Tommy Wonder's Visions of Wonder (3 DVD Set) You will see how an audience can be devastated and deeply touched by a magic performance and you’ll be inspired to bring your magic to a whole new level. Highly Recommended!!!
Out of stock.
Tommy Wonder is a living legend in magic. The routines, philosophy, creative process, and thinking detailed on “Visions of Wonder” are why he is hailed by his peers as one of the top performers and thinkers in magic and why many consider him one of the most important magicians of our time.

this is for the magician that is looking of some magic "Entertainment" it does teach you the tricks,
but im guessing the majority of you wont use it as it is extremely impractical.

Tommy Wonder is a perfect example of a magiacian who does whatever it takes to get the effect done,
and doen't have to rely on the things available in a magic shop. If he had to build it himself, then
he did. If he was wearing an unconfortable gimmick, then so be it. It was part of his profession,
putting the audience first. His control of an audience is well worth the money for these dvd's. He
could have died without sharing his secrets, but he left them for us to learn from. Old school
magician, fer sure. He was the very definition of the word "dedicated". I miss his

Mr. Wonder is the last of a vanishing breed of magician whose craftsmanship and dedication to his
art is evident in every single aspect of his work. Leaving nothing to chance, Mr. Wonder breaks
every effect down to the most basic level, then reconstructs and polishes each effect to
perfection.
Most of these effects require some serious machinist/construction skills but the effects themselves are far from the true value of these DVD's. The priceless education on the performance and art of magic is what makes Tommy Wonder, this DVD and of course the "Books of Wonder" an absolute necessity for all magicians. Recommended for intermediate to advanced magicians, neophytes and those new to the art will most likely fail to see the treasures captured here on film. The only drawback, I would have loved to see some performance footage of Mr. Wonders elegant Zombie routine in addition to his tips. The short glimpse of his work with the zombie only hinted at it's beauty in his hands. Did this review help you?
Not Practical?.....Yeah Right.

I'm just going to open up by saying that this is the best DVD series that money can buy. I've been
doing magic for 15 years and I was just amazed at the amount of useful information that this set
contained. It is true that there are a few tricks/illusions in here (ex. Nest of Boxes) that you
more than likely will never build.
However, to say that these DVDs are not practical means that we are either hearing this from beginners or magicians that are intimidated by a little theory. So you won't use Nest of Boxes but on the same DVD you have one of the best Ambitious Card routines in magic that contains maybe the best finale ever. There's nothing that says you have to do a full routine that is taught on a DVD. If you can learn some good sleight-of-hand/individual effects and some of the fantastic psychology given, you will more than likely agree that you've gotten your money's worth. I doubt many of us use everything that we see when we go to a lecture. Did this review help you?

Tommy Wonder is a GIANT in magic. One of the greatest. I am at a complete loss as to why he would
agree to do these DVD's. The information is of use to the average magi. Great performances. Some
great advice, but why take up 3 DVD's? $$$$$$ thats why. Sorry to say it but the guys and girls at
L&L missed on this one. Thank God they don't do it very often. Hey we all make mistakes. It just
happens that the great folks at L&L missed the mark on these DVD's. Just my honest opinion. I could
be wrong, but I doubt it.

Amazing 2 Cups and Balls routine, misdirection artist. The gimmick revealed is like James Bond
movie. I like his misdirection (Did you lay the egg!). Highly Recommended.

I can honestly tell you that Tommy Wonder is one of the most amazing performers of our time. I have
seen him in person, and when I performed his Ring, Watch, and Wallet trick five feet from my face, I
honestly almost passed out in amazement. Although these DVD's are packed with wisdom and some
amazing effects, it is just not practical for your average magician. Don't get me wrong, "some" of
the tricks are very good and would be excellent to perform. I would love to do the Ring, Watch
trick myself, but the specifics on the set-up just make your mind hurt! How does Tommy think up
these things? He is way out there and on a whole different level than most. His Nest of Boxes
Routine in unbelievable, but just watching the explanation and props required makes you wonder what
was going through his head when he thought this up. I'm glad magic has Tommy Wonder, but with his
ideas, it makes me "wonder", why isn't this guy working for the Holland government cracking codes or
building high tech electronic equipment? You would have to buy some of this stuff from magic store,
assuming it will ever be out on the market. I give it 3 stars based mostly on Tommy's insight into
magical theory.
