What is the best way to remove old ceramic tile that you would like to reuse. Prying and praying does not seem to work that well.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if tile is installed properly, it isn't meant to come back off in one piece. There is no way to consistently remove ceramic tile without breaking a bunch. I suppose praying doesn't hurt though.
Good luck,
Garrison

Hammer and chisel and 1000 pieces.
