Video
Tommy performs and then explains in detail the following effects:
Thanks to Paul Harris – Tommy’s handling of the classic Paul Harris single torn and restored card in which the fourth piece appears to restore as well!
Lighter to Matchbox – One of the most visual table-hopping intro tricks. A Bic lighter instantly changes to a box of matches!
The Shrinking Box – Two versions of the shrinking card case. Very practical construction, easy to use.
Ambitious Card Routine – A clean and effective version leading to Card to Box, in which the signed card ends up folded inside a miniature hinged box on the table.
2-Second Card Fold – A detailed exposé of Tommy’s lightning quick three-way card fold.
Squeeze – the brilliant illusion of a full deck being visibly squeezed into a tiny card box.
Deck Switch – Psychologically strong and easy to do.
Tommy also provides advice on performing close-up magic. He shares his thoughts on timing, misdirection,presentation and a whole host of other aspects of the magical art – truly fascinating!
Running Time Approximately 55min.
Date: publication 2009 – broadcast: 1991
