Slydini Paper Balls over Head Higher Quality Version

The popular clip of this trick is very difficult to see, this is an extract from a preserved taping of the Dick cavett show

[@DanielBrownsan]

It's one of those "tricks" where, even when you see how it's done, you STILL have no chance of doing it successfully yourself. THAT is magic.

[@p3drozroom]

So basically, every sleight of hand trick in existence, lol.

[@randalfthestray1374]

I have done this, as well of a lot of Slydini work. It takes a real master to have the "touch" required.

[@manomagik6634]

​@@p3drozroomdon't sell yourself short, with practice, you too could be a magician! 🤘🏼🎩🤘🏼 Just probably not as good as Slydini!

[@manomagik6634]

​@@randalfthestray1374Steve Bedwell has a cool one, but he uses pieces of rope instead of paper balls and it is great and funny AF!

[@p3drozroom]

@@manomagik6634 wow that comment was 6 years ago lol. Yes, I agree! I remember learning one trick since then and it felt great, but never smooth haha needs a lot of practice for sure

[@laughingphilosopher]

“It’s amazing to me how Slydini must have studied human psychology in order to perfect this trick. He knows not only how people see, but how they think. The magic is not in his hands, but in your mind. I never tire of Slydini, there will never be his equal, and I’m so happy he touched my life with his art.”

[@sargonnis]

It's sad that so much was lost from this great man. True Genius!

[@springbloom5940]

Kostya Kimlat is a beast. But its difficult to rank, because magic is a completely different culture than what Slydini worked in. Sadly, he would likely go largely unnoticed today, simply because of how many decent magicians there are sucking up all the bandwidth.

[@jthomas3.1416]

Best misdirection ever! I could watch him for hours. Blackstone Junior did a version of this in his stage show. An assistant would pop out from behind the curtain at just the right moment to catch the ball behind the subject and duck back off stage completely unnoticed. Audience went crazy. An unbelievable routine

[@beanMosheen]

Amazing. He got him used to sitting up and back, and he even prepped his pocket for the plant.

[@miksstudio]

My Dad used to drive his Mum crazy doing this to her, his parents were deaf and mute, so he could use any object and she wouldn't hear it land.

[@CinnamonDuelist]

you dont have to be mute to not hear the object land, just being deaf is fine.

[@Renville80]

The phrase “deaf and mute” is as offensive to the deaf as the N word is to the Black community. There are many deaf who can speak passably well in spite of hearing little or nothing.

[@miksstudio]

@@Renville80 his parents would call themselves "deaf and dumb", neither could hear or speak.

[@miksstudio]

@@CinnamonDuelist we and they always just described themselves that way, although they wouldn't use the word "mute". Just used to saying it.

[@NicholasGehr]

@@Renville80 Apparently not as offensive as you didn't say "The D and M words" like you said "The N word".

[@trainliker100]

My lady friend and I encountered a magician performing tricks on the street and he picked her to sit down and do a version of this trick. It was hilarious to hear the crowd laugh louder and louder as she was amazed the items kept disappearing. Yes., the trick is obvious to the audience, but it still takes real skill to pull it off smoothly.

[@Hopebestman]

I watched so many tricks and stuff. Jugglers, cards tricks, illusions etc. but this, this one is my favorite. When ever i want to get entertain, this video is always here.

[@CenKyne]

Im noticing a lot of activity on this video today. Did someone post it somewhere?

[@Hopebestman]

@@CenKyne nope, i was watching some magic tricks and i remembered this.

[@elliot-blumberg]

And that's when Tom Riddle decided he would take the Dark path.

[@jacksparrow9044]

The closer you see, the lesser you know

[@majorzero39]

that guy is us and slydini is the world

[@224Jaman]

:(

[@BuckBowen]

This never gets old.

[@たっつみー-i5e]

Absolutely spectacular, imressive, and beautiful. This video simply explains how magic as entertainment should look.

[@szekiwong5595]

lmao also the cc is so funny "the ball is there"-->"the body's dead"

[@Bazanadu]

It's not just what he does. What he says is extremely important. Watch and listen carefully.

[@HeisenbergBrB]

This is extraordinary!

[@Tomeleck]

They don't call him sly for nothing.

[@Thecoinmanproof]

His table hand motion is very beautiful, like the basics of all magic.

[@siegfriedwolf739]

I am the only one who has been watching this for years?

[@ianscott3762]

Unbeatable

[@mirkodetommaso5926]

Master of misdirection... AMAZING...

[@jorgemedina7313]

The master of the Misdirection!

[@antonio.meli.]

Leonardo Di Caprio, 3:36, is a good spectator after all

[@silver71orologi29]

Grazie Tony,( Quintino Marucci)da mago.....a leggenda

[@prest1geex]

This is the funniest thing that has ever happened in the history of the world

[@HulkVahkiin]

Even if the audience sees how it's done they are so freaking entertained XDXD That is magic XDXD

[@chengphuan5527]

Misdirection god

[@manueli.3258]

Priceless

[@manomagik6634]

What an amazing routine from the master Slydini! I love watching the magicians from back in the day, it really reminds me that we stand on the shoulders of giants! Read books Do magic Fight evil! 🤘🏼🎩🤘🏼

[@warrenvazquez]

Beautiful

[@kujmagic]

The master

[@Vandalshnitzen]

I know this is an old video, but does the young guy look like Leonardo DiCaprio to anyone else?

[@AAAskeet]

Ben Stiller brought me here

[@CenKyne]

Wait.. what? :p

[@AAAskeet]

@@CenKyne he gave an interview on Howard Stern praising him as a magician hero of his

[@CenKyne]

@@AAAskeet well he picked a damn good one! hope more check him out I love his coin stuff :D

[@esling77]

Bad Ass

[@christophernichols4892]

Amazing!

[@j3r3miasmg]

If someone tell that the guy is Penn, I would believe it.

[@kokokoko344]

Thank you!

[@johnholmstrom4212]

Did he call the spectator "stupid" at 2:06? LOL wtf?

[@CenKyne]

"It's too big"

[@velocibadgery]

it's amazing!

[@mattsmithmagic]

This is great lol

You might not believe this, but television also used to not be in color!

If you pause at 2:37 you can see him throwing the paper over the guys head. Not very subtle.

[@banik20080]

That's the whole point, you dolt. Everyone can see it except for the victim. That's why it's funny.

[@etxkevin7452]

​@@banik20080 "Everyone can see it.." Exactly Captain Obvious! I guess we know you're not as fast as Drax.

[@ricardolafou5921]

This must be the guy sitting there. 😁

[@stanleyzhou]

@@banik20080 The joke completely flew over your head.

[@SolarisKane]

Wow, this guy has zero observational skills. Hope he's never witness to a murder because he wouldn't notice anything!

[@CenKyne]

You'd be surprised. Slydini learned how to get millimeters out of someone's view.

[@SolarisKane]

@@CenKyne Some people perhaps, not me. I don't fall for these exaggerated and pointless movements. I'd be like "hey what are you doing, why did you move your hand over there?" He might get the paper toss out of my peripheral, but I would still see the hand move.

[@deadff]

I think this slydini is crap

[@jangray395]

Thus proving that what YOU think is about as astute as a drunken tramp rolling in the street. Useless and not worth anything of anyone's time. Have fun.
