Slydini Encores (1966) by Dr. Leon Nathanson is a detailed, 157-page continuation of Tony Slydini's legendary close-up instruction, designed as an essential companion volume to The Magic of Slydini. Packed with 199 step-by-step action photographs, the book systematically breaks down two of Slydini’s signature foundational mechanics—the "Imp-Pass" and the "Revolve-Vanish"—before diving into full, highly sophisticated routines using everyday items. Across its pages, Nathanson documents Slydini’s precise choreography for classic close-up miracles, including single-coin handlings, multi-phase coin penetrations, cigarette vanishes and transformations, sponge ball routines, and his distinct handling of the "Professor's Nightmare" rope trick.
This book offers an unrivaled look into the physical dynamics and psychological misdirection of one of close-up magic’s greatest masters, teaching not just how a trick works, but how body posture, gaze, and micro-timing transform simple sleights into pure wizardry.
