Misdirection is an "Act" by Bill Wisch
Original Publication Date: September 1997 Note from Bill Wisch: I wrote the below in 1997 and I still agree with much of what is written....
From 1997 to 2005, I was the co-founder of The International Conservatory of Magic (ICOM). One of my additions to the site was "Slydini - The Legacy"; a series of thirty-four monthly articles from September, 1997 to December 2000.
Now, 22 years later, I am opening them up to the broader magic community. Over the coming months, I will be posting selected installments for you to read. As Slydini's only officially authorized student to lecture or teach his magic, I am excited and thrilled to bring this to the magic audience. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
In magic,
Bill
