Just incredible. His timing and rythim are mastered to a levl of perfection we should all strive for. Notice how most magicians today that do this routine (including myself)toss the tissue ball over their head in a more fluid motion. One would think this would be better than being a little stiff like the way Slydini did it, when in actuality it makes more sense. That way there are a number of "frames" that the spectator/helper makes with their eyes and in their mind. All in all this is a superb trick and although not verbally expressed, any audience can really learn a lot about magic through watching this routine. Just fabulous.

Slydini is really the best in misdirection. I do this quite simple trick often in public and it often gives the greatest reactions.
