Tommy, you are one of the greats, and as long as we all perform some of your magic, you will live on. I met you only once and you touched my magic life in a big way, and you didn't even perform magic for me you just gave me a big smile and some advice and that showed the great person behind. THANK YOU TOMMY WONDER!

Condolences go to Tommy's family and friends on behalf of the Mexican Magicians.

I for one am deeply saddened by his death; for me, he was perhaps the 'definitive' icon for the classic magician, and perhaps
the last of an era of superb Dutch magicians. One recalls the names of Fred Kaps and Richard Ross....and now we sadly
lose Tommy Wonder.

I recall seeing Tommy for the first time in 1979 at the one-off BMS convention; as well as the likes of Burger & Williamson,
came Tommy Wonder - a slight, intense gentleman, with captivating magic that pulled you in, then blew you away. I got fooled many,
many times after that - mostly whilst watching that damn cups & balls routine!

Luckily we have classic Books Of Wonder to remind us of his sheer brilliance, and total mastery of the art of 'attention direction'

I am very sure, like me, he will live on in the hearts of many magicians across the planet and I trust the world over will share our loss,
as well as celebrate the unique life of a real magical champion and a 'wonderful' guy.

Beste Jos,
Geschokt venam ik dat het allemaal zo snel was gegaan.
Zo snel na het congres 2006 in Rotterdam.
Ben blij dat ik je daar nog even gezien en gesproken heb.

Goede herinneringen blijven bestaan......

The book of wonder is closed...
But not forgotten....

What a shock!! I can`t believe.... I will never forget his great advice and humanity that gave me , the inspiration that took over.
Thank you Tommy its a sad day...but you are still alive!! The magic that you left us will keep you with Us .
Thank you.

You've been a wonderful inspiration and teacher, Mr. Tommy Wonder. It was a fantastic experience meeting you at my first magic convention... without any airs, you epitomised grace and your teachings have always been very clever & insightful. Your legacy lives on, and your magic will continue in the hearts of all who have had the oppurtunity to know you and your work.

The world has lost a present day master of magic... You are dearly missed.

Rest in peace sir. Know that you are loved.

Yours from Singapore,

As a relative newcomer to magic, Tommy entered and touched my life through his DVDs, and inspires me as to how magic should be.

As a human with 43 years experience, the tributes of those who knew Tommy through personal contact have also touched my life, and inspires me as to how people should be.

In this time of immense sadness for those who shared time and love with Tommy, I sincerely hope they can take some small solace in the fact that I, as a complete stranger, have been touched by the loss of a wonderful magician and, perhaps more importantly, a wonderful person.

He achieved more in his short time with us as a magician and as a person than most could aspire to.

Though time was cut short, it was time that had such an immense impact on many - even strangers.

My love and thoughts go out to family and friends. How proud you must all feel that you shared time together with a wonderful man!
