How To Do a Center Tear (Mentalism Sleight)

In the act of tearing a piece of paper, the center tear is a method of obtaining information.

Step 1: If you fold a piece of paper in half, it will be in quarters.

Step 2: If you want the spectator to draw a name or object, put a box in the middle of the paper.

Have them write.They should fold the sheet where you folded it.

Step 3: Some of the edges are open and some are folded.

Depending on how you are looking and holding the slip of paper, there should be a folded area on the top edge and the right edge.

Step 4: If you tear the paper in half, you have two strips.

There is a strip on the right with spectators writing on it.With the folded part of that piece, tear it in half, in the opposite direction of the other one.

Step 5: You now have two small pieces of paper.

Under the cover of your fingers, slip the one on the left into your palm.The center is now yours.

Step 6: Throw the pieces with the exception of the one that was palmed on the table.

Step 7: To see the middle, you have to get a lighter from underneath the table and unfold and read the finger palmed slip.

Step 8: Leave the center and burn the other torn pieces when you come up.

Step 9: They will throw money at you if you reveal the word.
