I’m sure I’m not the first person to think of this idea. The idea is using the Starcle paper tear where you put a single tear into a folded up piece of paper and you get a circle and a star. My idea is to use a deck of ESP cards and force the circle and star and use the paper tear as the reveal.
OK, I just did a quick Google search and it appears that Eric Mead and Doc Eason published that trick 10 months after Harlan published Starcle, so the idea was pretty much immediately thought of!
I’m using the Starcle paper tear in my library show and the idea is to get a little bit more time out of the routine. I have a jumbo ESP deck kicking around the house, so I’m going to go for that prop. I’m not sure what the premise will be for it as right now the routine is a story about someone that I know. It’ll have to change, but not exactly sure how I’ll frame it.
