Blomberg Laboratories
Sweden's Tomas Blomberg is a revolutionary magic creator. He comibines mathematics, subtlety, gaffs, and sleight-of-hand to construct totally deceptive magic. In particular, his effects befuddle even the most knowledgeable magicians. If you love puzzles or physics or engineering, you'll find this book FASCINATING. Many expert magicians have heralded Blomberg as a reclusive genius, and now his highly guarded secrets will be revealed in a beautiful, oversized, hardback book. This book was first published four years ago, and it sold out of its first printing almost immedaitely. It received universal critical acclaim and became a sought-after collection on the second-hand market. We're delighted to announce that the book is finally back in print. So what's inside?
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 "Interlocked Monte," 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

Like many magic books, I’m unlikely to use 90% of the material in this book. However, the material I will use is genuinely fantastic. Highlights are: 113G; Blomberg’s Oil and Water; the TB Spread Double; and Lucky 14.
The remaining 90% of the books is fine, but not my style. I think a good number of the effects are over-engineered for my taste. I simply can’t justify going through a complex sequence when a bottom deal gets me to the same conclusion in a cleaner way. However, I do believe that card magicians who prefer finicky procedures over finicky moves will love it.

Had more praise than it deserved. A lot of clever tricks indeed, but none seem to fit much my style
