Slydini - Coin Routine

[@chaimleibel]

I took 5 lessons from Slydini in 1981 or 1982. I did his coins through the table for many people at work and at home, and everyone was happy.

[@manuojeda4939]

Its so simple, but is that simplicity that makes it beautiful

[@manuojeda4939]

4 years later and watching it again I come to the same conclusion, that simplicity is not a lack of something but rather what provides its beautifulness

[@riggsmusic]

1:10 damn.. someone in the crowd really liked that part.

[@MelanieMaguire]

So beautiful and fluid. Like watching a ballet.

[@DukeLaCrosse20]

He could fool a vending machine!

[@JackassJimbo]

much harder would be to fool a vending machine with a cardtrick.

[@themuse321]

This comment is so underrated.

[@lavidano1620]

So inspiring, every move is so simple, you can learn all his moves in any basic sleight of hand in the library, but it is HIS PERFORMANCE man. This guy proves ONCE AND FOR ALL that magic is more than just the secret, it is the legend that performs it. What are we doing with all of our magic gimmicks today when he can evoke the feeling of magic just like that ! We should strive to be like him !

[@Best-go8cd]

man i dont know how he do that and its amazing!!!!!!

[@jasonmadden6653]

Simplistic yet flawless

[@EXRazeBurn]

The mark of a true master: when you're fairly confident you've figured out exactly how they're pulling it off, and that knowledge makes their illusion MORE impressive, not less.

[@lavidano1620]

Exactly ! Makes us wake up with all of our modern magic gimmicks, it cannot hope to attain the feeling of magic this man can evoke with just a few coins and slight of hand.

[@BewilderedBird]

Flawless and beautiful. Thank goodness for youtube or I would of never known about this man, he was way before my time.

[@Void-uj7jd]

That is absolutely beautiful.

[@wikiemol2]

The method he used in this video was the first trick I ever learned as a kid. Its sooo simple. Yet even so, It took me like 5 times watching it to realize what he was doing! He is simply amazing!

[@marktheaustin]

Absolutely beautiful

[@aulonbino23]

I've been doing magic with coins and cards for a long long time... and this video showed me of how to move your hands in such a natural way that the others are not able to observe what actually is going on. The movements of this Great Magician Slydini are so natural that somebody who doesn't know how the trick is done cannot observe the slightest mistake.

[@desmoMarco91]

And he was 76 here...simply beautiful

[@supahsekzy]

Ahh!! Slydini did such simple stuff, but executed so flawlessly and smoothly that you don't catch it.

[@emirunalan1287]

his moves are so elegant

[@brightoff]

This guy was great. His tricks looked so simplistic yet they were so amazing.

[@magesentron]

A master of the art, and inspirational to no end.

[@TheCardFish]

I only recently discovered these videos of Slydini on KZbin. He is simply amazing. I love watching this routine and the helicopter card.

[@magicmanjoe7134]

So Beautiful. Best magician known to man.

[@TonyRush]

With respect, if you think David Copperfield is the best magician in the world....that puts the rest of your list in serious doubt. He's a great entertainer...but in terms of actual ability and skill, I wouldn't put him in the Top 10 by any stretch. Stage magic is its own art....but it's also far easier than the rigors of close-up and parlor magic. I agree with you on Ortiz, Harris and Vernon. But you're also leaving out people like Charlie Miller, Frank Garcia, Bill Malone and numerous other magicians who the world has never heard of....but who can run circles around people like Lance Burton and the Bucks. Lastly, I give you credit for at least including Ricky Jay on your list. But, again, the fact that you think the Bucks are more talented than Jay makes me think that you've either got a bias toward the Bucks or you really don't know what Jay can do. Fun debate, though.

[@TonyRush]

+vernonclassic, firstly, you're addressing the wrong person. It was someone else who said "Get outta here with this list", not me. Secondly, you're entitled to your opinion but you don't seem to want to give others the courtesy of being entitled to theirs. Thirdly, no one would disagree that -- in terms of fame and success Copperfield has achieved more than any other modern magician. But, that's not an assessment of his talent/skill as a magician; that's an assessment of his marketability, his ability to select material that appeals to a broad audience, his business acumen and a great many other factors (many of which are related to his company and employees, not to him as a magician.) So, again, if you want to opine that David Copperfield is the best magician in the world, I'll give you all the space in the world to have that opinion. But you need to recognize that A.) it's an opinion and B.) you've not made much of an argument for his skill/ability/talent. You've only pointed to his commercial success. And that's an entirely different topic.

[@mcleod533]

I am not a fan of challenge magic either but this is pretty mild. The challenge is done very gently and with a slight tongue in cheek manner. I really don't think it is a big deal at all. This is a master at work. I am very pleased that this has been preserved. Mind you, you should have seen him in his prime!

[@eking7690]

I dont think that i'll ever not be completely amazed by Slydini's coin magic. What a legend.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

0:48 - That's a master move

[@PaiCuiKe88]

its so simple but great. a true Master!

