You can buy the Slydini books in which it is described, and also watch Slydini do it on YouTube on the Dick Cavett show. You don't need more than that.

Great! Thank you.

I believe that I have added great improvements to this standard routine. A far better climax for a start.

Yeah, but the man is so bloody good he still gets the move past you!

Only if you are sitting with him or watching him in person. The trouble with You Tube is that people will watch it over and over again until they catch it. And it ain't difficult to catch it when you do that. Even if a video doesn't expose the secret deliberately it still happens whether we like it or not. And I don't like it.

The trick is designed to be done for the person sitting at the table with Slydini, though it will certainly fool any lay people watching a video.
I might add that the best way to read the Fulves Slydini books is the e-versions by lybrary.com, in which the photos have been fully integrated with the text! And it's only $30! https://www.lybrary.com/the-best-of-sly ... 87309.html

It will fool a lay person watching a video the first time they view it. Maybe a second time but I am still not sure. A third time they WILL spot it. It is very brazen and pretty obvious. Read the comments underneath and it will be seen that I am correct. I think whoever manages those videos should delete the exposing comments.
