved position to hold the card in place. The spectator will not suspect a palm off, simply
because the set up card has your signature on it also.
Figure 4 A

The card should be palmed in your right hand. Tell the spectator you will need the
assistance from a lighter or a book of matches, whichever you have placed in your pocket.
Reach into your right pants pocket and bring out the lighter and at the same time drop the
palmed card there. (Figure 5 A- Palmed card in pocket, now displaying lighter.)

Figure 5 A

Make sure while doing the ditch it is done smoothly; do not make a move out of this. Take
the top card off of the deck, which should be the set up card. Make sure the cards face is
facing you. You can now place the deck to one side. Take the set up card and rip it into
four (4) pieces, and fairly display the pieces, just make sure not to flash the face of them.
(Figure 6 A- Shows 4 ripped pieces.)
Figure 6 A

Get the flash paper the spectator has selected; refer to it as paper to the spectators, and
with the torn card you want to fold the torn pieces together to make it smaller to put in
the flash paper. Act like you are wrapping the torn pieces in the flash paper, but just
secretly finger palm the torn pieces. (Figure 7 A- Wrapping card in paper and slipping
it out into the left fingers.) To do this, holding the torn pieces in the left hand, place the
torn pieces in the center of the paper holding them in place with the left thumb. With the
right side of the paper fold it over. After this portion is folded over, you will squeeze the
torn pieces with the right thumb, thus causing the torn pieces to slip out from the left side
into your left hand fingers. You will now fold the flash paper until it is folded into a
square. Do not bring too much attention to the flash paper, or they will be able to tell
there is nothing in it.

Figure 7 A

Take your lighter or matches and hand it to the spectator. You now want to grab the
marker on the table in the left hand, while the right hand holds the flash paper, and place
the marker in your left pants pocket, explaining you will not longer need it. While you are
doing this, you will ditch the torn pieces as well. Your hands are now clean! Now, with
the folded flash paper in the right hand allow the spectator to light the flash paper. As
soon as the lighter/matches make contact, release the paper to avoid getting burned. When
the flash paper is lit, it will go up in a big flame and vanish quickly. (Figure 8 A- Shows
marker and torn pieces going into pocket. Figure 9 A- Shows flash paper being lit.)
Figure 8 A

Figure 9 A

Show your hands empty, and draw attention to your right pants pocket. Slowly and fairly
reach into the pocket and slowly reveal their selected card. (Figure 9 & 10 A- Shows
selection being revealed from pocket).

Alternate Handling Number 1
Close Up Mat Appearance:

Effect:
A card is freely selected; the spectator signs their name on the face of the card, and the
magician signs his/her name on the back. A few pieces of paper are introduced and one is
freely selected by the spectator. A close up mat is now introduced and shown to have
nothing under it. The freely chosen card, which has been in view the entire time, is then
visually ripped into four pieces and wrapped up inside of the chosen piece of paper, lit and
in the blink of an eye, the paper along with the shredded up card has vanished. The
magician shows his hands empty and his sleeves rolled up. The spectator is invited to lift
up the close up mat and they are shocked to see their selected and signed card!!!

Preparation:
Follow up with the Standard Prep. Also have a close up mat. The minimum size for the
close up mat is 9X13, but any mat bigger than that would be better.

Method:
With the same explanation as above, instead of putting the chosen card into the pocket,
you will have it palmed, as described above in the right hand, and lift up the close up mat
to show there is nothing under it. This is where you will load the card onto the bottom of
the mat. Lay the mat down casually so the card does not flash. (Figure 1 B- Shows
palmed card being loaded onto the bottom of the mat, Figure 2 B- Shows mat being
laid down with card under it).
You will now go through with the routine the same way as the previous method.

While this is a cool way to reveal the card, it is quite bold, but if you wish to do it and get
the reaction, go for it!

Alternate Handling Number 2
Envelope Usage:

Effect:
A card is freely selected; the spectator signs their name on the face of the card, and the
magician signs his/her name on the back. An envelope is introduced with five pieces of
paper. The spectator removes any one of the pieces. After the paper is selected, the freely
chosen card is visually ripped into four pieces and wrapped up inside of the chosen piece
of paper. The paper is lit by the spectator and in the blink of an eye, the paper along with
the shredded up card has vanished. The magician shows his hands empty and his sleeves
rolled up. The magician draws attention to his pocket, and slowly and fairly reaches in to
grab none other than the spectator’s freely chosen card!!!

