- This video is my heart felt tribute to two extraordinary human brings I had the privilege to meet and know.
Slydini and Jim Cellini were two of the greatest magicians I have ever known.

Thanks - Zábava
You're such a generous giving soul and as much of a master as your mentors. You honor them with your heart and art. Thanks for sharing both, sir.
Hi Michael,
I watched the last few minutes of this video with a big smile on my face and tears in my eyes.
Thank you.
We were there Steve, we saw Jimmy in Covent Garden - I have the photo I will send you.
@@MichaelVincentMagic Thanks., that would be great. I'd really appreciate that. I only have a little black and white copy in your 'Tapestry of Deception'.
I can only hope you understand just how important the sharing and archiving you are doing here is...thank you.
that was really heart felt and touching michael. Not only do you have amazing chops but you got an amazing soul brother. thank you for sharing, life does go on. thanks michael.
That was Beautiful. The keyboard is blurry at the time of writing this. It's OK to cry.
Rene Cusson it’s ok to fumble my words out of heartfelt love🙏🏽
Michael, you've single-handedly turned me onto so many greats. Over the past year, I've added 7 new books to my library, all of which I treasure. Your description of Jimmy sounds a little like my impression of you. You certainly have those qualities, apart from your magic, that are friendly, affable, and engaging. You're obviously NOT some unknown kid from London anymore. If you'll pardon me, I have another book to order. 😉
Thanks Ronald. You will enjoy Eileen’s Book.
Thanks for that,Cellini my dad
Hi Steven. Your Dad was my best friend.x
Aside from the video which I haven't watched yet, I just want you to know that I find you to be one QUALITY human being Michael. Just felt like letting you know, hope you have a wonderful day.
Kassadyn that’s very kind of you sir. Thank you so much. Keep well 🙏🏽
It's been 3 weeks, I hope all is well. I think selfishly I have become accustomed to your weekly videos with a topical life lesson in the beginning and a magic trick at the end as a bonus. One of a kind my friend.
I hope someday to meet you. You really exude the same kind of warmth as your friend Mr. Cellini and you are very fine magician and I always enjoy seeing your work. All the best.
Thank you Mike it so great to hear about the true master.and more to hear you passion and love for our craft
Glad to have you back!!!✊🏾
Great talk Michael. Would listen to loads more of this
A superb recollection of someone who clearly touched your heart. Fond memories I'm sure. I recall meeting YOU and how excited I was when I found you were going to be performing and you didn't disappoint. You really are one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Thank you.
Thank you Will 🙏🏽
Hi Michael. I’m new to your channel and found this video quite by accident as I was studying more of the great Slydini’s performances. A beautiful tribute. The first REAL Magic I ever saw was his performance on the Dick Cavett show and I was completely taken. I was about sixteen at the time, and started to learn his magic, studying his book “Slydini Encores,” recommended to me by a member of Boston’s IBM Ring 122 at the time. Later I picked up The Magic of Slydini and dove into that to the degree to which I could grasp it. I had no idea then that one could potentially become a student of this incredible man, but no one ever provided that guidance. It wasn’t until recently that I found Aaron Fisher (and his Conjurer Community); never had an actual coach/teacher until this came along. With his team’s encouragement I dove back into this material, picking up more texts and “As I Recall” in which (as I’m sure you know, Jim Cellini does a beautiful job teaching some of the master’s iconic material. I’ve been at it now for a couple of years and have actually performed Coins Through Table and Sponge Ball routine with some very good success which thrills me to no end. I’m fortunate too that there are a few members of Conjurer Community who were also students of Slydini and they’ve been incredibly supportive in my pursuit. As a part-time performer, I’m mostly an avid hobbyist.
So glad I found you here. I enjoy your magic immensely and hope someday we might connect. Thank you for this wonderful tribute to your friends and mentors. Very inspiring.
Beautiful tribute, Michael! You've done your mentors proud, not only in this heartfelt offering, but in everything you do. Elegance, dignity, devotion- all to offer the gift of wonder to anyone who has the pleasure and privilege of watching your miracles. Thank you.
Mike Elizalde so lovely to hear from you Mike. Thank you for your kind words. 🙏🏽
Love these stories. Must have been an amazing experience meeting some of these people.
Michael, here's Jimmy in New Orelans, 1985. This was how he was dressed in New York City in '82 when you met him. He owned the street!🪄
Wow, what an awesome story. I also love Slydini. I personally think that Tommy Wonder, Slydini, Fred Kapps, David Roth and Dai Vernon were the best magicians of my era. Special mention for Dean Dill and Paul Harris. Thanks for sharing.
I forgot about Cardini and Jon Tremaine.
Very beautiful tribute to your friends!
Michael I love your CZcams videos, so much passion for magic and life superb
Thank you for continuing these videos! I also need to thank you for being the final trigger for me to learn card magic. I watched many shows of many magicians but it was your performances that gave me the last "Yep, I want to do it like him" that made me start buying a deck of cards and learning things. You are so elegant, your sleight of hand is impeccable, the stories you tell drags you away from whatever the card trick is, being put in a state of pure "wow" after your final moves. I watched all your vids, I know you looked/look up to all your heroes in magic and now its you being looked up to. Thank you, Mr Vincent. Best greetings from Germany! Looking forward to anything you will post!
S. Goldstein thank you sir. I delighted you hear my work has had such a positive impact on you. Good luck, reach out to me if you need any further support. 👍🏽
@@MichaelVincentMagic Receiving your reply made me even more happy. Thank you very much for your benevolent offer Mr Vincent!
