[@TonyClarkMagic]

I appreciate your kind words. Yes. I think of him whenever I am doing this routine.

[@Polishjazzman]

I saw Tony do this a few years ago at a convention in Vegas. He was moved to tears, as were many people in the audience; myself included. Bravo!

[@jaymagic54]

Sometimes the student exceeds the master. Bravissimo!

[@onehandtoppalm64]

Beautiful! Masterfully done! Thank you for posting this! I would have loved to have seen it live!

[@bobholt6217]

This is my favorite kind of magic. Sleight of hand with relaxing music playing. Magic is Art , Art is magic! Beautiful.

[@TonyClarkMagic]

[@jorgemirabal9492]

1) There are 3 rolled up pieces of paper under 3 sheets of paper. 2) Box place over the 3 rolled up pieces of paper and dragged to his left. 3) Take one sheet of paper & drop ring behind table. 4) Roll up sheet of paper and drop it behind table. 5) Repeat step 3 and 4 until 3 sheets of paper are gone. 6) Reveal the 3 rolled up papers from step 1 & 2. 7) Slowly transfer the 3 rings drop behind table back into the box & move box back to his left. 8) Unwrap the 3 rolled up balls of paper showing it is empty. 9) Reveal the rings in the box. Magic.

Wonderful performance. Whilst I agree with Latigoliath that Slydini's style could not be worn on anyone but Slydini, I was highly entertained by Clark's performance. Thanks for uploading this!

[@Rishikesh_Mohite]

Anyone else after watching his Fool Us performance?

[@louismariepicard]

What a beauty

[@Cardstealer1]

I met Tony Clark after one of his shows. I was lucky enough to get an autograph and talk to him.

[@TonyClarkMagic]

It was a dedication piece.

[@senseof_outrage9390]

2020 here. Congrats on your recent appearance! A very appropriate dedication to Slydini

[@TonyClarkMagic]

@@senseof_outrage9390 Thank you!

[@mattsmithmagic]

This was really magnificent

[@kurtmagic7777]

Just Wonderful!!!!! Perfect!!!!!!

[@Prinzmetal49]

Very beautiful music and performance, can make you cry :)

[@Renville80]

There was probably one more person clapping than actually present in the audience... Slydini. Very nice routine.

[@onip123]

A GREAT TWIST ON SLYDINI'S TRICK!

[@zauberer-bortini]

I love it-thanks -che bello, anche la musica

[@Smoothini]

Beast!

[@TonyClarkMagic]

Thanks, T!

[@JureGodlerOriginal]

Remarkable performance!

[@ViewtuberOG]

the paper balls were under the paper at the beginning of the trick it was so obvious in the way he placed it and the fact the flat paper was sticking up on that side.

[@TonyClarkMagic]

Thanks for watching!

[@alicrow]

nice twist and a nice ending am thinking abaut doing it my self

[@onip123]

A fantastic trick!

[@kunkushun1]

very impressive man very impressive :) great work :))

[@kingrobert1st]

When the paper balls were opened and the rings had gone it gave it away that the balls were different. If I did this I would ask a spec to sign all the papers.

[@louismariepicard]

It's amazing ...

[@videos4mydad]

If you do not want to read my hypothesis stop reading, now. The #1 rule in watching a highly practiced and polished performance is that there are NO coincidences. Anything that might seems slightly unusual might be a clue. I found it odd that he would place the box directly on top of the napkins and then yank the napkins away. I believe the 3 balls / box with rings was under the napkins at the beginning of the trick. The rest are beautiful palming and throwing balls away.

[@mattiaflip85]

a maestro!

Beautiful Routine!!

i love that song andrea bochelli romanza

Quick theres a fire! Everybody stand up and run!!🤣🤣. Mister why are u still sitting behind that table?….🫥

[@NYWAORCANZ]

may 9th 2014....why can't I connect to the tonyclarkmagic wedsite? what just happened?

[@philip2404]

This is in fact the Slydini style ... the basic concept of it is to make it obvious how it is done without amazing anyone !

[@ROBECABAL]

THERE ARE A LOT OF CUTS IN THE VIDEO, SO YOU IMAGEN HWAT THEY DO IN THE CUTS.

