Slydini: A study in misdirection
March 20th, 2008 Posted in Magicians You Have To Know
I believe this video is the best and the most relevant to study if you want to know what misdirection is. Yes, it’s an old video with an old magician. Don’t be stupid, click and watch.
Right NOW you can study a genuine master magician. His name is Slydini.
Remember the 5 basic principles of misdirection? Eyes follow movements, Hide one movement with another, Ask people questions, Keep them occupied and Make them laugh.
Can you find the kind of misdirection Slydini uses in his “Paper ball over head”-trick – now that I told you how?
