A trip to Hollywood
Tom Stone and friends went to The Magic Castle in Hollywood to show off Swedish magic!






Tom Stone alternates between subtle humor and passionate drama, sometimes from moment to moment, and sometimes in the same breath. As a magician, Tom plays with what we see, and with what we think we see. His great passion for magic as an art form, his respect for its roots and its old masters, and his talent for dissecting human cognition and perception – and his ability to twist and turn the parts and put them together into something completely new, have given him recognition and respect from professional magicians around the world.
Tom is today one of the magic world’s hottest creators, lecturers and writers. He travels the world to coach other magicians on how to become even better, and he was the head teacher of the western world’s first university education for magicians. At an awards gala in Hollywood in 2016, Tom received the “Creative Fellowship” award from the Academy of Magical Arts.
Tom has written many books and articles for professional magicians. He is also a sought-after artist who has performed all over the world, in all contexts from cultural festivals in Portugal, theater magic in Stockholm, Japanese TV, and repeated engagements at the legendary Magic Castle in Hollywood.
March 2005 Breaking News! The Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood have just informed us that we (Tom Stone, Nikola Arkane & Gaston) are nominated for their Stage Magician of the Year award, for our Palace Show. It is a great honor to be nominated, and I hope many will vote for us.
You can see the whole show in the adjacent video.


Tom Stone brought plenty of wit and innovation to his act. It’s clear why so many consider him to be a teacher and master of the craft. If you’re called up on stage by Tom, you never know quite what you’ll be in for, and this made him a joy to watch!

Tom is an excellent and encouraging instructor. His enthusiasm for teaching is matched by clear pedagogy and progressions. Our students consistently comment on how much they learn from Tom about the techniques and philosophy of performing magic.

It’s A Fact! Tom Stone’s magic is exceptional, premium and superior. You get to witness magic performed in a way, never seen before..
The Magic Castle looks forward to the return of Tom Stone.

I have read several of Tom Stone’s published articles on how magic works. I am not a magician, but based on my own observations, he is one of the smartest and most capable magicians in the world.

Tom Stone is one of the few magicians I’ve seen, whose work addresses the audience’s desire to have a magical experience. Of course he “fools” them but more importantly his work transports them to a world where the limitations of life disappear and anything becomes possible.

Tom Stone is a rare phenomenon: a fountain of cleverness and creativity, and a truly excellent performer. Whether he is performing or teaching, I want to be in the first row.

The Conjuring Workshops will be given again, July 27 to August 1, 2026.
The venue is Sigtuna Folkhögskola, in a small village near the Arlanda Airport, just north of Stockholm, Sweden.
As before, the workshops are 6 full days long, from early morning to late evening. It is intense work, but very very fun.
Four workshops are held in parallell. The main one is Conjuring A, with focus on the authoring of magic, how new performance work is created. Misdirection, deceptive structures, dramatic plots, dramatic exercises, propmaking.
Conjuring B and C are continuations for returning magicians.
Exploring the Act is the most recent addition. In this workshop, you bring an act, or an idea for an act, and improve it through a structured process.
The workshops themselves are basically free of charge, but you pay for food and lodging.
The application forms open on January 2, 2026. The courses tend to fill up very fast, often all spots are taken within 48 hours.
