I’m not a tech guy. I don’t participate in the narcissism-generator known as social media. I hate myself for owning a cell phone. So, at the creaking and cranky age of 61, I’m amazed to announce that I have somehow successfully built and launched http://www.tomframe.com
It’s a trippy online store where discerning clientele will swoon over my massive inventory of seven, count ‘em, seven products! The site also has a bibliography page and a biography page where I share lurid details and incriminating photographs of my life.
It’s also the only place on Earth where you can purchase The Hypercard Project and decks of gaffs for my “Son of Hyper-Warp.”
Please peruse my petit emporium and impulsively spend an enormous amount of money. Or at least drop me a line and let me know what you think of the joint.
Thanks,
Tom

Re: tomframe.com
Tom, a very striking and aesthetically pleasing site! I enjoyed reading your fascinating biography and part of your interview, your insights, and the various factors that motivated you towards psychology. I will circle back and finish reading the rest of the interview soon. Yes, a deck of cards most certainly is almost sacred, and you are so lucky to live in the great San Francisco, where I spent many happy years!

Re: tomframe.com
Thanks Alfred!
To my horror, I discovered that the site looked awful on a mobile phone. Text was out of whack, photos in the wrong place, etc.
There is a separate editor for the mobile viewing. I fooled around with it and now the mobile view is much more pleasing to the eye.

Re: tomframe.com
Guys,
In addition to my shockingly small inventory of new magic, I’ve decided to sell some of my used magic products. There is one of each item.
While the ever-changing inventory will primarily consist of books, you never know what may be offered, or how long it will be available. So, visit the store often to see what appears before it disappears.
Thanks,
Tom

Technically, I've got a mint copy with gaffs for sale, but when that's gone, sure

Re: tomframe.com
Ian,
Invest in your financial future. Don't sell it. Sit on it until I shuffle off this mortal card coil. When I eventually fall into the "dirt sleep," the book's asking price will skyrocket from $25.00 to nearly $30.00! Patience pays.
Meanwhile, I've added copies of Marked for Life and Close-Up Cavalcade Finale to the inventory and reduced the prices of a few used products. It's now the one-stop-shop for $10.00 used DVDs.
Thanks,
Tom

Re: tomframe.com
Katterfelt0,
The price that Ian attaches to his copy is irrelevant, though intriguing. I sell The Hypercard Project with gaffs for its original 2006 price of $25.00. If you, or anyone pays more, they're paying too much.

Re: tomframe.com
I've not sent my list out yet, so you're much better getting it from Tom. Also, you won't pay international postage
I was being facetious about Tom's statement in jest, not hawking my book at his expense. It is seemed that way, I apologise...

Re: tomframe.com
A question about transparent cards: All the ones I have seen have the indices on the wrong side. If you were actually seeing the card from the back, the indices would be seen in the upper right and lower left corners, not upper left and lower right. This wasn't an issue in Hofzinser's day, as his cards didn't have indices. Probably this is not something that a layman would notice or care about, but I wonder if anyone makes them that way?

Re: tomframe.com
Hi Richard,
One can print a reversed image of a card on either the rear of the back surface or on the dry mount tissue . This results in the indices appearing correctly through the back.
I may play around with the procedure. But nary a laymen has mentioned the indices.
