- I found that the versions of this video currently on CZcams did not have very good quality, and this one looks better, so I decided to share. Besides, the legend deserves to be viewed in HQ.

He booked this wonderful magician simply to preserve for future generations to enjoy. Dick Cavett really understood the importance of archives
This is one of the great preservations for the archives from the 20th century. We owe a debt to Dick Cavett's foresight in recording and preserving this legendary magician for those of us in the 21st century who were not around to see him when he was alive.
Something very soothing about his performances
Hoping not to sound too corny, but he's truly "a magician"; where DECADES of technique render a trick so amazing, even if you learn "how" he did it, you couldn't reproduce it any time soon.
He's an unintentional ASMRtist.
@Kayson Magnus definitely don't give a damn
As a kid back in the late 70s early 80s, my magician/idol Slydini magically appears walking down the street at our grade school street festival Bleecker/Carmine Little Italy, New York city. One of those memories as fresh as if it was yesterday.
A gentleman in real life as well.
Nice.
The concept of the tricks are simple, but the way he change the performance is just unbelievable. I believe no one would be able to recreate slydini's style of performance. Unbelievable :)
Love it, he's so fast the audience can barely keep up with him, the real magic is that he was pulling this off on live TV at his age, incredible.
Yeah that's the brilliance of it, he's so fast, but it appears as though he is doing everything very slowly
RIP Bob Carver, inventor of the Professor’s Nightmare which Slydini performed so beautifully here. I miss your friendship and our long talks about magic.
This is really a jewel! One of the greatest magicians ever doing part of his repertoire. Unbelievable!!
Much better quality than the other ones... thank you for posting!
That's how you make adults look like kids again. Amazing unparalleled talent!
What a master performer... so elegant, so smooth, and funny... And he never read a book of magic in his life?!!! That's what I'd call a prodigy or genius of magic.
Thank you for posting this video. His routine was completely flawless.
Great legend, it would be great to see him live. Thanks for posting a better quality video.
Best ever rope trickery. Hankerchiefs so smooth. I really love Slydini. Do you know what the date of this is? He was born in 1901 so I'm wondering how old he is here. Thanks very much for the upload. :) Edit: Just seen the credits - 1977. That means Slydini was 76 years old here. Amazing.
Slydini, Larry Jennings, and Ricky Jay. My top three favorite card magicians. This is a treat.
"..... Watch her disappear as quickly as she came....."
The times they sure have changed.
LOL
Smooth and astonishing
I think his voice/accent also keeps one captivated
This is like the perfect blend of magic and humor😂
His hands are very fast and provide fantastic energy.
I always end up coming back watching this. I literally watched it last night too lol. So smooth with it
Old school magic, love it
You, sir, are awsome. Thank you :)
I thought I caught him at 08:18 of course it was a Mcguffin,dudes a legend.
Red herring
This was the best presentation of the classic restored rope I have ever seen
Tqvm Bananaman. What a smooth and relaxing to watch the Great Tony Slydini in action.
Slydini is fantastic to watch but the voice of Dick Cavett is beautiful to listen to.
I had an opportunity of meeting and sitting through a magic lecture with Slydini in 1976 in Miami ,FL. ( Ring #45 I.B.M. past Member) Amazing man, lecturer, mentor to many magicians. I still proudly own a pair of Slydini handkerchiefs. ( as used in the video) So cool to find a memory and performance here on CZcams. 🪄 👍🏼
Oh man, that’s incredible! Both Slydini and especially Dai Vernon are favorites of mine.
Mesmerizing presentation. Truly insane talent
Amazing. So amazing!!
Wonderful Masterpiece ❤️
Back in the 70s there used to be a slight of hand Magician who would do his magic starting at midnight in the lobby at Caesar’s Palace Las Vegas.
Genius at work.
Brings a tear to my eye
I was privileged to take personal magic lessons with Slydini in Nyc
What a great performance!
I could watch this man all day.
An absolute masterclass in magic
In spring 1976 I saw a magician perform the newspaper trick. I was sitting at the extreme right, and I could see the torn-up pages that he was concealing within the newspaper. He was very good, but not nearly as good as Slydini.
This is just beautiful.
This video has such a chill and peaceful vibe and I've loved watching this since i was a little anyone know the name of the song played during slydinis performance??
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes opens at 1:45.
At 25:00 song is Paper Doll by the Mills Brothers
Lennart Green and the late Ricky Jay were also favorites of mine.
Classic!
One of the greatest magician
Watched this 200 times. Still dont know how he does everything.
He dumps everything in his lap and grabs from there. Sorry to ruin the magic. This was a very rudimentary style back then that ppl didn’t expect
@@RickmoZamms really now?
The Funk yes.
How does he make the cigarette after he tears it then?
@@reecechaplincartoons1506 grabs a 2nd one from his lap and hides it in his hand
Cavett, magician
Nicely done ᵔᴥᵔ ★★★★★
Katalyzt
Thanks.
Love the way he waits till the video ends to bust out the cards for god sake. I wanna see a card trick mannn. The first slight I ever Learned was the slydini colour change
am i the only one who's just impressed by his method to evenly tear news papers?
