Long unavailable, Lewis Ganson's The Magic of Slydini is, perhaps, one of the
most influential magic books ever. Many of its routines have now become classics
in magic, including Flight of the Paper Balls, Helicopter Card, Coins Through
The Table, Slydini's Knotted Silks, The Paper Balls In The Hat and others. In
many ways, these routines have all become standard phrases in the language of
magic - and they all started with this book.
In this brand new edition, Slydini has some additional things to say about
his creations. Some time ago, Dr. Gene Matsuura went through the text of Ganson's
book with Tony Slydini and took careful notes as Slydini made valuable additions
and observations based on his experience with the material after the book's
initial publication.
The Annotated Magic of Slydini presents every word of Lewis Ganson's original
text, printed in black, along with Slydini's additions and corrections, printed
in blue, making this an invaluable and essential work even for those who own
the original book.
The Annotated Magic of Slydini is printed on the highest quality enamel paper.
All 450 photos have been repositioned to correspond directly with the text and
have been rescreened for optimum reproduction, including a half-dozen new photos
not seen in the original.
Hardbound with matching endsheets, foil-stamped cloth cover, striking full-color
dustjacket.
