I first saw Tom at the Tomfoolery many years ago and it was then and remains one of the greatest
shows I have ever seen in my life. I went back several times and it was always fantastic.
This
lecture is a combination of Tom showing some of his stuff, but more than that. Tom tells stories
from days gone by and reminds us of such performers as Karol Fox, Duke Stern, and many others. It
is wonderful to hear him reach back and remind the listeners about the people he has worked with
and the wonderful brotherhood of which we are a part. Listening to this lecture made me proud to be
a magician, not because I learned some great tricks (though I did) but because magicians are a
family. If you need to be reminded that there are still good people in the world, listen to this
lecture. If you need to laugh, listen to this lecture. If you are down and feel as though things
will never work out for you, listen to this lecture.
Tom is one of the treasures of magic and it
is wonderful that Penguin was able to save 3 1/2 hours of treasure filled conversation.
I love
Tom Mullica and I loved this lecture. I think you will too.
