TNT by Roddy McGhie

Tear the impossible. Restore it wrong. Hand it out.

This is torn and restored card magic through the lens of Roddy McGhie—direct, visual, and designed to leave something unforgettable behind.

A single playing card is selected. You tear the center cleanly out. Then, in full view, the impossible happens: the center is restored—but turned the wrong way. The card is whole again, altered forever, and ready to be given away as proof.

TNT is a complete torn-and-restored project featuring multiple handlings taught in detail by Roddy. The specially designed TNT gimmick integrates seamlessly into a normal deck and allows you to perform striking visual restorations with just a small amount of setup. You genuinely remove the center of the card, rotate it, and then restore it visibly—no rushed moments, no awkward cover.

The visuals are bold and motivated. You can heal the card with a simple touch, openly show both sides of the restored card, and let every action feel natural and justified. Included are 26 specially printed cards that display the reversed-center restoration, along with the custom gimmicks needed to add TNT to your existing deck.

This is the kind of magic that doesn’t reset expectations—it rewrites them.

Tear it.
Reverse it.
Restore it.
Give it away.