Preparation:
Follow up with the Standard Prep. Exclude the flash paper being on the table and place
3-5 pieces of it in an envelope. Place the envelope to one side on a table, or let the
spectator hold it.

Method:
Follow with the same procedures as above until you get ready to introduce the paper.
With this method, the spectator will reach into the envelope and remove any piece. While
they are doing this, you will palm off the top card using the method as described above.
After they have selected the paper, have them place it on the table in front of you. This is
when you will reach into your pocket and place the palmed card there and bring out the
lighter.

In this method, the envelope is more of a misdirection piece. This one was designed for
the ones who do not yet have the courage to do the palming right under their spectator’s
noses. I, myself, use this one a lot depending on how many people are around. This is a
good handling for when you have 2-5 spectators, since all their attention will also be on
the envelope. Enjoy!
Alternate Handling Number 3
Top Usage:

Effect:
A card is freely selected; the spectator signs their name on the face of the card, and the
magician signs his/her name on the back. A few pieces of paper are introduced and one is
freely selected by the spectator. After the paper is selected, the freely chosen card is
visually ripped into four pieces and wrapped up inside of the chosen piece of paper. The
paper is folded with the chosen card within it, lit and in the blink of an eye, the paper
along with the shredded up card has vanished. The magician shows his hands empty and
his sleeves rolled up. The magician draws attention to his pocket, and slowly and fairly
reaches in to grab none other than the spectator’s freely chosen card!!!

Preparation:
Follow up with the Standard Prep, but there is one exception. Instead of placing the set
up card on the bottom of the deck, you will place it on top of the deck.

Method:
Holding the deck in the left hand FACE UP, fan through it and have any card selected.
Square the pack up and place the deck on the table, again, face up, and sign your name on
the back of the card. Hand the selected card and the marker to the spectator and have
them sign the face of the card. While they are doing this pick up the deck with the back of
the cards facing you. When they get done signing the card place it on top of the deck. You
can now tilt the deck back to normal position in the left hand. You will now follow up
with the same procedures of the routine.
Alternate Handling Number 4
Usage of Any Deck:

Effect:
A card is freely selected from a borrowed deck, and the spectator signs their name on the
face of the card. A piece of paper are introduced and examined by the spectator. After the
paper is selected, the freely chosen card is visually ripped into four pieces and wrapped up
inside of the piece of paper, lit and in the blink of an eye, the paper along with the
shredded up card has vanished. The magician shows his hands empty and his sleeves rolled
up. The magician draws attention to his pocket, and slowly and fairly reaches in to grab
none other than the spectator’s freely chosen card!!!

Preparation:
Have a Sharpie Marker if possible, and a piece of flash paper.

Method:
Borrow a deck of cards or use yours. If you use yours hand it out for examination. Have a
card freely selected. Allow the spectator to sign their name on the face of the card. Get the
card back from them and place it on top of the deck. Have them examine the piece of flash
paper. While they are doing this follow up with the same procedures as described above.

This method is almost impromptu. It is good to do when you are in possession of flash
paper. The marker can be borrowed also. If a marker is not handy, just simply let them
examine the deck until they believe there is no duplicate; not really much sense in doing
that though if it is their deck. 

This one is very easy considering you do not have to sign your name on a duplicate card
or on the selected card, and the only set up is having a piece of flash paper!
Alternate Handling Number 5
The Spectator's Deal:

Effect:
You hand a full deck to a spectator and ask the spectator to deal down and stop on
whichever card they wish. After they stop on the card of their choice the magician takes
the deck and hands the spectator a marker. The spectator signs the card on the face. After
the spectator has signed the card, the magician then signs his/her name on the back of the
card. A few pieces of paper are introduced and one is freely selected by the spectator. The
freely chosen card is now visually ripped into four pieces and wrapped up inside of the
chosen piece of paper, lit and in the blink of an eye, the paper along with the shredded up
card has vanished. The magician shows his hands empty and his sleeves rolled up. The
magician draws attention to his pocket, and slowly and fairly reaches in to grab none other
than the spectator’s freely chosen card!!!

