Our goal at Vanishing Inc is not to push the newest trends or the latest releases. It’s to equip the dedicated magical student with the right tools. And if you’ve been in magic more than a week, you’ve heard the name Tommy Wonder. He is, perhaps, our generation’s greatest magician. He died a few years ago, way too soon, but with a legacy we can all be grateful for. And Visions of Wonder is the best way to sample this wonderful man’s magic. It is the best and most comprehensive footage of him that exists, and it should be considered essential viewing. It may not be a new release, but if you passed it by years ago, now is your chance to pick it up.

Tommy performs a variety of close-up, cabaret, and stage material, so you get a very good feel for his style and how it looks in many different genres of magic. You will most certainly learn some PHENOMENAL tricks on this set, but pay particular attention to Tommy’s performance style: he is commanding but passive, endearing but mysterious. There was only one Tommy Wonder.

The best parts of the DVD are the explanations, because Tommy takes the time to tell us how the HELL he thought of all the crazy inventions he performs and their evolution to near-perfection. Some of these explanations (especially the watch to sealed box) will make you LAUGH because they’re so clever.

Pay close attention “The Tamed Card,” perhaps the most commercial and beautiful wild card routine ever devised.

Watching these DVDs will undoubtedly make you a better magician. Tommy Wonder is the perfect role model in magic, whether you’re new to the art or a longtime student. Highest Recommendation. 

Also available individually as hard copy or downloads:

Larry
If you are into magic on any level you must study the work of Tommy Wonder here you get to see the legend himself.Some of the best close-up you will ever see.If he doesnt fool you,you are lying to yourself.
Benjamin
Clearly a must have. This still is in my top three magic DVDs of all time. And the great thing is, you pick up new nuances and subtleties every time you watch. My highest recommendation even if you don't do any of the material!
Michael
Tommy Wonder is truly amazing. These videos are a little dated, but his magic is timeless. There is no way to absorb everything here in one viewing. It is very interesting to watch his timing and the effect on the audience. Even after knowing the methods, his rhythm is so good that it is impossible not to get caught up in the magic. He is able to create suspension of disbelief without appearing to try. Simply wonderful. Fantastic video.
Jon
The King holds court with indispensable theory and a masterful displays of attention direction and clever techniques to inspire. A must-have companion to the Books of Wonder from one of the true wizards of our art.
Moritz
In my opinion this is the best DVD set on the market. Tommy Wonder is a true master of closeup magic. This is a must have for closeup magicians!
Michael
A real masterclass on everything from sleights to performance. Tommy's beautiful concepts alongside his manipulations demonstrate how excellent he was and provide lessons for all performers to still learn from today.
Also, the interviews with Max Maven make this bundle worth it on their own.
Robert
I believe this DVD belongs in every magicians library. Tommy Wonder not only presents and teaches some great effects but his philosophy on misdirection and the conversations he has with Max Maven about the technique of misdirection is worth the price of this DVD alone and his Cup and Ball routine is a masterclass. If you don't already own this DVD you owe it to yourself to buy it. Highly recommended DVD

This review is for Volume 1 of this set.

I recently obtained 'The Two-Cup Routine by Tommy Wonder' set (not from VI). The video of the tutorial is of poor, grainy and the sound quality is bad. So, I sought out better quality videos of Tommy Wonder's Two-Cup routine which lead me to VI.

I purchased Volume 1 primarily for the Two-Cup Routine by Tommy Wonder. However, it also has his R.W.W. performance and tutorial (Which I purchased from VI and which, by the way, is excellent). When I watched Tommy Wonder perform this routine, while a slightly different version of the Seidman's version, it was still amazing!

Although this review focus' on The Two-Cup Routine and R.W.W. the other effects are just as incredible. Tommy Wonder is an excellent teacher and you will not be disappointed with this download.

  • Jim asks: I love Tamed Card and have done it for years now! My cards are pretty shot though and I was wondering if I could purchase just the cards needed for the effect or at least just the gimmicked cards, which would match a regular Bicycle Deck

    • 1. Jim responds:You would have to put them together yourself. I believe that Card Shark offers them in Phoenix backs.
    • 2. Jim responds:Thanks!
