At The Table Live Lecture: Tom Elderfield

Tom Elderfield is a pioneering magician who has harnessed the power of Instagram to showcase his innovative creations. With a reputation for crafting visually stunning and imaginative tricks using everyday items, Tom has collaborated with some of the most renowned TV magicians, traveled internationally, and released several successful products—all while still in his teens. In this exclusive lecture, Tom will unveil some of his most entertaining and visual gimmicks that have never been taught before, all delivered with his engaging and youthful performance style. Here’s what you can expect to learn:

• Listen Up: Borrowed headphones defy gravity, suspending in mid-air. A ring is placed around the headphones to demonstrate the absence of threads, and with a command, the headphones drop and can be immediately handed out.
• Crossed Coffee: A Starbucks cup marked with an X visually jumps between boxes.
• Color Changing Straw: An easy-to-make effect where a straw visually changes color all around, and it remains usable afterward.
• Self Wrapping Wrap: During the lecture, a wrap rolls itself up on command, ready to be eaten.
• Linking Cups: Borrow a mug and link it visually and impossibly with your own mug, then unlink them.
• Double Take: A spectator takes a photo of a predicted card. After they select a card, the photo magically changes to match their choice, ending cleanly.
• Squish Box: A box containing cards compresses to half its size for a moment before returning to normal, allowing the cards to be used.
• Tab Nation: A versatile card box utility featuring an ink change and a TNR effect, all while maintaining a clean opening tab.
• Mini Box Book Test: The magician crosses out a word from the back of a box, which matches the word the spectator thought of.
