Learning from Lance would be a dream come true

I've watched too much fool us. The loads and switches are so obvious. Not that he isn't good and it isn't fun to watch the of the originals, but his sleight of hand is just ok at best by today's standards.

im interacting with this so this video hopefully blows up and then we get to know the person's name

Can you please tell me who is this talented guy?

*Omg how* 😮

Lance is one of my favourite magicians ever. I love his stage presence. I still remember seeing his dove act, handkerchief candles and so on… such a great performance.

Beautiful

Lance needs more black hair dye. Hahahahaha

wow, I looked all over the place after The Encounter came out for this specific technique through all kinds of books and stuff. I was a kid back then, but on a whim just decided to see if the internet could point me in a direction and what do you know here it is. Amazing...thanks for sharing.

Kiddos happy with the space, and not you…correct?! WalkINBeauty

brilliant. thank you sooooooooooooooooo much for sharing.

Love me some Curtis.

I absolutely LOVED the Simmon & Sher Show and that song, "You Have Me, Baby" They had great shows back on my television days then.

Why didn't Slydini defend special homosexual rights ? He wasn't no dirty mexican !

Awesome, you have this video, but I feel as if you should keep this just for yourself as you're exposing a method for manipulation. Just my two cents.

Dang! This mofo could play the new 007. And he doesn't need Q as he has all the gadgets! #respect for this talented entertainer!

Takes me back to 1972 at The Fabulous Trick & Magic Company on East Charleston Blvd where Gary's Club used to meet. Think about Him most everyday and still drive by there once in a while . . . . . . .

you are so good ❤

The repetition of the effect is a good twist most of the time I saw people do it only once. Putting the cards down between the productions help selling the Illusion that there are much more cards produced. Well done!

Always glad to discover Slydini content that I've never seen before!

I met Lance in 1999 after his show in Las Vegas. Lance is a Legend, and such a lovely person.

The “Sly” in his stage name certainly fits! Definitely one of, if not THE greatest closeup magicians ever!

nice

Best slight of hand ever

Lance is amazing!

❤

Thanks for posting this. I have been suffering from depression since 2019. I randomly bought a ticket to the Summer Carnival tour in San Diego. I have been stressing about it for weeks...thinking about selling the ticket. This clip made me feel something approximating joy for the first time since my husband abandoned me for his barista. I am going to do whatever it takes to get to that concert!

Excellent sleight, I only caught him once flash the ball in his right hand that was supposed to be empty, the yellow briefly flashed...

Love him!!!

Really nice production idea to hold the hat in the other hand this gives the manipulation a nice impromtu touch. It is also great to see manipulation out of a stage scenario. However I do not understand your Finale because I was missing the climax. In my opinion it makes no sense to drop the hand with the last card behind the body only to backpalm it again. (I thought you would load for a final Fan) You could instead have pretended to throw the card in the Air and vanish it then reproduce on fingertip. I also would leave out the showing of the hands empty move at the end because in my opinion it does not make the last production more impossible.

Give thanks for Mr. Dick Cavett. Because of him, we have video recordings of all this wonderful talent through the years. Thank you, Mr. Cavett

I took lessons with Slydini at Mostly Magic in nyc .

Very interesting he’s always been great

Superb👌🏻👌🏻

Cher said he smelled like a goat.

This is a wonderful 6 minute clip of a Slydini performance highlighting his One Coin and Sponge Ball routines on his 1975 first appearance on the Dick Cavett show .Note Steve Allen in the plaid jacket sitting on Cavett's left.

❤💯👍🍾

Great fun show.💯👍

What a superb sequence! Really well thought out. I’m a Michael Skinner fan, but I don’t think I’ve come across this particular Ace production in his publications. Thanks for sharing.

That was an electric audience for you?? Wow, one of the lamest performances I've ever seen! The rope trick was acceptable, best part of your routine by far, the rest was literally horrible and almost painful to watch. What a GRACIOUS audience to give you as much response as they did, which was meager at best.

Great performance! He handled the "ball question" like a pro and the flash of the first big ball, too! Keep on going, bro! 👍

I don't like sponge ball routines, and yet, I would watch Slydini perform an hour straight of nothing but sponge ball magic. Incredible.

Good job👍

"promo sm"

Oh wow, I think I saw you at Magifest this weekend!

I loved it! Great job!

He did you do that. Lol😂

Always a thrill to watch the Master at work. I bought his two volume set (photos and text) when I was 17 (1979) for 120.00. I learned most of his coin routines, the 'helicopter' card trick and a few cigarette effects (most of which he had done on his first DC show). Those volumes impressed upon me the creative potential of Magic (sleight of hand)...Slydini could not read (or afford) magic books in his day, so, he decided he would invent his own magic, his own sleight of hand (so much depends upon 'controlling the angles'). Today, there is virtually no table magician that does not incorporate one of more of Slydini's moves.

Looks like a young L Ron

Took 5 lessons from Slydini in 1980. Enjoyed watching him perform his coins thru the table.
