The
Magical World of Slydini
This great master has released in print for the first
time ever his Linking Ring Routine. This one item alone took over 300
photographs plus six months of extensive writing by Karl Fulves. This two-volume
set contains over 1200 photographs by Arthur Manfredi and the text volume is
larger than the previous two-volume set as well. The format, however, will match
the first set of Slydini books: one volume of text, one volume of photographs
(8½" x 11"). Both volumes are lavishly produced, and both are
designed to open flat so you can master the routines in the most convenient way
possible.
Coins: Three
versions of the coins thru the table, including the “impossible” version
Slydini holds in reserve as a finalé encore after the other encores. Plus a new
routine called “Sliding Silver” and complete details on the famous Slydini
coin clip.
Silk Knots: Asked
to describe his favorite tricks, Slydini invariably says, “The one coin
routine and the knots.” The silk knots are famous around the world. Here is a
revised description of the knots and the way to handle the routine to extract
maximum impact.
HOUDINI silks:
Slydini ties one silk into a loop by knotting opposite corners. Then he links a
second silk through the first one and ties the opposite corners. The silks then
unlink. Further, the trick can be immediately repeated. Two silks, no gimmicks.
Splitting The
Knots: One of the most startling silk tricks I know of. Two silks are knotted
together at one end. They are instantly pulled apart, each silk still with a
knot in the end! It looks as if the knot split in two.
Rope: The
cut-and-restored rope routine, plus the complete equal-unequal rope routine with
simplified handling, plus Slydini’s never-before-published method of secretly
tying a knot in one end of a rope for his close-up rope knot routine.
Cards: Slydini’s
invisible pass, the Slydini aces, his complete Wild Card routine with a
sensational finish, a new version of the Slydini packet switch, and the Slydini
method of shifting the cut which fooled Vernon.
Miscellaneous: Text
also includes “Sweet Salt,” in which salt poured into the performer’s hand
vanishes, then reappears, and then changes to sugar; plus “Sugar Express” in
which sugar poured from a sugar packet vanishes and then reappears INSIDE the
packet; a four-sponge routine; a 3-to-l cigarette restoration; plus an
outstanding version of a borrowed ring off string routine; plus a revised,
expanded account of the famous torn and restored newspaper; PLUS one routine we
are burying here at the finish-a trick worth the price of the book-the
remarkable Slydini method of doing the “Sympathetic Silks.”
Don’t miss out on
this classic set of magic by Slydini. There is something here for EVERYONE who
loves magic in its purest form.
