Slydini - Coin Routine

Tony Slydini appeared on The Dick Cavett show on November 7th, 1977. This was the first time that most Americans had ever had the chance to witness a performance by Slydini. (Slydini was not a great fan of performing on television due to a bad experience in Europe with bad quality production and poor editing.)

Today, Slydini is still a name that inspires awe in the magic community. While many great magicians rely on large apparatus, "box tricks", and technology.....Slydini was completely unparalleled in his ability to mesmerize an audience with something as simple as a few coins, a cigarette or a handkerchief from just inches away.

This clip features the last two effects in a larger coin routine and is an amazing and entertaining piece of magic. Enjoy!
