Due to the interest in the Slydini link in the last Magic Roadshow, I've decided to publish two more in Magic Bullets. Slydini was born Quintino Marucci in 1901. Long considered a 'magician's magician', Tony Slydini was a master of misdirection. Dai Vernon is reported to have told Dick Cavett that the only magician in the world who could fool him was "Slydini"..
Watch how slow Slydini works. Watching him work, one would exclude the possibility that a sleight would, or could, occur. You know 'something' is going to happen, but not right now. Then, suddenly, the effect is over and you're REALLY wanting him to do it again, which isn't going to happen. Instead, Slydini is going to make you think he's going to give you a second chance to catch him, but he's going to do something entirely different, something again unexpected. The mark of a master...
