"He likes magic, he likes good magic, and he likes sharing good magic." - Jeremiah Zuo

"Okay, "The Contest" by Tom and Ed Oschmann: Best. Party. Trick. Ever. Hands down, they've crafted the finest handling of the classic "Poker Players' Picnic" I've seen. What a great trick!" - John Bannon 

"Your notes are inspirational." - Ross Johnson

“I performed Tom's Oil and Water this week as a closer, it played beautifully. The procedure allows for a lot of flexibility in terms of how you routine other effects around OiATER. This routine is a keeper. Well done Tom.” - Mike Vincent

“Tom’s version of the poker deal (“Big Four Poker”)is the real deal, a superbly constructed routine.” -David Parr

“If you like Wild Card and you often find yourself working in a walk around situation, then this routine is for you. The routine is extremely visual, has no apparent discrepancies, and no awkward moves. I really like this handling and have added the routine to my repertoire.” - Allan Ackerman

The Contest: Poker Players Picnic REDUX by Ed Oschmann/Tom Dobrowolski





Hana Ho Card by Curtis Kam – With a pedigree that includes Michael Weber and Curtis Kam, Tom has honed this trick into a masterpiece. "Hana Ho" means "Do it Again!" in Hawaiian. And Hawaii magician Curtis Kam uses this simplified moving hole effect to answer that call. It's a quick encore to any effect using a signed card that transforms that card into something just a little more special for the lucky person who gets to keep it.





Naked Deck Opener/Wait? What?? by Trent Ketchmark/Tom Dobrowolski – The perfect opener to a card or close up set. A blank deck becomes instantly printed with faces and backs. Very fun, simple, visual magic and a variation where a card is selected, the deck turns blank, faces and backs reappear, and the card is found! At the end you can hand out the deck!





Neither Short-Sighted nor Mad by John Carey – John's great take on Tamariz’ classic “Neither Blind nor Silly”. This one, like so much of John’s brilliant material, is SO much fun to perform!





Away We Go by Tom Dobrowolski – A no-fuss and direct handling for a selected “cards across.”





Jim Ryan's Last Trick by Tom Dobrowolski/Jim Ryan – From Tom's first lecture, this is an absolutely GREAT opener based on two of Jim Ryan's classics, The Portal.





Increasing the Odds by Patrick Flanagan – One simple, strong, entertaining demonstration in “cheating at cards” that you can use to lead into another routine or as a stand alone effect.





Misdirection:The Way of The Monkey by David Kuraya – David sent me a clip of this strange and wonderful effect and I HAD to have it for the notes!





Something Borrowed, Something New by Jack Carpenter – You’ll be doing some amazing visual magic with very little effort an
