Tom has been a magician for nearly 50 years. Hence the title of his new book. He has performed a number of times at the famous Hollywood Magic Castle. He has taught magic at Akron University, Polk Community College and Maplewood Joint Vocational School. He has written numerous articles for magic magazines and even has his own monthly column in The Linking Ring (the International Brotherhood of Magicians monthly magazine). Tom also lectures all over the United States and Canada to the magic fraternity and is one of two people who have attended every one of Fechter’s Finger Flicking Frolic close-up conventions where he was once the Guest of Honor.

Palmer Magic is proud to be the owner and publisher of Tom’s amazing book My (Almost) 50 Years of Magic.
