Magic download (ebook) by Stephen Minch, Dai Vernon and L&L Publishing (45.00)

Unlike the previous volume, this one is composed almost entirely of effects. Any tips on technique found in this volume are taught as part of effects rather than having their own section as in the previous book.

Like the previous volume and the one that followed, this book is filled with candid photographs of The Professor at work and play. You will feel as if you are sitting with Dai at the Magic Castle while he shares the stories and experiences of his lifetime.

Originally published in 1988, this text is now available as a convenient eBook for the first time ever! It includes over 50 Vernon routines, 27 historical photographs and 177 illustrations across 245 pages.
