TREX by Ran Pink

“I really do like T-REX and have used it regularly over the last year. It is indeed excellent and extremely utilitarian. It is one of the smoothest and most efficient tears I’ve seen.” – Bob Cassidy

“T-REX is quite simply perfect. I’m now convinced a center tear can be fast and invisible whilst allowing you to see roughly 75% of the billet after just one tear. Please read that sentence again. This is the way we’ll all be doing center tears as of 2013. Fact!” – Jerome Finley

“Finding the way to the center has yielded many solutions, but only a few feel as natural and as smooth as Ran Pink’s T-REX.” – Colin McLeod

“I saw Ran perform T-REX and I was amazed. Then he taught me the moves and I was even more astounded! So easy, practical, and very smart. This is by far the best Center Tear I have ever seen. I’m definitely going to use it!” – Haim Goldenberg

Create the illusion of genuine mind reading in a direct, personal, and impactful manner, using just a pen and a piece of paper. This classic technique is simple yet powerful enough to evoke strong emotions. In 2010, Ran began exploring a method that would allow him to access information more quickly than any previous technique. He aimed to tear the paper in a way that made it seem unnecessary, while still being able to retrieve the information instantly without needing to steal pieces or turn away for a peek.

Ran sought to move away from the intricate, methodical tearing and instead focus on a bold approach that would enable him to gather information after the first tear, if desired. The result was T-REX:

• Never look at your hands while tearing the paper
• No fumbling with multiple pieces
• Easy to navigate by touch alone

This innovation transformed Ran Pink’s approach to the Center Tear.
