Bill Wisch
Добавлен 5 сен 2006
Bill Wisch is a professional, sleight of hand magician, artist, lecturer, teacher, inventor, manufacturer from 1971 to the present, and Metro-Magic V.I.P. convention producer from 2005 to 2012.
Bill is Tony Slydini's protege. Slydini was one of the two most influential, pure sleight of hand experts and teachers of general magic in the 20th century.
In 1973, Bill began studying with Slydini in New York City. In 1976, Slydini wrote a personal, authorization letter to all magic societies and associations in North America, sponsoring Bill to represent him and take his place introducing, demonstrating and marketing his long awaited, two-volume, book set, "THE BEST OF SLYDINI AND MORE", written by Karl Fulves. Bill Wisch is the only student Slydini ever sponsored to lecture his magic on his behalf.
Bill lectured Slydini's methods and techniques, as well as his own, to thousands of magicians in 74 cities across the US and Canada in 1976 and 1978.

Slydini Protege Bill Wisch interview NJ County Lines circa 1998 International Conservatory of Magic
In this video clip from 1998, I am interviewed on the "County Lines" local NJ television broadcast about "ICOM Online" (The International Conservatory of Magic). Some of you may know that I was the co-creator and co-director of the world's first online magic school. The site has long been gone, but I am happy to share this clip and the footage. I think the effects look great, especially the haunted key!

Today, January 15, 2024 marks the 33rd anniversary of the passing of my friend, teacher and mentor Tony Slydini. I have made it a tradition each year to write a small tribute to him on this day. It always seemed like a very small “thank you” that I could give to him. This year, I thought I would use a video instead and also relay some little known Slydini history. Very few people know that on N...

Since the 1970's, I've loved performing the two routines featured in this video. The first effect is one that I called "Vanishing Dime and Penny" which featured my original method for the seemingly instantaneous vanish of a dime followed by a penny. The second effect I perform is one that was featured in Apocalypse by Harry Lorayne that was inspired by work by Harvey Rosenthal and Ray Grismer. ...

Yeah man, you got it, giving slydini a run, while also a nod!
simply beautiful...
bill thank you!
To zabawna sztuczka ale jak dla mnie ma dość duży minus ze względu że można ją pokazywać tylko w określonych okolicznościach.Dość trudna manualnie jak i psychologicznie. Sam efekt jest.bardzo mocny...
3 tricks in 1, how fun!
You know what he will do and yet you are amazed
I’m astounded. I thought only Slydini could tdo his trick but now I think Bill does it even better
What an incredible compliment, francoislechampi2002. I can't thank you enough for the very, very kind words.
Good !
Thanks! More please…
Love hearing important history recounted by those who were there! Bill, thanks for sharing and keeping the memory of Slydini alive and well! 💌
news paper tear please
😮 legend
👏👏👏
Always a pleasure to watch you perform! Your lecture I attended earlier this year is one of my favorites!
That's so good it's positively spooky
marvelous
😮 a master at work … I know what’s going on, but still baffled 😂
Truly mind blowing trick !!!
He had it up his sleeve!
Beautiful Bill😊💙👏👏👏
Bill did a great lecture at our Magic Club lin September (S.A.M. 35 Al Baker Assembly). He is a great Performer, a great Teacher, and a nice guy. Besides keeping the memory of Slydini's Magic alive he has created and performs many of his own tricks as well. And unlike many who perform Slydini's magic, not once did he say "Watcha--a-dees". LOL
Perfection, as always!
I saw what's going on but it's not really a definitive lesson is it? the placing of the card is very good though.
This is a trailer for a DVD I have for sale. The DVD is currently only available in-person at my lectures. For more information on the DVD, visit: www.billwisch.com/products
Any update on availability to The UK of the Helicopter card trick DVD?
I am obsessed with this trick. I saw Tony do it on dick Cavett and Bill does it so well! Great job. I need to learn this.
In the eighties I saw Andrus at a convention do this change. It was exactly that....startling.
Nicely done. I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with Tony, and he helped me immensely with some of my cigarette routines at that time. But what blew me away the most was his performance of the Helicopter. He was masterful and you're doing him proud.
Just wonderful...love it.
Wonderful performance Bill! Thank you for sharing. 👍
Excellent! I'm SO glad I got to meet you in Illinois last month at your lecture for Conjuror's Corner!
Very nice to see!
Amazing performance Bill!! You do it as good as Slydini 🙂
Tony be proud of you 👏
Love it!
Looks really great! And Bill is an excellent teacher!
Looks slick, I got the book I just can't do the trick without flashing when I turn over after figure.8 page 112
Me gusto, maravilloso, muy bien Bill
phwap! just whipped it out ...I wasn't ready for that. how great do you look Bills a stud... if I could do slight of hand like you and Slydini I could probably meet some chicks.
So good!!
Wonderful Bill!
AMAZING!!! THANKS MR. WISCH!!!
where can i learn this effect?? is very good
Very good Silvers ~!
A treasure!
Fun, perplexing & magical! Always a pleasure to see you work the silks!
Love watching you work Bill! Smooth, professional and just a joy to watch! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you, this is gold
Amazing job brother
Thank you J. McCully for such kind words.
Wonderfully done. Thank you for sharing.
