Having recently seen Tom Stone wow audiences at The Magic Castle, I decided to get his books. Both
are filled with excellent and very workable effects. Visual, creative and magical, the material in
both Maelstrom and Vortex is outstanding. As is evident with these books, Tom Stone is a thoughtful
man who puts time, energy, creativity and effort into creating his magic. The magic in these books
remind me of magic created by great magic thinkers like Tommy Wonder, Fred Kaps, Dean Dill and
Gaeton Bloom. Highly recommended!
