I knew Tommy Wonder only by his DVDs / Videos for Magicians, unfortunately I never met him personally.

We lost one of the best and most creative magicians in the world.

My deepest condolences for his family & friends.

SVEN B.

You showed us all how magic really could be.


Simply the best.



My sincere condolences to Tommy's family and friends.

Condolescence to Tommy's family and loved ones.

Experiencing Tommy as a performer, lecturer, and via the written word will continue to nourish anyone who was touched by him in this regard. Tommy was an artist. He had a craftsman's precision, a lapidarists eye and caring hands, and he unfailingly sought to discover and reinvigorate the "soul" in mystery...wherever he found it. I fondly remember a dinner in Venice, Italy we shared...never performing any tricks, we talked about what is really mysterious and seductive about our craft and art.

The one time I wrote something about Tommy the subject was the Uses of Silence...How apropos...

Tommy's voice may have been prematurely silenced, but his presence remains among us...which will eventually overcome our current sense of loss and sadness.
This presence consoles me now...

Magic of Tommy Wonder was great entertainment. My personal favourite is "The Ring, the Watch and the Wallet" -routine, the way he outwits the imaginary robber is just wonderful.

He had a skill to think his magic from the lay person's point of view as well, and he was brilliant in misdirection. He was truly a master magician.

Farewell master...

Resten ons-gelukkig-zijn boeken en d.v.d.'s;
maar blijven we helaas slechts met met de
herinnering aan een fantastische goochelaar,
maar vooral aan een uiterst aimabel mens.

Magic Moments ....
Just a couple of days before he died he attended the Dutch Magic Congres 2006 where he received
a standing ovation during the evening Gala during minutes not as performer but just as guest in the theatre.

It was really a well deserved Magic Moment .....

You could see that he was emotionally deeply touched and it was the last big applause he received when he was alive.
I hope it strengthend him the last days of his life.
Besides his books and DVD's it will be that moment which I will cherish my whole life.

I wish his family and closest friends my deepest condoleances.
