(Based on 1 review)
EFFECT:
A card is selected, signed across its face, a quarter with part of the signature is torn away for the audience to keep.
With the remaining 3/4 card, you proceed to change the color on its back - ONE QUARTER at a time, this is done with PURE SLEIGHT OF HAND. It is so visual you swear it must be trick photography. At the end, you return the 3/4 card for inspection, the signature matches, the card matches, but 3/4 of the back is now in a DIFFERENT COLOR!!!
This trick is performed stand up at chest height, which facilitates higher visibility for larger crowd of audience
Ideal for both strolling and banquet shows
Everything is examinable resulting in a truly impossible looking souvenir. This is a perfect trick to impress your spectator, they will keep this mismatched piece of art for years to come.

8 Special Bicycle Stock Gaff Cards for CNR-COLOR FUSION & RESTORATION- Full training DVD that will guide you through every step of this effect, including multiple handlings, performance, handling tips and all the subtleties

...Nash Fung's Color Fusion looks so good that your audience might believe that you are a real magician. - Peter Duffie, Magic Magazine
Running Time Approximately: 53mins

I have some good news and bad news with this one. First the bad news:
The creator, performer, and teacher of this effect is constantly trying to be funny on this DVD. You can tell there are some inside jokes to him and his friends that they find funny, but as the viewer I was lost.
This is the second DVD I’ve had to sit through this last week that was loaded with bad jokes and dumb one liners. I‘m not saying these guys shouldn’t have fun, but make sure the viewer is able to catch on to the sense of fun as well.
The performances in the streets are kind of strange. His so called presentation about origami makes no sense, and actually points more to the method then the actual effect. He takes way to long to have the card selected, creased, and signed, before he goes into the magic.
So that’s the bad news. The good news is that the actual effect is a real fooler, and the method is borderline genius. As I was following along with cards in hand, I was wondering how someone could think of this. It’s the perfect TV trick, and looks just as good live in a real world situation. It’s got angle issues, for sure, but no worse than the standard torn and restored card. It’s fairly practical, a bit of a pain to set up the cards and gimmicks ahead of time, but the end result is worth it. The effect is not self working, but not a knuckle buster either.
The effect is a piece by piece color change of the back of a signed card. It looks similar to all the piece by piece restorations that are on the market now, the method is even similar, but I feel this is way more practical and has a fresher look and feel to it. The final image is an impossible object for the spectators to keep and show to their friends.
You need to come up with a better presentation than what is provided. However, I think this is one of those effects that talking hurts. I see the color changes being stronger in silence. I feel this is the reason why the effect is stronger in the demo video, because all the dead time and words are cut out.
The restored variation is ok. They’ve included some gaffed cards that allow you to restore the mis-colored piece. The regular version of the effect is just as strong, and has better, cleaner moments. You also don’t need to buy special cards for the original version.
If you are ok with sitting through the lame jokes and poor performances in order to learn this ingenious effect, then you won’t be disappointed. The effect is what you are paying for, and it really does look like magic. Three stars for new effect and new and smart method.