[@huntergaming7253]

Best coin magic

[@arunananth10]

His magic is so simple yet so jaw droppingly amazing/

[@xellart]

What a beast!

[@fritzruddo1037]

this man is legend!!

[@Tigerpaws9097826]

Until finding this video, Slydini had only been someone I'd read about. What a master! Thank you for posting this.

[@Jh-bx7vo]

Like a Bee Lapping up Honey! This was Sweet!!

[@OpusMagnoCards]

Misdirection master!!! Congratulations once again master Slydini!!

[@johnmcdonagh3501]

the best magician of all time !?

[@RAZIMagician]

ive been doing magic for two years and this was the first time i had seen a video of slydini, i should have watched him earlier

[@ham-mockery6440]

Surprised David isn't here

[@KshitijChoudhary]

He is simply FAB...!!!!

[@TonyRush]

@CaraBrimleyRules First of all, I'll be deleting your post after you see this reply due to your exposure of the effect. Secondly, Dick Cavett (the person you called a "stooge") was a famous TV personality AND a student of Tony Slydini's. He's not a stooge; he's someone who appreciates the talent was overjoyed to be able to introduce his mentor to the American public through this TV show.

[@OttoErdmann]

Man, he is good. I only know 3 sleight of hand coin moves as a beginner and that guy is inspiration.

[@mehdisplay9779]

just awsome!!!

[@silvercoins]

fantastic

[@mrdirexion]

damn... This is that old school fly pimp s***.

[@MrJeanjean1979]

very true, i've been doing magic for 12 years. i use some of his methods but had to work on them to fit my style of movement when i do magic. but trying to do as he does is impossible. you had to be slydinni to pull it off

[@CreepX]

These tricks are so delicious I could lap them up all day like a thirsty mutt, more more!!!

[@mattoita]

the way he goes " ...'s empty, 's empty..." :) :) :)

[@TonyRush]

@thatwasfintanstack The challenge with that argument (and Mr. Ortiz') is that it assumes that everyone should do magic the same way. Slydini's style simply wouldn't work for anyone but Slydini (although many have tried and looked silly). But, for him and his personally, it worked for his spectators. Could he have chosen a different style that would have worked for more people? Probably. But it is what it is. At any rate, he was an amazing magician who contributed a lot to magic.

[@miamimagicians]

Tony was incredible! Him and Albert gosh men are like some of my favorite magicians to watch

[@greg55666]

Wow, this is really cool, now I know who Tommy Wonder studied with.

[@Phyoomz]

Slydini was the fuckin OG

[@MrPhildas]

great

[@CrayonsAreTastey]

I am just so confuzzled, he is sly...

[@TonyRush]

(cont'd) involved in filming. It was only because of the invitation of his student (Dick Cavett) that he agreed to do the show. He wasn't concerned that Dick would see the method; Dick was as student of his as has already been explained. Perhaps it would assist if you learned something about Slydini and his magic before showing more ignorance in these comments: do a search on "Tony Slydini Dick Cavett".

[@eukodol]

Look as I misdirect you! But as you're looking, he's misdirection you again.

[@TonyRush]

@CaraBrimleyRules Firstly, I won't have the method discussed on this wall simply because it's viewed by more than just magicians. The fact that has to be explained to you is the best indication that you don't have very much respect for the craft. Secondly, I know what a stooge is. What you're missing is that the culture of TV and entertainment was very different than today. In fact, one of the reasons why there isn't more footage of Slydini is because he hated the line-of-sight issues

[@Katalyzt]

Perfectly done ᵔᴥᵔ ★★★★★ Katalyzt

[@Cestdesconneries]

@da2ielko haha, i do believe i do. Good point man. Hard to critisize grammar when idk it myself. just figured the "aw" part was like "awe" in "awesome". Never actually seen the word written down. I'll remember that now :)

[@nebrotskcor]

easy to learn, hard to master

[@SpaghettiMagic]

the best one coin routine i ever seen

[@rtangerful]

"It's so simple"

[@JIMKUltra]

Fucking astonishing to watch!

[@FredKruegerKrueger]

I could follow every one of his moves. He is good though.

[@yaskynemma9220]

Por esto se llevaba bien con René lavand, ambos trabajaron en la belleza de lo simple

[@rexspencer5107]

Are these camera tricks??......How in the hell did he do that??...

[@randysager3523]

+Rexford V SPENCER No.

[@LucaTurilli89]

@thatwasfintanstack love Darwin Ortiz on card cheating. Any other movies of him you know? :)

[@kevinpelouze489]

I could do this

[@MrPhildas]

what a gent great

[@TonyRush]

@CaraBrimleyRules New magicians can get their instruction from a more appropriate -- and less public -- source than my KZbin Channel.

[@TonyRush]

@ninjaassasin4 With respect, if you ever achieve the success and notoriety of of Slydini, I think you might be in a position to criticize his routines. :)

[@KanVul]

Демон)!!!!

[@doudoumagicien2632]

ki ne connait pas???

[@roccoVAL]
