All,
This past summer, in August 2009, my father Bill Wisch made his first appearance at the Magic Castle in 23 years. He's based out of NJ, my hometown, but since I recently moved out of the nest, I wanted him to come and visit the West Coast. (I'm based out of Silicon Valley). He created this act for his return to the Castle and it contains sleights and effects that are 95% original. I took the videos that are posted. If you haven't seen these videos, please check them out. Two links follow: 1) http://www.billwisch.com/id16.html A link to the page where you can see the videos embedded into his official website. 2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeDTnHGWEcU A link to the videos on youtube. I think the magic speaks for itself. To say that I'm the proud son of Slydini's protege is an understatement. All my best, Kevin Wisch, MA, MBA Marketing Manager, Intel Corporation http://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinwisch |

Truly delightful. And the first time I've ever enjoyed the knot routine (including the tapes I've seen of Slydini)! What a pleasant personality and excellent technique. Thanks for posting that.

Kevin,
I have a set of your dad's lecture notes from far away and long ago. I remember being completely fooled all those years ago. Thank you so much for posting the clips of your father. I got to be fooled all over again. It was truly wonderful to see him again. KG |

Kevin -
Like Kent, I also saw your fathers's first lecture tour...and I have a set of his original "Princess Cards", though sadly they have deteriorated after all this time. He's still got the chops! Cheers!
