Al Flosso- A True Legend of Magic From Fantasma Magic

[@Kosnitzky]

I can watch this a thousand times. Rest in Peace Al.

[@BeezleBozo]

That boy will never forget that experience for as long as he lives. Thanks Al Flosso for the endless memories!

[@kingofkards91]

Gotta love someone who can talk like that and still be understood. I really love that coin routine. Any magician who is good enough to perform The Miser's Dream is EXTREMLY respected in the magic community.

[@unclejoe7958]

Can't forget these guys.They kept magic alive. I think magicians were respected more 60 yrs ago. However,all these effects are viable today. Thanks for the upload.

[@MisterFitShace]

Classic. I wish this guy was still around.

[@drsheck]

Wow, flash from the past. I used to go uptown to Al Flosso's magic shop when I was a kid in the '70s. He was pretty old back then, but kind and talented and generous with his time.

[@archtopp1]

This guy is great!!!!! Thanks for posting this.

[@mattdougdmuse]

My God... That was cool beyond words!!! I love the side-show barker patter and style. It's really a shame that this style of performing went the way of the dodo. If only the average layperson of today's world could be entertained like this again. Thanks so much for posting this!

[@suchapill3077]

They would believe again.

Excellent, TC Silk was a beauty to watch as was the M dream. Thanks for uploading.

[@mchenfoto]

So Amazing, Great to have known him personally- always great advice

[@rwtv]

"That's the one I want. Blown it in there" Brilliant!!! A true legend if ever there was one.

[@saubanansari5783]

[@wontonga]

Al Flosso! Born, Albert Levinson in Brooklyn in 1895. Died in 1976 Another great Jewish magician!

The WC Fields of Magic.... Great Video!

[@Houdiniunlocked]

I love the Flosso King of Koins. Fantasma,s new space has a great museum showing his props.m

[@mariomorrismagic]

WOW that was brilliant

[@wontonga]

Al was great! He was an old time Jewish Vaudvillian until he bought the Martinka shop way back in 1939. It was a messy, lovable place. His son Jackie took it over when Al passed away, I think in 1967. And Jackie himself passed on a few years ago in 2003.

[@mizzlexi09]

That was really good.

[@zombiefulci3301]

The great Dai Vernon came to Coney Island as a young man and taught Al Flosso tricks even he never saw!

[@jimdevo]

[@TAROTAI]

W.C. Fields!!! And that is the way the ball bounces when you use someone else's talent!

[@robertfarrar6212]

Hard to beat a comedy Miser's Dream!

[@conniemiholee]

Pretty Awesome!!!! I wish I met him though... He's pretty awesome!!!! I never knew that magic was really awesome in the oldie days! I wish he was alive, at least in my heart and mind! :D That's the spirit! :] Wished that the new days was the old days. :D claps LOUDLY!
