Slydini, The Master of Misdirection
Tony Slydini (1901-1991)
Tony Slydini was born Quintino Marucci. Best known as a master of close-up artistry, he served as inspiration to a generation of magicians, including Doug Henning. Slydini's magic was impromptu: rather than follow a set sequence of tricks, he allowed his audience and the situation to dictate his show. Reportedly, Dick Cavett once asked Dai Vernon who could still fool him. His answer: "Nobody but Slydini".
