This is a collection of formal close-up magic–the kind of material you would astound with in the close-up gallery at the Magic Castle. “Monty Walks Again” is a clever transposition of coins and a borrowed ring. “Reality Glitch” is one of the cleverest sandwich effects we’ve ever encountered. And “Silver and Sorcery” is the Cylinder and Coins with the Tom Stone treatment.

• Reality Glitch – A surprising Sandwich effect.
• Monty Walks Again – A borrowed ring transpose with 4 coins.
• The Collective Blink – A Signed Card effect with a triple climax.
• Beme’s Corner (by Sixten Beme) – A torn off signed piece of a card changes color.
• Freedom Cuts – Finesse for The Free Cut Principle.
• The Stealth Reverse – Technique to secretly reverse a card in the deck.
• The Direct Steal (by Max Milton) – Technique to palm out a card from the deck.
• Kismet Poker (by Jonas Ljung) – A poker effect.
• Silver & Sorcery – A version of Cylinder and Coins
• Okito Osmosis – A quickie with an Okito Box
• Time to Dice (by Axel Adlercreutz) – An effect with dice.
• …Plus a few unfinished ideas.

“One of my magic heroes is Tommy Wonder, and I rarely invoke his name when describing other magicians’ work. But Tom Stone’s thinking is in this stratosphere of creative magic.”Matt Field
