That's Restored Credit.
Restored Credit is a broken-and-restored credit card routine. It was explained in Approaching Magic and it is now realized with beautiful custom-made props.
I perform this trick perhaps more than any other, as there are so many opportunities to bring out a credit card in everyday life. But even if you don't carry credit cards, you can do this trick!
You will love the gimmick, as it creates a beautiful illusion and the trick practically works itself.
Comes complete with custom-made gimmicked credit card, a matching un-gimmicked card, and an instructional DVD.

You saw the demo (I hope). It's really that clean. You break a credit card in half, and then very very visually restore it.
The short but thorough DVD covers the props, the presentation, and how to handle letting things be examined. Additionally you see some footage of it being performed for a few different lay-audiences.
The only complaint I have about this is that it feels like it was built for a left-handed person. You can do it Left-Handed or Right-Handed. However, if you do it Right-Handed, the credit has to be upside down the whole time . . . or you have to disassemble and reassemble your gimmick.
Looking at the gimmick, it may not be that hard to disassemble and reassemble it or even make another gimmick out of my own credit card.
If you're a lefty, your good. If not, you'll either have to learn to do this left handed or modify your gimmick (which is my own idea, not something that Regal mentions) or do the effect with the credit card upside-down.
I played around with it left-handed for a few minutes, and I think if I spent a few hours working on it I would likely get over the awkwardness of the handling.
As long as you know that going in, I have no problem highly recommending this.
Final Verdict: 4.5 Stars with a Stone Status of Gem.
