Slydini’s Torn & Restored Newspaper. Tony Slydini. ca. 1950s
Tony Slydini’s celebrated Torn and Restored Newspaper routine, one of the master’s signature effects. A newspaper is openly displayed on both sides, torn repeatedly into small pieces, then instantly restored in a dramatic finish. The routine supplied here utilizes Slydini’s mechanical handling, allowing the newspaper to be shown on both sides before and after each tear while remaining practical for performance.
Included are the original brown titled envelope, the original five-page set of yellow mimeographed instruction sheets detailing the preparation and handling, and a prepared newspaper for performance. The envelope bears the original $2.00 selling price on the front.
Envelope exhibits moderate wear, creasing, edge tears, and age toning consistent with use. Instruction sheets remain clean and legible. Prepared newspaper shows expected handling wear from age and storage. Good to very good condition overall.
