MrMagi Regular user 114 Posts	Posted: Mar 7, 2006 04:39 pm 0 Hi Tom, thanks for sending on the clip. I think that this was a lovely move. The fact that its done before reaching the other hand is very deceiving as obviously this is when most shifts occur. Keep up the great work Tom, I look forward to more!

griff13 New user 61 Posts	Posted: Mar 7, 2006 05:53 pm 0 Just watched the vid Tom sent me on the Blink Shift. Outstanding! I will spend whatever time it takes to learn this move. Very deceiving. Thanks again Tom for sending the vid. I hope you release the cheater's moves you mentioned above. I have strong interest in card cheats and their methods.
JTW Special user Florida 670 Posts	Posted: Mar 8, 2006 03:37 am 0 Mr. Wolf I remember seeing this shift at The Carew Tower Magic Shop a few years ago. I remember you showing us a number of shifts that day and this one particularly stood out. I had described the essence of the move to a few people since and now feel a bit vindicated that I actually remembered what I saw! Thanks for a great tabled shift. Cheers JTW
bonedaddi Regular user 141 Posts	Posted: Mar 8, 2006 04:47 am 0 Dear Mr. Wolf, I just picked up the copy of Genii and I would love to see a demo of your wonderful pass. Could you please forward a copy at your earliest convenience? Kindly Bonedaddi
rawdawg Special user Southern California 686 Posts	Posted: Mar 8, 2006 07:11 am 0 The write up in Genii made me think that making the shift invisible was impossible. The video that Tom graciously sent me made me think again. Thinking out loud here, but I'm wondering if you could beat the leaf by offsetting it or holding it back during the action. Thank you Tom for releasing this move to the fraternity. One time, when I was young, I botched a sleight so bad, Vernon, Marlo & Miller rolled over in their graves. But I didn't see Elmsley, probably because he was behind the others.

Great thinking here! Yes you can. By just thinking a little bit, you can change the grip and it is not even obvious and can even be done On the table. More to come. Thank you Tom for releasing this move to the fraternity. It has been fun doing it in my old age. lol. Take care Rawdawg.

Clark Special user 957 Posts	Posted: Mar 10, 2006 08:41 pm 0 Thanks for sharing Tom, It's wonderful to see someone with so much talent in their hands, as well as an obvious deep knowledge of magic, that is so willing to share with us. Your work has a visual element that is refreshing while retaining what I would define as "old school knowledge." Obviously you have a keen insight as to making your magic strikingly visual without sacrificing the experience by being a "flourish king." There is nothing more exciting in magic (to me personally) than getting the opportunity to peek into the mind of magicians like yourself that have been around for years and that have gained your experience. Judging from the limited amount of work that I have had the privilege to have seen from you thus far, I have the same anxious anticipation that I did while awaiting the second Harry Riser book to surface. The type books that have so many years of careful thinking that you just can't put them down. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to concerning your work that you will be releasing. Looks like we may have just been lucky enough to have found one of magic's "hidden treasures" in you and your work. Here's to another name to add to the list of thinkers to look out for.

Best, Clark Hi Clark Many thanks for the nice comments. We shall be inproving on the website shortly. All videos have to be done over and I have others to add. I now have some one to do the filming that has experience and can film over my shoulder to make it easier to learn my sleights. Just keep on watching the site. There will be some pictures added the early part of next week.

edh Inner circle 4697 Posts	Posted: Mar 11, 2006 02:08 am 0 I visited Tom's website. He has some excellent effects there. I like his coins effect. The sandwich effect killed me. Great stuff. Magic is a vanishing art.

Those are excellent videos on the site... thoroughly enjoyed watching them all! I must apologize to all for the Old videos that are on the site. There will be new ones coming and they will replace the ones that are there. Hopefully next week they will be made and then we can start on the teaching of my sleights. There are some moves that will be talked about from the site for awhile. They are completely new ways to control small packets of cards. If you study the upcoming video demos, you will see what I am taking about. I also will be adding some that have a move or two from other magicians in a routine that adds my sleights. By this I mean, double turn over, etc. All the rest is original. I have received an abundance of messages and phone calls asking me when the project will be done. The answer is as so as possible. I want to teach the moves so that you can all learn them is the easiest way. Over the heads shots, etc. Tom Wolf The magic director and performer at the Rincon Gaucho supper club in Mexico City, We opened the first and only close-up room for magic in Mexico with Wolf Ruvinskis. have several new coin vanishes and routines to share shortly just as soon as I can find someone to film them for me.
