Snowstorm in Chicago Performance
Tom Dobrowolski’s 'Snowstorm In Chicago' is showcased in this performance video, presenting a compact yet powerful routine that builds across multiple phases to deliver a series of escalating impossibilities. The routine starts with a spectator selecting a card from a blue-backed deck, followed by the magician producing three red-backed cards that match the selection. The trick escalates with each new selection, culminating in the revelation that all selected cards from the blue deck are blank, and finally, the entire blue deck is shown to have blank faces. Designed for maximum impact with minimal sleight of hand, this routine is perfect for close-up or parlor settings, offering clean, examinable magic that leaves a lasting impression.
