Today, September 1, would have been Slydini's 126th birthday.
To mark Tony's birthday, my father is sharing a brief moment from a private lesson on Paper Balls to the Box recorded on April 18, 1974.
Tony said to him: "But, yeah, you do better than anybody."
This 24-second excerpt is just one of many candid moments preserved in The Slydini Tapes, Volume 1.

Yesterday, my father shared a 24-second audio clip from an April 1974 lesson where he and Tony were working on Paper Balls in the Box.
Today, he wanted to share the other side of that story.
This video is his complete performance of Paper Balls in the Box from a detailed instructional lesson he filmed recently: "Bill Wisch's Definitive Lesson on Slydini's Paper Balls in the Box."
The full video lesson breaks down every subtle timing detail, lap-work movement, and misdirection cue required for the routine.
Both this full video lesson and 2 hours of his 1974 private lesson audio recordings with Tony are included in the upcoming The Slydini Tapes, Volume 1.
I hope you enjoy the performance!