Preparation:
Use the Standard Prep.

Method:
Give the deck to a spectator FACE DOWN. Have them deal the cards onto the table and
allow them to stop at ANY point. Let them take the card they stopped at. Take the dealt
off cards and replace them on top of the pack. Take the deck back and immediately slip
the bottom card to the top. Tilt the deck back so their backs are facing you. After they
have signed the card, place the deck on the table FACE UP. This is to prevent the
exposure of the set up card. You will now sign your name on the back of the card. Pick up
the deck with the backs still facing you, and place their card on top. You may now tilt the
deck back to normal position.
You will now follow up with any of the explained methods you wish.
Alternate Handling 6
Exact Duplicate:

Effect:
A card is selected; the spectator signs their name on the face of the card, and the magician
signs his/her name on the back. A few pieces of paper are introduced and one is freely
selected by the spectator. After the paper is selected, the freely chosen card is visually
ripped into four pieces, which are then fairly displayed by the magician front and back to
be the real selection. The paper is folded with the chosen card within it, lit and in the blink
of an eye, the paper along with the shredded up card has vanished. The magician shows
his hands empty and his sleeves rolled up. The magician draws attention to his pocket, and
slowly and fairly reaches in to grab none other than the spectator’s freely chosen card!!!

Preparation:
This method will require a force card and an exact duplicate. For now, we will use the Ace
of Hearts. Take one of the duplicates and sign your name on the back of the card. With
the face of the card, you will scribble on it. Not too much though, or later in the routine, it
will be obvious. Place this set up card on the bottom of the deck, and take the Ace of
Hearts that is not set up on top of the deck. As for the flash paper, you will use the same
set up: either the envelope, or placing the pieces on the table.

Method:
You will now force the Ace of Hearts on top of the deck by means of your favorite force;
just make sure the force you do does not alter the bottom card. You could cut the deck,
maintain a pinky break, and simply do a Classic Force, Hindu Force, or my personal
recommendation, the Riffle Force. The idea here is that the set up card gets back to the
bottom of the deck.

Sign the card first on the back after the force, and then allow the spectator to sign it on the
back. Tell them to sign it rather large though. (You will see why in a few minutes.) While
they are signing it, slip the duplicate to the top, and necktie the deck. Grab the card back,
and place it on top. You can now tilt the deck back to normal position. Follow up with the
same procedures as described earlier until you are ready to wrap the torn pieces in the
flash paper. When you have ripped the pieces, you can display both sides of the pieces,
making this very deceptive. They will think this is their actual card! You can now follow
up with the routine as before.

This is not the most practical version of the effect, but it is very deceptive to the spectator,
and is VERY bold.
Alternate Handling 7
Using a Gaff:

Effect:
A card is freely selected; the spectator signs their name on the face of the card, and the
magician signs his/her name on the back. A few pieces of paper are introduced and one is
freely selected by the spectator. After the paper is selected, the freely chosen card is
visually ripped into four pieces and wrapped up inside of the chosen piece of paper. The
paper is folded with the chosen card within it, lit and in the blink of an eye, the paper
along with the shredded up card has vanished. The magician shows his hands empty and
his sleeves rolled up. The magician ribbon-spreads the deck, and to the spectator’s
amazement, the selection is now in the middle of the pack!!!

Preparation:
In this preparation, you will still need the duplicate card with your signature on it, and try
to be set with at least 3 pieces of flash paper. Now, the gaff you will be using here is a
double backed card. Stay with me on this… Take the set up card, and place it FACE UP
on top of the deck, and place the double backed card on top. The way it should be set up
from top to bottom is: double backed card on top, and the set up card below it face up.
The Envelope Usage is optional. You can now perform.

