Dang, I've watched this so many times, and I know how he does everything, but he's so good at misdirecting that I forget to watch for the moves and I end up getting amazed again.
He takes his time with his sleights, he doesn't rush them, a mistake most young conjurors make is thinking the quicker you do the sleight the better. Graham Kirk said most sleights look better when done slowly. Slydini, we salute you.
I've seen other one coin routines,many...but none like this.This to me looks like magic.Some I understand,but on a superficial level. I can watch this performance again and again and feel the delighted surprise of a child.It is the impossible the imaginary brought to life.Bravo for Slydini and this lost magic.
Let's be honest, you eventually pickup what's going on after multiple viewings but your first (second, third, etc. :P) viewing of this is amazing! Simply fantastic, Slydini!
Slydini is a part of the magician's legacy. Dai Vernon was the only man to fool Houdini yet when asked if anyone could fool Dai Vernon, he replied "yes, it's Tony Slydini". Thank you Slydini for bringing joy and happiness to millions of people.
Esta rutina es histórica. Todos los juegos de magia deberían de ser así de simples. ¡Y digo simple, que no sencillo! Pues que será mas claro, que seguir una monedilla. simplmente hermoso, legendario.
@blahtoausername Not really. What he's doing is actually quite slow...it's the smoothness with which he does it and the way he misdirects your attention that makes it work. Also, there's a kind of "retention vanish" effect (a type of optical illusion) that takes place when he swings the coin forward from his lapel.
Simply saying, 'he drops it in his lap' is lame. If you were watching live youd never see that. Dont take away from his performance cuz you can study a video and see it flat and small. I dont think you understand that live youd have no clue.