I don't get it...why the dislikes? Even if you're not ok with what he says, he is one the most elegant and charming magicians, you can't not love him
Eileen McFalls is a friend and I have read the book. I recall Michael Vincent being mentioned a few times in the book attempting to master a particular card trick. Her book brought back a lot of Nostalgia because street performers in New York City during that time period were an intricate part New York Cit's rhythm. She opened a door to a whole new world for me because I knew virtually nothing about magic as a great art form. No Ordinary Magic by Eilleen is about Love, Freedom and the Power to Create your life. And now I know about you Michael Vincent. I will be watching all your videos to learn more about magic.
Sage Chioma wow....what a connection. How on earth did you find this video out of the billions on CZcams Sage? This is incredible. I do agree with you about Eileen and the book. Thank you for your kind words.
@@MichaelVincentMagic Eileen directed me to this video. I am glad she did. I too was moved to tears. I am grateful she understood the significance of Jim and Celini passing down the art form of magic. You mastered what they taught you. This is amazing because her book appeals largely to a specific audience and you are a doorway to that audience. The history of two modern day magicians is well documented in No Ordinary Magic. However, those of us who love to love will be pleased that the story is told through the innocence of a young woman in love.
Sage Chioma I really feel how much Eileen loved Jim. We all did, he had charisma so magical you couldn’t help but fall in love with him. Sage, trust me when I say this, my world is so empty now because all my friends have died. The friends I knew have all passed on. I had to reinvent myself to continue he in this life. I am so grateful to Eileen because her book brought back memories from a magical period in my life. Thank you for sharing. X
@@MichaelVincentMagic WOW
Thank you Michael! 1978 was a wonderful year! I remember the SAM Golden Anniversary Convention at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel honoring Dai Vernon. My best friend in magic at the time - Charles Greene III - and I slept in the Grand Ballroom as we missed the last bus back to New Jersey! It was a who's who lineup with Harry Lorayne, Johnny Thompson, a younger David Roth and Darwin Ortiz :) , Doug Henning was also there. Magical!!
Wonderful Michael......I'd like to see you live one day
I come for the magic and stay for the talks. Honestly, who in any craft honors and pays more respect to his mentors than Michael Vincent? If these great men (living and gone) all congregated in a room and the name Michael Vincent was brought up today you just know it’d be greeted with swells of pride and smiles.
Michael, so nice to have you back. What a tremendous privilege you had in knowing Slydini and Cellini. The energy in your voice, and the experiences you shared, i understand why they deserve to be called legends in the art. Thank you and come back soon.
Thank you Michael for this !
Wow,this is what makes it worth doing.
Just wow. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your stories with Cellini!
Good to see you back; hope you enjoyed your time off. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful stories
Very glad to see you. What an awesome story Mike. Really enjoy seeing you put your heart into the stories. Thank you for sharing. I fill privileged to hear them
Beautiful stories. I will definitely check out the book. Thank you, Michael.
I was expecting a routine inspired by the two greats, but this video actually turned out to be more engaging and emotional than any flawlessly performed routine. I've never met the two gentlemen but I know them through their words (and more recently, videos). What an amazing, heartfelt tribute!
Thank you Michael, great story and endorsement of Eileen's book. It is wonderful. Our stories seem very similar and I also feel very blessed to have known Jim as a mentor and friend. Hope to meet you someday!
Mr. Vincent, you are my favorite magician I've seen since i saw you on Fool Us. I was wondering how one would get an interview with you for my podcast. What is the best way of contacting you? Thank you.
Geekdom101 send me a message through my website
Great stories! Thanks Michael. I had a coffee story w Slydini and also knew JC... What a character! will check out that book.
Hi Peter,
A few weeks back Michael mentioned that after seeing an effect one of his mentors showed him he was not shown how it was done.
The same thing happened to me at a Dallas magic club meeting many years ago. I watched you perform a card effect and asked how it was done. You were polite but firm in your response to me. You looked at me and said, "It's not mine to give away".
You told me where you had found the effect and who the originator was. The unspoken message was to put the work in on my own. I never forgot that.
Thank you. You were right. And that, in the words of Robert Frost, "has made all the difference".
Love your work, big inspiration 👊
This cool),bro!
Well done.
Lovely sir, when may we expect your next video?
Could we also expect to see another appearance by you on Fool Us?
Regards
Hi Ron. New videos being prepared. As for Fool Us, I will boy appear on that show again.
@@MichaelVincentMagic Thank you very much sir. And yes, Fool Us is a great show but your class and raw talent are better suited to a more niche audience. Thanks again.
wow 👀
❤❤❤❤
Hi Michael! I really enjoy your videos about the older books and magicians. I own alot of older books as well. From Bill Simon to Harry Lorayne to Carl Fulves and Annemann, Charles Jordan and the list goes on. What are your thoughts on John Bannon? I find his work remarkable. Subtle methods and devastating effects. Would love to see your spin on some of his work.
Hi Michael! I really enjoy your videos about the older books and magicians. I couldn’t agree more that all the material from the past is remarkable. I own alot of older books as well ranging from Bill Simon to Harry Lorayne to Carl Fulves and Annamenn,Charles Jordan and the list goes on. What are your thoughts on more recent card men? Particularly John Bannon? I would love to see you perform some of his material. I find his work just fascinating. Subtle methods yet devastating effects. What are your thoughts?
You come across as a really nice guy
Hello Michael. I was just wanting to reach out to you. I was wondering how you are doing? Not rushing you on your next video or anything like that, I just wanted to touch base with you to check in. Hope you are safe and all is well. Look forward to hearing from you.
like you☺️
So tell me about him, His real name was Richard Sullivan