Method:
Fan through the deck FACE UP, and have any card selected. Sign your name on the back
first, and then allow them to sign the card. While they are signing the card, you will get a
break under the top two cards of the deck. (The set up card, and the double backer.)
Grab their card and place it face up on top of the deck; you now have a three-card break.
Explain how you could not have duplicated this, and show their signature on the face, flip
over ALL three cards. This brings the set up duplicate to the top, and the double backed
card now covers the selection. You are now displaying the back of the set up card. Take
this card off of the top of the deck, and place it on the table in front of you, pick up the
deck, and hand it to a spectator. Hand the top stock only to the spectator; pick up the
bottom stock now, and place it on top of the top stock. The card is now in the middle of
the pack. That move seems innocent, considering the fact they will think picking up the
top stock only was accidental.

Follow up with the same procedures as described above. When you get to the part where
you reveal the card, simply spread the deck out until you reach a card with the signature
on the back.

This method is very slick, and very easy considering the fact you do not have to palm!
Alternate Handling 8
Spectators duplicate Signature:

Effect:
A card is selected; the spectator signs their name on the face of the card, and the magician
signs his/her name on the back. A few pieces of paper are introduced and one is freely
selected by the spectator. After the paper is selected, the freely chosen card is visually
ripped into four pieces, which are then fairly displayed by the magician front and back to
be the real selection. The paper is folded with the chosen card within it, lit and in the blink
of an eye, the paper along with the shredded up card has vanished. The magician shows
his hands empty and his sleeves rolled up. The magician draws attention to his pocket, and
slowly and fairly reaches in to grab none other than the spectator’s freely chosen card!!!

Preparation:
Preparation is the same as the previous Exact Duplicate Handling. Except this time, it will
be an actual exact duplicate with the spectator’s signature on it as well. Stay with me, this
is far simpler than you think. Sign your name on the back of one of the dupes. Place this
dupe second from the top, with the other dupe on top of it. You will also need two
Sharpie Marker’s.

Method:
At some point in a routine, not the Phoenix Rising routine, use a Riffle Force. Sign the
card first on the back as identical as the one below it. Turn over a double, showing one of
the two of hearts. The one you are showing is the one with your set up signature on the
back. Have them sign the face of the card. Explain to them, how you will do something
remarkably different with the card; perform an Erdnase Color Change. Show that the
signature has now vanished from the card. Have them sign the card again. Take the
second marker out now, and have them sign it. Instruct them to sign it as identically as
possible as before. Turn the double back over. What you now have is two cards with your
signature on the back, and two cards with your spectator’s signature on the face. Before
you get ready to go on into the Phoenix Rising routine, simply place one in your pocket,
introduce the flash paper, rip up one of the dupes, and steal it away. You can ditch the
torn pieces in any way you wish. This is a very good handling that I have used, and which
is also used in the demo video. The only thing left out from the demo is the Erdnase Color
Change, as it was not necessary considering the fact there was no spectator. This is not an
anytime, anywhere version, but at the right time, you have a killer.

For more information on the handling of getting a duplicate signature, be sure to check
out Card College Volume 5 by Roberto Giobbi. There is a similar handling in the
books. While you are at it, be sure to check out all the volumes, they are EXCELLENT!
Repeating Phoenix Rising:
After you have shown the card to reappear, this is for any of the handlings, simply
misdirect the spectator and slip the card that was just revealed to the bottom of the deck.
This is of course your set up for the next performance.  Pretty simple, huh?

Optional Ideas:
Here I am going to give you some optional ideas involving a certain part in the routine. I
am often asked a question about the finger palming of the card. “Why don’t you use the
Coin Fold Technique for the finger palming of the torn card?”
That is quite simple and it has a simple answer: it did not fit my style. When I perform an
effect, I want to feel as comfortable as humanly possible, now this is not saying that you
can not use the Coin Fold Technique; by all means I recommend it, but like I have said, it
just did not fit my style. I can assure you though the 8 other handlings I have given you
have been tested and audience approved. If you would like to learn the Coin Fold
Technique, I urge you all to read J.B. Bobo’s Modern Coin Magic. The technique is
taught in great detail in the book.

Also, while I am on the subject, I will tell you, all the moves used in this manuscript are
the moves I felt most comfortable using. Feel free to change anything around if you wish.
For example, the palming process. If you would rather use a standard Top Palm, feel free
to. This is all about you and how comfortable you are performing it. However, this is like
any magical effect; you should not do it more than one time.

