Blomberg Laboratories

Tomas Blomberg från Linköping är inte som andra magiker. Han kombinerar sin bakgrund inom matematik och fysik, med sitt intresse för pussel och skapar en typ av magi som på ett väldigt unikt sätt är hans egen. Många experter inom magikonsten hyllar Tomas Blomberg som ett geni och för första gången någonsin har hans skapelser och väl förborgade hemligheter publicerats i en vacker och stor (i bokstavlig mening) bok. Författare är Andi Gladwin och han beskriver 65 av Tomas Blombergs allra bästa effekter, både med kort och med andra objekt, med illustrationer plockade ur Tomas egen dator. Boken är på engelska så vi återger förlagets beskrivning på engelska:

"Blomberg Laboratories is not as good as I had hoped it would be ... it's even better."
- Michael Weber

In Blomberg's world, the method is just as interesting as the effect. For example, you will learn a completely new approach to the Card at Any Number style routine where the deck secretly-and automatically-cuts itself at the named number. In a "Hold Your Gilbreath," you use mathematics to decipher whether there is a sharp pin hidden under a row of randomly ordered cups. In "Time After Time" the spectators are able to find their own selections, even after they mix the cards themselves. Intrigued? You should be. The methods are completely fresh, and unlike anything you have ever used in your magic before.

Sleight of hand fans are in for a treat as the book is full of new effects and techniques. In particular, pay attention to Tomas' work with the spread double lift: this refined technique has been used by card magic's elite for many years and it is finally published here, for the first time, along with five effects using it.

In total, author Andi Gladwin teaches 65 of Tomas' most interesting creations. We live an era where quality magic books are scarce, and Blomberg Laboratories is a welcome addition. This book has been three years in the making, and the material has taken a lifetime to develop.
