Nick Diffatte Sub Genius Center Tear

"Elegant, practical, and ingenious. The cleanest, most bulletproof solution to the 'Center Tear' problem." - Teller "It's rare to find something truly new in the world of billets that's worth your time and attention - but this is one of those rare exceptions. Nick has developed a method of tearing and manipulating the billet that is completely natural, utterly deceptive, and allows for an invisible peek unlike anything I've seen. Even when he explained the workings, I wasn't prepared for how seamlessly the information sprung into view. Only a mind like Nick's could have created something this devious." - Colin McLeod "This is the first real Center Tear innovation in decades, with an innovative feature no other Center Tear has." - John Lovick Nick Diffatte's Sub-Genius Center Tear is the first step forward in methodology for the real-time center tear in years. Nick has created a center tear with a normal index card that reveals a huge peek area to the performer while the pieces look small. Best of all, the unfolding action and peek both happen under a natural, in-transit action. Highlights of this billet peek: Can be done with dry hands A new geometry of billet tearing is used, which makes all the pieces look small (and your hands look empty) right before and after the peek The performer sees the center of the billet - no writing in a corner or on the edge At the moment of the peek, the spectator believes that they can see all the pieces of the billet Uses an ungimmicked index card Allows for a delayed peek. No need to read as the billet is being torn.
