D. Angelo Ferri
Follow @DAngeloFerriD. Angelo Ferri's aka Dennis Barlotta's interest in magic began with a gift from his father, a set of plastic cups and balls purchased from a novelty shop in Times Square. Years later, after military service, he discovered Tannen’s Magic Shop on Broadway and Al Flosso’s. He was drawn to close-up magic. One day he met a man at Tannen’s. He did a version of Slydini’s Coins Through the Table for Dennis. He suggested Dennis purchase The Magic of Slydini by Lewis Ganson, which he immediately did.
Dennis abandoned everything he had learned about magic and started over. He studied Slydini’s routines for one year, on his own; then sought him out for lessons.
His studio was on 341 West 45th Street in Manhattan; Apartment 111. Dennis remembers being very nervous as he knocked on his door. It swung open and there he was, dressed in a crisp white shirt and a blue tie. Dennis froze. He said “I bet you were expecting a taller man”. That made Dennis relax; a little.
They went into his living room and after a few minutes of small talk he asked Dennis if he could do any of his magic. Dennis told him he did his One Coin Routine. He said: “Really? Show me.” As Dennis worked his way through the routine he saw this look of horror cross his face. Finally he couldn’t take it anymore. He said: “OK that’s enough, let’s start.”
Dennis spent over eight years with him. after a couple of years he stopped charging Dennis for lessons. Being Italian himself, they had many things in common. It was like having a ‘magic grandfather’. Dennis was very lucky.
Dennis' manuscripts represent eight years of private lessons and thirty years of performance experience. They are based upon the thousands of questions Dennis asked him and his careful answers. He told Dennis: “I like you because you understand my magic”. Dennis' goal is to pass on his teaching as precisely as he is able. Dennis' dream is his magic continues to be performed as he intended it to be performed.

Le palle di carta in scatolinaD. Angelo Ferri Questo è il primo miracolo che io abbia mai visto la mia insegnante di eseguire. Sentivo che avevo visto vera magia. Ho iniziato i miei studi con le monete attraverso il tavolo, per poi passare a questo gioco. Uno dei suoi insegnamenti grandi è l'uso degli occhi. Questo è qualcosa Slydini istintivamente compreso e impiegato in tutta la sua magia. Questo gioco insegna l'uso degli occhi e soprattutto convinzione. In ogni lezione che abbiamo mai avuto mi ha sempre detto: "Dovete credere a quello che stai facendo, se lo credono, ma ci crederà". Ho incluso centinaia di fotografie.

Magia con le sigarette di SlydiniD. Angelo Ferri Questo libro include tutti i miei insegnanti di magia con le sigarette. Imparerete a strappare una sigaretta in due e quindi ripristinarlo. Imparerete come prendere una sigaretta dal nulla. Lo studente imparerà: i modelli di temporizzazione Slydini, il concetto di eseguire un meccanico necessaria quando la mente dell'osservatore è mentalmente a riposo, e di sistema Slydini di movimento (il corpo prende la mano). Dato che la magia Slydini si basa su principi guida che non cambiano da gioco a gioco lo studente dovrà anche imparare le discipline che verranno applicate ad altri giochi Slydini.... | 2012 / 5 / 11 | $19.95 Au$28.71 Ca$27.08 €18.05 £15.90 ¥2245.41 | to wish list | ||
il Maestro di MisdirectionD. Angelo Ferri Ho studiato con Slydini per otto anni. Ha organizzato pensiero, movimento, manipolazione mentale, in un sistema di controllo della percezione dell'osservatore. Il mio maestro non ha inventato queste cose. Aveva capito come usarli. Ecco perché la sua magia è diverso. Non ha creato basata su principi accettati. Ha creato sulle leggi della natura umana. Il mio sogno è che la magia del maestro, continua in Italia. I miei nonni arrivarono in America da Napoli, Sicilia e Abruzzo, nel 1910. Sono nato nel 1949. La mia prima lingua era napoletano. Non ho mai parlato in italiano.

Di Carini Investigations: The San Francisco Files 1935-1944D. Angelo Ferri Many years ago at one of the first Tannen's Magic Conventions the author attended he met Walter Gibson. He knew many of the great magicians of the 30's and 40's personally including Harry Blackstone Sr. and he had a series of Detective Comic Books. He wrote books about magic and he created the masked crime fighter: The Shadow. D. Angelo Ferri used to listen to The Shadow on the radio when he was a kid. He also watched a lot of early TV shows inspired by those old radio programs, TV shows like Racket Squad, Dragnet, The Untouchables, and The Naked City.

