@heelfan1234 "What we do here is discuss and reveal methods so magic students can learn." What are you, a moron? The world wide web is not the place to teach magic secrets, idiot! And before you call me an "old dinosaur," let me explain that I am a 24 year old, professional magician, and jerks like you take the food off my table! Now, I'm not usually so insulting, but since you like to dish out out then you can learn to take it, jackass! Or you could just STFU. Yes, that's it! STFU!
-
@heelfan1234 Yes there is reason. The thing you don't get and more than likely never will. Is those that can't perform magic well try to teach on You Tube. They even suck at that. So there you go maybe you should find another hobby. B.T.W. this discussion was over before it even started.

@RS1963 No point in getting on your high horse RS ;-) You are obviously an old fashioned magician who doesn't understand the ways of the net. What we do here is discuss and reveal methods so magic students can learn. You can't fight it single handedly by saying this or that wasn't the right explanation when it is clear to everyone that it is! I get many thanks by private message from people who I help to understand the effects. It's clear that people listen to me and not old dinosaurs like you!

@heelfan1234 The point that you and others are missing is to stfu.

@RS1963 Haha, you crack me up RS. I have seen you assert that some explanation or other is not correct when it is 99% correct, just to throw onlookers off the scent. I think they listen to me :)
I don't think it is the Mercury, it is Tommy's version but that's when he folds it & he dumps the box on the palmed folded card a la shuttle pass. That's the basis of the effect. I think I have seen both Kaps and Wonder & others pass the card to the top, but here he just puts it on the top & folds it.
-
@heelfan1234 I'm very well aware of how Tommy does this effect. I have been doing a version of it before Tommy's was even known. I was doing it as Fred Kaps had done it. So I don't need an explanation that is still not completely correct in details or accuracy.
-
@RoslynWalker I know how all of this is done. Just look below at my explanation to the folded card. I've performed many similar effects myself. Tommy Wonder does have a great charm but this is very run of the mill magic. It is Tommy that comes through here, the effects are not very important.
-
@RS1963 Yes that was the wrong explanation. If you look more closely at 4:20 when he moves his chair back and after he fiddles around folding the card into quarters with a hidden fold a bit like the mercury fold. Then he palms the folded card, transfers it to his right hand, while spreading the deck, and when he opens the box he just pretends to dump it straight out into his hand, revealing the pre-folded card.

@CaraBrimleyRules Nope you aren't even close to how the card in ring box effect works. In fact you're miles off
Amazing!!!! Such an awesome magician.
For those that claim to know the secret, let me quote the late Fred Kaps before you post your message and spoil the fun for everyone else:
"I know that to play a violin I put the instrument to my face, press my fingers on the strings and strike it with a bow. Then music comes out. That's the secret to playing the violin, but it doesn't mean I can do it. You may know the secret to a trick, but it doesn't mean you can perform magic."

If you're gonna be on someone elses show, thats kinda the name of the game. I'm sure Wayne would have loved to give Tommy more time, but that wouldn't work with the format of the show. We are in agreement in that I would have loved this clip to be 30 minutes of tommy instead of 5.