[@devchawda9414]

This version and the Fool Us version have few differences, I can get most part here ,but Fool Us version is too clean to even know how u got the tissue balls the red box

[@TonyClarkMagic]

You did some detective work. Thank you!

[@danielestefani2794]

Good work, but at the start there is a fail, the balls are under the papers and when he put the box on the papers they go inside it

[@a.tadvices9537]

I get it all balls on your lap, but I cant get it how they in box :D

[@TonyClarkMagic]

Thanks... Thats the Magic of it!

[@a.tadvices9537]

[@thatguy4211]

I know this trick

[@rokasbalboa123]

i get the first part!! basic slight of hand. drops all the rolled up papers on his knees. but next few parts i dont get

[@TheGabbia]

ahhh, come on!...I wanted to see nice magic tricks and instead i was heartbroken for the song!

[@videos4mydad]

@boydini1401 I shared my hypothesis, why not share yours?

[@DaDutch1988]

at 1:44 he pretends if he takes the ball with his one hand, but keeps it in the other, drops it in his lap, gone ball

[@TheJeffCorn]

You mean it's not real magic? My God, I had no idea.

[@ZachOconnorMagic]

@videos4mydad If I can get it without needing a hint, you can too :D

[@videos4mydad]

@ZachOconnorMagic How about a hint then?

[@boydini1401]

Unfortunately Videos4mydad, your appraisal of what you believe is totally wrong....Keep on guessing...

[@petefoxo]

This video is better than the others I have seen , It doesn't show you lapping and retrieving , the rings were a nice add on . You did better misdirection than most of his Balls in hat or balls in box . I give you a good rating because that is one of Slydini's greatest but He liked the Knotted silks as his favorite. You do sleights different than Slydini but I give you a 6.5 very nice presentation you can't see any picking up of balls very good .Sach

[@jazztom86]

I don't like that version too much. It's a bit "cheap" compared to Slydini's, which was all about the ability of getting the paper in the box without getting noticed. However you are really good at making them disappear!

[@TonyClarkMagic]

Ok.

[@TonyClarkMagic]

Thank you!

[@uncleho313]

@@TonyClarkMagic This homage version is absolutely wonderful. Great music too. I find it even more entertaining than Slydini s version as it uses very personal borrowed items (3 rings) from the spectators. True the initial load is a bit awkward (though it fooled me on the first watch as I didn't know precisely what to expect, contrary to Slydini Tony do not tell verbally what will happen). But anyway those 3 balls allows for a much more elegant choreography and free interpretation. Thanks for being inspiring in reviving classics! Btw Tony did you came up with an alternative load or still stick with this method ?

[@TonyClarkMagic]

@@uncleho313 thanks for your nice comments. I do have several variations on the load. It's evolved some since this video was shot. Thanks again!

[@whipivy]

I think the way Slydini did it was much harder, he didn't start the trick with all the balls in the hat, he started placing the balls in the hat on the second drop. Putting the balls in the box when it's placed onto the table doesn't take near as much talent, it's only half the amount of slight of hand; that's why there was only one Tony Slydini. But when all the magician has is the number of balls as there are sheets of tissue paper, that will require some practice in working with psychology and more slight of hand.

[@TonyClarkMagic]

Ok. Thanks!

[@danielestefani2794]

You are wrong, I just watched the video twice and I don't care that people consider me clever ;) however, the original performance is the best. That being said, goodbye Master!

[@Prinzmetal49]

This man has one ball too many in his lap ;)

[@mjsmcd]

dont get excited

[@ZachOconnorMagic]

@videos4mydad uuuuuuuuuhm. Wrong :D

[@andrewandjj]

You should stop referring to Tony as "this guy," who was one of Slydini's last students and worked with him for two years. Tony is also an incredible magician himself...probably not wise to refer to him as though he's just an amateur.

[@TheJeffCorn]

I know those words look like English, but you didn't put them in the correct order, which is ironic, considering you we're the one telling me to think out what I said. That being said, you missed the entire point. I was making fun of your need to make sure people know that you watched the video over and over until you saw the secret. The only people that care how magic works are the people who need others to think they're clever. Normal people know there's a trick, they just don't care.
