We are proud to overlook, for the first time in French, the publication of the two volumes of the magician Tommy Wonder: "The Books of Wonder", at Magic Dream editions!

Tommy Wonder is undoubtedly the most respected magician in the world these days, widely recognized as a Master of the Close-Up and the Scene.

You will find in these books a whole series of towers, routines and tests. He also explains his Professional routines for close-up.

You will find chapters devoted to close-ups with cards or parts
 and a selection of Very original towers.

Other chapters will deal with close-ups with other objects than cards or parts and includes insightful comments concerning problems that we can meet during a show, as for example how to approach the tables, how to introduce yourself and your routine, you have to stay up or sit, how to evolve in a noisy environment ...

Volume 1 :

The first volume of the Books of Wonder opens with a chapter devoted to the master's degree (commonly known as "misdirection") in which the magician Tommy Wonder introduces completely original concepts based on his professional experience. Follow close-up effects with cards and parts, including a detailed description of its incredible version of the crazy card, as well as a selection of living room towers. The book ends with an essay entitled "The three pillars of magic" which could well change in depth how you design your magic and thanks to which you will take giant steps in the mastery of your art.

 

Volume 2:

This second volume of Books of Wonder Opens with close-up effects using other accessories than cards and parts, and trials concerning problems related to the practice of close-ups in general (environment, noise, stage fright, troublemakers, etc.), and that of Table-Hopping In particular (how to approach a table, how to introduce yourself, by what kind of turn to start, etc.). The second chapter explains by the menu the routine with two cups which made Tommy Wonder famous worldwide. The rest of the book is devoted to stage and living room routines with, among other things, the explanation of its extraordinary versions of three classics: "The eclipsed cage", "The zombie" and "the leg boxes".
