As you can see below, this is performed smoothly with the use of a duplicate card that is hidden discretely behind your right hand ( or left hand if you wish ). The kicker is when you execute a smooth slide to switch the torn card pieces with the folded whole duplicate card. Unfold this card and present to your audience who should be genuinely impressed by your magical skills. You can use this moment of distraction to slip the torn pieces of card into your pocket.
