GAME OF TOM

2015 Lecture Notes

Discover my latest lecture notes for 2015, packed with exciting and practical magic tricks from myself and my talented friends!

“Something Borrowed Something New” by Jack Carpenter Experience stunning visual magic with minimal effort using a freely chosen card. You’ll be amazed!

“Misdirection: The Way of The Monkey” by David Kuraya David shared this intriguing effect with me, and I couldn’t resist including it! As he puts it, “This is perhaps the strangest thing I have been playing with recently. It’s a work in progress, but at Tom’s request, I am happy to share it.” You’ll be glad he did!

“Trent’s Ribbon” by Trent James A catchy name for a quick and visual stand-up routine involving a ribbon. It fooled me, and it will certainly amaze you too!

“Increasing the Odds” by Patrick Flanagan A straightforward yet entertaining demonstration of “cheating at cards” that serves as a perfect lead-in to another routine or stands alone beautifully.

“Whitewall” by Jeff Prace A simple yet brilliant concept that transforms your iPhone or smartphone into a magical tool. It’s so easy that even I can perform it!

“Turkish Ice Cream Sandwich” by Curtis Kam Curtis describes this routine as a playful homage to the viral Turkish ice cream salesman. It features a three-phase routine that keeps your audience guessing, reminiscent of the clever tricks found in R. Paul Wilson’s work.

“Tom’s Poker” by Tom Dobrowolski A four-card poker game I designed to potentially revolutionize casino gaming! Four players, four cards, and four rules equal endless fun!

“2 Card Flip” by Joe Cole Two selected cards are discovered in two different ways, twice! This routine is twice the fun!

“What You ‘Wynnn’ in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” by Tom Dobrowolski With just three coins, I hit the jackpot and then quickly bust out. You’ll learn simple moves that will make you look like you have Curtis Kam’s “Palms of Steel.”

“Easy As One, Two, Three” by John Carey An excerpt from John’s fantastic book “Crafted with Carey,” combining the classic inversion plot with Paul Cummins’ brilliant “Flasher” premise. If you haven’t yet, be sure to grab John’s book!

“One To-Go Box Please!” by Jeremiah Zuo A clever visual pun for magic enthusiasts. Two selected cards: one found between two jokers that emerge from a box, and the other discovered inside a box that came from the jokers.
