Book: The Very Best Of Dai Vernon - Magic Tricks

New publication by MAGIC DREAM editions! The first copy of the new Very Best Of collection taken over by Magic Dream, this volume by Dai Vernon is one of the most emblematic there is. Unavailable for many years, here is your chance to complete or start a mythical collection. If micro-magic, and more particularly card magic, has become the rich and subtle art that it undoubtedly is today, it is largely thanks to the talent, the dedication, the genius of one man, and to the universal influence he exerted on generations of magicians who were inspired by his methods and manner. This man is called Dai Vernon. Dai Vernon is undoubtedly a unique case in the history of magic, since he began to take an interest in it at the age of five, which, for more than 50 years, he frequented all the great names in American magic, and that throughout his life he never ceased to simplify, improve, all that these great magicians had shown him, and all that he himself had invented. In this work which is dedicated to his significant contributions in the field of card magic, you will find the famous Vernon touch at the turn of each page, characterized (among other things) by the scrupulous elimination of any suspicious or clumsy gesture or quite simply hard to achieve secretly, and replacing it with a devilishly ingenious subtlety, to achieve an effect that looks like real magic. The effects invented by Dai Vernon have practically all become classics of card magic, so clear and pure are they in their unfolding. None of the routines selected requires neither exceptional skill nor special knowledge; each of them is of an exemplary sobriety and economy of means, rarely achieved by other magicians. Endless variations have been devised from the tricks of the one affectionately known as The Professor, but none of these possess the simplicity or beauty of the original creation. Format: 16.5 × 23.5 cm, 170 pages, French translation by Richard Vollmer. Third edition with a preface by Bernard Bilis (Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde).