Coin Magic (Barlotta)D. Angelo Ferri Barlotta's Coin Magic manuscript features his variation of Slydini's "Four Coins through the Table". He has eliminated the 'mid air Hang Ping Chen' movement and replaced it with a Slydini variation he sometimes employed. Dennis' objective was to give magicians interested in doing Slydini's "Four Coins" a method that is easier to do and is still completely constructed of Slydini technique. This manuscript also includes Slydini's "Vanishing Stack of coins", which he sometimes performed at the end of his coin routine, and Barlotta's "Six Coins under the Shaker Club", the idea for which he got while... | 2008 / 11 / 3 | $14.95 Au$21.51 Ca$20.29 €13.52 £11.91 ¥1682.65 | to wish list | ||
Bar MagicD. Angelo Ferri Dennis writes:
I worked as a "Magic Bartender" for several years, tricks have to be simple, entertaining, and ideally employ common objects. Occasionally I'd sit at a customers table which gave me the opportunity to perform 'The Glass Through the Table' and my 'Hat Load'. Slydini taught me the 'Glass Trick'. He uses sound to control the perception of the spectator, The Hat Load begins with a coin trick based upon Don Alan's Hat Load but my mechanics for loading the hat are based upon Slydini's System of movement. My Copper and Silver Transposition employs a slightly modified version of John... | 2008 / 10 / 26 | $14.95 Au$21.51 Ca$20.29 €13.52 £11.91 ¥1682.65 | to wish list | ||
Don Alan TributeD. Angelo Ferri Dennis Barlotta's Tribute to Don Alan includes a re-working of three routines; The Chop Cup, The Benson Bowl, and 'Bag Stabbed' a card stab.
Dennis writes: I am a very big Don Alan fan. This manuscript represents my investigation into applying Slydini's principles to these great Don Alan presentations. My Chop Cup routine follows the Don Alan Routine in terms of sequence of events but I accomplish those events using Slydini's system of movement, his Revolve Vanish, and his Timing Patterns. The timing patterns are what accomplish the two final loads of the Chop Cup. | 2008 / 10 / 19 | $14.95 Au$21.51 Ca$20.29 €13.52 £11.91 ¥1682.65 | to wish list | ||
Slydini's Production SilksD. Angelo Ferri Slydini used to open his stage act with this routine.
Slydini's Production Silks is a routine he cared deeply about. This is an opening stage effect. (He used to say: "If you wait too long the silks will get stale".) The magician shows his hands empty then picks up a silk from the seat of a chair. The silk is displayed and placed on the back of the chair. The magician reaches into the air and produces a second silk, which is also placed on the back of the chair. Two more silks are produced from the air and then all four silks are picked up. These silks multiply into a beautiful 'fountain... | 2008 / 10 / 19 | $19.95 Au$28.71 Ca$27.08 €18.05 £15.90 ¥2245.41 | to wish list | ||
The Master of MisdirectionD. Angelo FerriI believe that Dennis Barlotta will soon be known as the foremost teacher of Slydini's system of misdirection. There have been others before that have tried to explain and teach Slydini routines, but nobody could capture the essence of what made Slydini the master of misdirection the way Barlotta has been able to.
Dennis has studied eight years under Slydini and has spent a lifetime mastering the Slydini method. Dennis told me: "While many magicians admire Slydini, they don't understand what made him unique or how his approach can be employed by them."

Paper Balls in the BoxD. Angelo FerriDennis writes:
Slydini's Paper Balls in the Box is the first miracle I ever saw my teacher perform. His performance compelled me to give up everything I knew about magic and seek him out for lessons.

Slydini's Linking PinsD. Angelo Ferri I have studied a linking pin routine myself many years ago. It wasn't this Slydini routine, but the effect is very strong because safety-pins are familiar to everyone. And if you can do something magical with a common object then you have a miracle at your hands. Now you can learn a routine which the master of misdirection devised himself.

Slydini's Linking RingsD. Angelo Ferri Slydini's Linking Ring Routine is a show stopper. Layman love it and magicians schooled in the Linking Rings are puzzled by it. It is everything a stage routine should be, entertaining and mystifying. This 91 page manuscript includes over 100 instructional photos and careful descriptions of each phase of the routine. Slydini's Rings are not 'quiet'. This is a classic conception. The rings are linked and then all the rings are handed out for inspection. An impromptu assistant is invited on stage and a very entertaining interaction between the magician and his impromptu assistant takes place.

Slydini's Cigarette MagicD. Angelo Ferri In Dennis' own words:
My manuscript on Slydini's Cigarette Magic teaches all of his major cigarette routines including his Cigarette Fantasy; a production of un-lit cigarettes performed to music. With the exception of his 'Torn & Restored Lit Cigarette', all of the routines employ un-lit filter less cigarettes. (Either Lucky Strikes or Camels are recommended.) | 2008 / 9 / 30 | $19.95 Au$28.71 Ca$27.08 €18.05 £15.90 ¥2245.41 | to wish list | ||
Cigar MagicD. Angelo Ferri Dennis writes:
Cigar Magic is the result of my investigation into the Cigar From The Purse Routine generally associated with Nate Leipzig (but originally created by G.W. Hunter). I explored different methods including the use of a 'holdout'; which is described in the text. (I finally settled on a routine that does not employ a hold out.) My routine offers a different take on the switch out of the gimmick purse, a new handling of the change over move, producing a second cigar from the purse, and the continuous cigar production that concludes with a production of a bigger cigar. Being a cigar smoker myself;... | 2008 / 9 / 30 | $19.95 Au$28.71 Ca$27.08 €18.05 £15.90 ¥2245.41 | to wish list | ||
The Button Biting TrickD. Angelo Ferri An unusual effect that is introduced in the manuscript with a cartoon drawn by Chauncey Pierce. Dennis in his own words:
The Button Biting Trick is something I rarely see performed by other magician's, I have enjoyed and benefited form this routine for many years. It is a great way to let people know you are a magician. My original investigations of the routine led me to Malini and Scarne. I have developed my own method to make the effect more 'mentally acceptable' to the spectator. My grandfather was a tailor; buttons are not easily bitten off a coat. The trick rises and falls upon the spectator believing... | 2008 / 9 / 30 | $9.95 Au$14.32 Ca$13.51 €9.00 £7.93 ¥1119.89 | to wish list |
