Thanks to David and the Genii Forum and of course Richard, for the opportunity to show all about the Blink Shift. A website has been created for me by two brother magicians. It has been a labor of love. You can go to the site now and see Some of my original magic. The site will be updated later with...

Thank you Bob. I am pleased that you liked it.

There is so much more that I have to get on tape and dvd.

I just found my notes on the 4 ace cutting routine that uses my table shift to locate them.

Originally posted by David Acer: I'd like to add that, when Tom performs this shift, it really does look invisible (if something can "look" invisible...), unlike many shifts wherein the spectator must literally blink during the execution to avoid seeing a flash. I do not remember if I tol...

That is correct David.

I am going into more detail on an upcoming dvd on it and how to use it as a table shift.

Also 3-way cuts with it, etc.

Thanks David for trying to do the impossible and doing a great job of it!

Hello all, I have been getting numerous emails (123 so far) requesting a video demo and help in learning my shift. The following information will aid you in learning the move. David did an excellent job in trying to explain this move on paper. Having said that, there is a serious error that needs to...

On December 15, 1985, we opened the close-up room that my boss then, Wolf Ruvinskii had built for me to perform in. I had a temperature of 102 along with the flu. The "show must go on" and I did my opening performance in front of the cameras and all. Looking back at it, I don't think that ...

That is a lot of money for these books.

I have the set of three and would part with them for $200.00 plus shipping.

I have to admit that it really is better to log in to our beloved magic websites with our Correct name. I regret that when I created my account, I used the name "mago" instead of my real name. I did this because I had worked for many years of my life in Mexico and Cuba. Mago means magician...

No Steve,

It is called lack of a sense of humor.

Hi Brian,

You really need a three part routine.

A fantastic opener, a middle segment and a strong finale.

Dress well, study your magic well, believe in yourself and go forth and amaze!

If you want to see another instant change, please check out "The New Tops", page 37, dated 7/75. We called it "What Happened". It was named that because of a few comments that I had heard when doing. The move will also give you an instant reversal of a card. The move is so fast t...

Thank you Dan for sharing this wonderful movie with us all!

I had a large laugh, in fact, more than one.

Hi Jan,

In the Many times that I have performed the linking card effect, I have never had anyone tell me that they where not linked.

Do your presentation well and they will love the effect almost as much as I do. Lol.

All I have ever had with me on my performances, was deck of cards, coins and close-up pad.

I never needed anything else..

Hi Tom,

What wonderful memories that you now have. Some good and some sad.

I deeply regret that I did not spend more time with you and Larry Pringle.

Time goes by so very quickly.

Take care, good friend.

The book would be a wonderful addition to the video as it contains a Lot of items that where not in the tape.

Go forth and amaze.

Some years ago, I was in Mexico City with a friend of mine at Wolf's Ruvinskii's supper club. I was considering returning to work there. Wolf came over to our table and sat down to inquire if I would return to work for him. I did a few magic routines that he had not seen before and finished with Pau...

What is so wonderful, is that in his home he does not need any ash treys.

I cannot say what others in the Unite States will do in this regard in the coming years. I can state from my many years at the Rincon Gaucho Supper Club in Mexico City, that people love it and Usually believe in it. My ex-boss Wolf Ruvinskii, used a Very old system that he had taught his assistant f...

Hi all,

This reminds me of a letter that I received from Eddie Marlo in response to one that I had written to him. I mentioned to him years ago, that he should see the new second deal that I came up with. His reply was "I would love to not be able to see it". Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Best to you all. Tom Wolf

Yes, you can.

In fact, you can change the apple to a naked woman.

Hola Ricardo,

This book has 247 pages of wonderful magic and would make a great addition to your works by Edward Marlo.

You could entertain for many years with it's contents.

Buena suarte,

Fortunately, the vast majority of people have never seen nor heard of a "matrix".

They just sit back and enjoy what we say that we are tired of.

May I say tens of thousands have never seen one?

Rage, you just caused me to search through my magic books to find the bottom palm that I have used for years for a single card and or numerous cards.

I found the source. "Card Cavalcade Finale on page 47 by Roger Klause.

Go forth and palm.

John,

I have to agree with you on "Out of this universe".

The strongest part of the routine is that the deck is shuffled numerous times without any tricky moves and every thing looks legit.

Wonderful demo of "real esp". lol.

Hi Kid,

We do not have release date as yet because their has to be a lot of filming done on Mickey's part and on mine.

We both want this to be the very best.

As for "pre-orders", you will have to ask Mickey that question as it is his dvd. I am only a guest on it.

Best to you.

Hi all, It gives me great pleasure to announce that on Mickey Silver's upcoming dvd, there will be a bonus item. That item will be my "One hand invisible pass". It will be explained in detail for ease in learning. I shall be teaching it so that you can use either hand. By that I mean you w...

Thank you Jon for the update.

There is a simple technique that Eddie Marlo taught me years ago. Because all decks are not the same, remove the aces from a Different deck and switch them from the new deck that you are now using. If you use my one handed shift done on the table,instead of in the air, you can Feel the different ace...

Hi Jamie, Yes there will be a video coming with all my magic, hopefully soon. I just wanted to let everyone know a little bit of what will be made. That is why I mentioned that Jon Racherbaumer, Bill Malone and Mickey Silver have me doing the above sleights and other original. Best to you. Tom Wolf

Not true! Please let me clarify that... You see the cards As they are being Dealt. He gives two variations and you Are able to see the cards as they are Being Dealt. I have been doing this move for over 50 years. He gave us a great sleight here and really is one in which the move "is worth the ...

One bid of advise on learning the "rocking chair" as Lorayne calls it, you need good eyes.

Fellow Magi, I have another one of my card creations that you might want to check out. It is an instant card change done with one hand. Entire deck is held in hand with the desired card to be changed. A waving motion is made and the card instantly changes to selected card, etc. The move can be used ...
