Spring holidays and families and giraffes-giving-birth and it all makes us reminisce and savor the richness of life. This is why we love magic, and why we celebrate it as an art.
The greatest magical artist we've had the good fortune to know was the incomparable Tony Slydini. We took lessons from him that were a postgraduate course with a double major in the arts and applied kinesiology. So we present today Slydini in his prime, circa 1960. It's the best film rendering we've ever found of his signature illusions: Paper Balls in the Hat, Coins Through the Table, One Coin Routine, Torn & Restored Cigarette and Paper Balls Over the Head.