For people who didn't grow up with newspapers, they have a vertical "grain"; the fibers ran vertically, so they were very easy to rip (and a good crease helped too). Ripping them horizontally was a disaster if you wanted to keep a straight edge 😂
@@EmpyreanLightASMR I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
I could watch this video 8000 more times and never understand the handkerchiefs.
Slydini is my idol
Can anyone explain his newspaper trick ?
I love Slydini
Watching 11:44 over and over. Still can’t see the coin disappear.
Handkerchiefs are amazing
The coin vanish at 11:40 is simply astonishing.
"Endtroducing..."
The word genius gets used too often in our industry as magicians…but this man was a true genius.
Side note: I quit smoking 🚬 cold turkey 2 months ago and am badly craving a cigarette 😂 Time to practice 🪄
Mark Twain said quitting smoking is very easy - he did it over a hundred times !
Ao assistir a habilidade e talento de Slydini e outros talentosos magicos do passado, lamentamos o que vemos hoje na Internet: varios individuos ensinando o segredo de numeros classicos de magica. Ensinar o segredo e destruir o encanto. So para aparecerem e atrair assinaturas estao acabando com uma arte. Quem quer ser magico compra videos, livros, frequenta escolas, associacoes de ilusionistas e treina muito, sempre guardando o segredo. Todos tem acesso ao you tube e outras plataformas e todos acabam conhecendo o segredo, entao vao fazer para quem a magica e quem vai admirar um numero se ja sabe o segredo? Nenhum deles, no entanto sera um magico como Sydini e outros que tinham verdadeiro talento e habilidade. Destruiram a arte. Esses videos nos fazem lembrar do tempo em que a magica sinda encantava! Muito bom!

Yes magic mystifies, but this guy made you enjoy getting fooled... He is a legend
12:34
GREAT VIDEO ! SUNDAY 2/12/23 FEBRUARY 12, 2023
I didn't understand the ending of the rope trick. I thought it was supposed to be restored back to a single full rope, but he kept talking and it stayed in three pieces, which he then threw away. I felt like I missed something there. Everything else was amazing.
anyone notice the person under the table tugging on his sleeve at 7:00 mins?
What music is this?
Bananaman, me want a ton
Give me double and a bonus one
Hey pal, you got a cigarette? Funny you should ask!
howdeedodat
I don't like Slydini hands going below the table, it's always fishy.
Now it’s done with vape pens
A Master Class 101!!! Your watching Art!!
Uh, the Chub Corporation? We gonna ignore that? They def changed that name
Understand that when he performed the trick with the lady. He had the tobacco in his hand. You can see him glancing at his lap. Finding a cigarette. There is non. Then he uses the distraction of the cigarette box saying there isnt one in there. But he snags one for the rest of the trick.
My life is great😂
he's a legend, shame that the camera catches so much of everything.
He’s pretty sly
This would really be impressive with a glass table and no cloth to cover whats going underneath
This is interesting; Tommy Wonder's entire on-stage persona he got right here. Even the little "hup"s that he does when the coins move. But Tommy Wonder is way better. I can see this guy drop the coin into his lap.
Be fair. In Slydini's day they didn't have mirrors to practise in front of.
Actually, Slydini did change magic just as Miles Davis changed music. I bought his book (by Lewis Ganson) in 1966 and it was a game changer.
idiot, mirrors are hundreds of years Old
Lol Tommy wonder was not better than Slydini. He's frigging 76 here ffs!
By modern standards, honestly kind of unimpressive, often boring.
Typical young person thing to say, lacking the perspective to understand the farther you go back the fewer points of reference you have. You've got to start somewhere and you've got to build off of something.
Everyone must die once. Then they are judged.
Hebrews 9:27 ERV
But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and by this God showed how much he loves us.
Romans 5:8 ERV
Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.
John 3:16 ERV
Change your hearts and lives and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ. Then God will forgive your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38 ERV
Jesus answered, "Believe me when I say that everyone must be born from water and the Spirit. Anyone who is not born from water and the Spirit cannot enter God's kingdom.
John 3:5 ERV
The true children of God are those who let God's Spirit lead them.
Romans 8:14 ERV
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But those who do not obey the Son will never have that life. They cannot get away from God's anger.
John 3:36 ERV
If you think you can fool God, you are only fooling yourselves. You will harvest what you plant.
Galatians 6:7 ERV
If we decide to continue sinning after we have learned the truth, then there is no other sacrifice that will take away sins.
Hebrews 10:26 ERV
You can enter true life only through the narrow gate. The gate to hell is very wide, and there is plenty of room on the road that leads there. Many people go that way. But the gate that opens the way to true life is narrow. And the road that leads there is hard to follow. Only a few people find it.
Matthew 7:13-14 ERV
No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.
1 Corinthians 2:9 ERV
God Dick Cavett is the WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why?
@@thasdavin8134 He has this way of trying to be cool with the guests that is completely fake. You know during the '70s, there were cool people, and then there were all the square people who were trying hard to fit in with the cool ones. Dick Cavett is the absolute worst example of the latter.
@@greg55666 Disagree. He's overly verbose, but I say he's earnest about who and what he likes. He's no worse than any other person who introduces someone they clearly like and revere. And even if you dislike him, can you deny the quality and variety of his guests? He puts other hosts to shame.
This is so borinbg.
