I met Slydini when I was 13 years old at Earthquake McGoon's Magic cellar doing a magic lecture..My dad took me,I was just flaberghasted at his magic. Years later I was doing magic professionally ( close-up,doves,Illusions) A great performer that I knew asked me to pick Tony up at the airport...His baggage was lost & he stayed over at my house,We did magic all night.We became friends & I met him at the airport on a regular basis.I never begged him to teach me so he liked that.I helped him get set-up for his lesson sessions w/10 magicians.I understood him with his Italian accent.He actually re-invented close-up & stage magic.

I always liked Slydini so much. What a great character, you have to remember close up magic wasn't really being done back in the day very rare.

Thank you for uploading this. It is lovely to see Slydini work and I have never seen this early TV performance before.

Wow this is great condition for its age and also amazing to see slyini's talent at a younger age then the other vids on the net, THANX A TON FOR UPLOADING THIS MAN! THIS IS HIS BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER IN MY OPINION!!

Wow what a great quality video. Slydini was a genius way ahead of his time and all pure skill. The paper balls make me laugh out loud every time I watch it.

As well as the magic Sablon was a brilliant crooner! Slydini AND Sablon on the same bill. Could it get any better?!!!

C'est juste magnifique! Un grand merci pour le partage de ce chef d'œuvre !

Quelle classe ! 👏👏👏

❤️❤️

He makes it look so easy and natural, but as someone who's been practicing the maestro's linking pins routine for over twenty years, I can assure you that it is anything but. Thanks very much for posting this.

Legend of magic.

This really made my day. Thanks for the post!

After watching magic for nearly 40 years, ever since I was a little boy, I have to say Slydini's "Paper Balls over the Head" has got to be one of the best and most memorable magic tricks I'e ever seen; a real classic. I'd put it up there with the Cups and Balls even, just for pure sleight of hand and magical skills...

maxLeifermann it's truly amazing because it presents the essence of magic - misdirection-directly to the audience. They see how the trick is done but that doesn't take away the entertainment.

Great Slydini! thank you Christian de MIEGEVILLE!!

his books are great. it appears that tony played a major influence in a lot of the performers back then. At one moment, all of the were talking and moving like tony. very polite performer

Awesome, So glad to see it. Thank you

merci pour cette vidéo sur Slydini extraordinaire !!

This is awesome! Slydini Slydini Slydini! This I hope gets 4 million views!

It is akin to dance...true artistry here.

A lot of lapping used where he drags the coin off the back of the table into his lap and pretends it is still in his hand - not too difficult.

I'm not spamming, I'm legitimately discussing the video. So you will get nowhere. He didn't even basically invent lapping. He didn't even remotely invent it. It existed a long time in many different forms before he came anywhere near it. I would learn a bit about magic history, if you want to make sensible comments on the videos :)

Who cares if noone asked. People don't post comments just because somebody else asks. You are being very dumb there. They post comments so other people can understand the video. By the way, your English is almost incomprehensible. I think you should take some English classes.

What a superb video of a truly superb magician. It bothers me that the general public doesn't really know any of the true masters of our art-form. Their loss, I suppose.

MASTERFUL.

Lol. The guys a master at his art. Wow is he good!

stunning performance

J’adore ce magicien . Je travaille actuellement les foulards.

Merci pour ce trésor !

absolument génial .

Merci Christian pour cet ajout.

Vraiment magnifique, un vrai magicien ! Que de la technique et des heures de manipulations et d'entrainement !

merci de partager de tels documents - Many thanks to share these wonderful vintages !

Amazing! It's such a master trick with balls!

Hes so smooth. Ive watched his videos so many times and still cant catch him.

I just love the last act. Everyone in the audience can tell so easily what he's doing, but it shows how, at the right angle, people will always be fooled!

My all time FAVORITE Close-up magician, performing the year i was born! & in FRANCE yet! {I'm of french canadian decent}. How awsome is THAT?! Thanks so very much for sharing this great footage of the man who was the EPITOMY of poetry in magic. :)

Marvelous

One of the closest thing to real magic I have ever studied in my entire lifetime.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I did not realize there was video of Slydini doing the paper balls. What treasure.

Wow, this is the best Slydini video I've seen! Thanks so much for this.

Thanks a lot for this Vide

in my humble opinion slydini's original one coin routine is "the "best one coin routine ever David roth eric jones etc has come up with their own but none of the routine that they come up with could match up with slydini's its magic in its simplest form simply artistic

Yeesh. Tough crowd.

Wait he’s barely got an accent here but when he was really old and doing stuff on the Cavett Show his accent was so thick 😂 so he mustve been playing it up Man i rly love mr slydini. What a legend!

Probably the best. Has to be.

The big competition as far as who the best close up magician was back in the day was Al goshman vs Slydini. We're talking about a close-up magic show I would also include Rene Lavond

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS I LOVE HIS SLEIGHT OF HAND ITS INCREDIBLE! How the hell did you get this footage your a genius!

Slydini wants to slap her when she keeps turning to the camera to translate

How did he do lapping when the lady was sitting right next to him?

I know...? I paid respect to this gentleman by purchasing and reading all his publications and videos..and actually valuing his secrets. You should feel ashamed of yourself.

🎼🎩

do you have any idea what song is playing at the background ?

can you guys recomend good coin techniques that would work when you are standing side by side someone at a bar? because the current two handed vanishes i try such as retention vanish dont work good. im sure my poor delivery is a factor but i think the side angle also leaves alot of the effects well less effective.

C'est dommage qu'elle ne suive pas complétement, quand elle réfléchit elle regarde devant elle, juste au moment ou sa magie opère. En tout cas cet artiste est impressionnant.

TRACK ID????

It's the original Allison..

incredible misdirection.. hard to track D:

And that is a point as well! "How am I supposed to 'like' this when he doesn't show us how he does it?" Sometimes people make me... sad.

How is it possible this has twelve dislikes?

Because this video is in B&W and lasts 13 min!

Someone who was too confused/mad.

Or maybe he was just upset because there was no color, lasers, wind machines or scantily clad assistants! :)

Someone who realized could not buy this tricks online.

Penn and Teller do a really cool trick in their Vegas show to a blindfolded audience member involving rings where the rest of the audience can see what is going on and how the blindfolded person is fooled, I wonder if that was inspired by this.

funny

New found vintage footage from magician and bunny (fail) kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6OEpMhwnpXaZso.html

This uses the hang ping chen move in the early phases and a lot of lapping in the one coin routine.

They are not "his" secrets. It's all public domain stuff you can find in Bobos and similar publications. Bobos is over 50 years old now, it's public domain. It's just Hang Ping Chen, lapping, false transfers, palms. They are not Slydini's moves more than anyone elses, just public domain magic, so it's perfectly OK to discuss and teach the moves for free. I will help new magicians learn for free - non of this purchase and pay nonsense for very old public domain magic secrets!

There is another but it is a lot worse quality. Still a lot to learn from it though.

Aucunement démodé. Eternel.

haha his gruff personality doesn't fit in with the French metropolitans in the video lol

This is total rubbish.....Slydini's whole act revolved around dropping things in to his lap, unsighted by the front-on camera & audience. Massively over-rated.