Also, while I have your attention, I would like to go in depth about flash paper. Flash
paper is chemically treated to give it the spark of fire it creates when it is heated. If you
are wanting to get into the beautiful art of fire magic, I urge you all to keep safe, and
practice safe. Please keep in mind a very important point: Fire magic may be beautiful and
astonishing, but it can be very dangerous, and should not be taken lightly. Be serious with
the flash paper and any other pyrotechnic prop, and enjoy it. 
Presentation:
I will be giving you a similar presentation to the one I use. It is not the exact same, and
there will be some missing pieces; I will leave those for your own creativity. Have fun!
The presentation kind of goes into a historic explanation, but it has never failed me.

Approach your spectator, and have them select and sign the card; just like in the previous
methods. When you rip the card, the presentation REALLY comes into play, and this will
help with some misdirection when stealing the card out of the flash paper. All of the
following starts at the wrapping of the flash paper. The presentation is as follows:

“Do you know what a Phoenix was? No? Well, let me explain; a Phoenix was a bird that
died in the flash of fire, only to be reborn from the ash.” (This is where you would steal
the card, and light the flash paper on fire.)

“Well, the same can be said about a card in some ways. (This is after the vanish.)
Now, let’s recap a little. You selected and signed a card, as did I; I ripped your card into
four pieces, and wrapped them up in a piece of paper. I lit the paper, and it along with the
torn card vanished very suddenly, and dramatically. Could it be the card has been reborn
just like a Phoenix?” (Reach into your pocket, and pull out the selection.)

* As I have stated, this is not the same exact presentation I use, so feel free to improvise,
and use your own creativity. Remember, this is all about YOU and how comfortable you
are performing.
 Bonus Effect
Ripped and Flipped

Effect:
A card is freely selected; the spectator signs the face of the card; the card is then
VISUALLY ripped into four pieces and displayed fairly. The torn pieces are folded; the
magician allows the spectator to hold onto the deck of cards. The magician takes the
pieces and rubs them on the deck. After a few seconds the magician brings his/her hand up
from the deck, only they are empty! The magician tells the spectator to fan through the
deck; the spectator does so, and they are shocked to see their selected and signed card
FACE UP in the middle of the pack!!!

Preparation:
The beauty of this effect is obvious: It involves hardly any preparation. All you need to do
is take the top card of the deck, and simply turn it face up. You are ready to go.

Method:
Have a card selected from a face up spread, and have the spectator sign the face of it.
Take the card back, with the face of it facing you, and perform a simple Top Change
while pattering. To perform a Top Change is simple enough. All you are basically doing
is switching the card on the deck with the card in your hand. So now, you should have the
card that was face up on the pack, and now face up on the deck, should be the signed
selection. Simply necktie the deck, and cut it. This will seem innocent enough, and the
trick is now set up for the big finish. Take the deck and place it to one side; take the card
now in your hand, and rip it into four pieces. Display the pieces; just do not display the
back, as the trick will be exposed then. After the pieces are ripped, hold them in the right
hand, and perform any false transfer. This should give the illusion you are now holding the
torn pieces in a fist in the left hand. Instruct the spectator to pick up the deck immediately
after the false transfer has occurred. Place your left hand on the deck, as if you are
squeezing the pieces; at this time, you will ditch the torn pieces in your right pants pocket.
There is perfect misdirection happening, so do not make a move out of it, just do it. After
they are ditched, remove your hand, and show both of them empty. Allow the spectator to
fan through the pack. They will be shocked to see their card, which was torn and
vanished, upside down in the pack.
Ending Words:
Phoenix Rising has been a work in progress for well over a year. I hope it shows how
hard I have worked on it, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Perform this
effect for people; I can assure you of one thing: You WILL get a reaction! Your main
goal in magic is to entertain, and Phoenix Rising does just that. You can’t beat a
combination of fire magic and card magic. The flash of fire will leave them
wondering, but the appearance will leave them shocked. This may take some practice
but ALL magic does. Use this effect, entertain with it, and love it as I have.

Keep it real,

James Watkins
