I have one.
100% impromptu; requires no setup. You can flash the corners several times. It can be signed.

i perform Reincardnation..even though (as stated above) you cannot repair the last peice...theres ways around it, and i still get huge reactions, its a good one
Jay Sankey has a torn and restored effect which relies on a simple colour change to affect the restoration. I tweaked this and added a subtlety i felt was missing from the visual aspect of the original and now it's quite the nice little attention grabber!

The fact that you need to carry 'what-you-need-to-do-torn' around with you would indicate that it's not an impromptu thing. Sure you could do the prep on the fly, but again, prep takes it from 'impropmtu' to 'seemingly impromptu'. I am a huge fan of both sub-categories, and have wrote on the subject, so this opinion isn't an impulse thing, it's my overall thoughts on the subject.

Personally, I prefer REF4M to reinCARDnation, since even in maker's performance, I find the latter to be kind of obvious to spectators. I have had audience members, even young ones, figure it out, simply because the moves involve covering the cards at a time that draws attention to what's actually going on. REF4M also involves a tear up at the end, and the tearing process is a bit weird, but it's much cleaner, and there's no obvious moves.
Ben Harris's Hoodwink! is one of my favourite impromptu T&R effects. I believe he also has a refined version in his eBook Quarks and Quirks.
I saw this on the blue crown, and I'm pretty sure it's impromptu, since it states that you can use a borrowed deck. Also, today on the blue crown, they have a cyber monday sale, so you can get it for under 10 bucks. http://thebluecrown.com/magic-tricks/fourfit.html

It's pretty bad... it requires a setup, though no need for dupes, it's very angly and the card can't be handed out without a switch... I defiantly prefer torn.
Sorry, I didn't know. I haven't purchased the effect, I just saw it and thought it might be helpful to the OP since it states that you can use a borrowed deck, I thought it would have been impromptu. Good to know for the future though that it isn't, thanks.
Here's an impromptu Torn and Restored that requires no double, no dupes, no two-sided tape. Just a random deck and the ability to do a good double lift (multiple times). I would like to know who the original artist is, but Jay didn't cite one, nor brag that he "invented" the trick like he always suggests. Any clue?

It's a highly visual and organic effect! Very easy to learn and make the gimmick. You can purchase here http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/5079
