hardbound, Book measures 6.25 x 9.5 inches, 366
pages,
Dai Vernon: the last great undiscovered artist of
the 20th century.
His medium was magic and with it, Vernon turned the
clandestine world of conjuring
on its ear with virtuoso sleight-of-hand and a
dogged pursuit for perfection.
Born in 1894 in Ottawa, the son of a Canadian civil
servant, Vernon moved to New
York - Manhattan - in 1915, and never looked back.
Miracles flowed from his fingertips - effortlessly.
The source of his secrets? The
underworld and the gamblers,
hustlers and con-men that roamed back-room dens of
iniquity, bunked in jail cells
and walked the streets of America.
Vernon sought them out, befriended them, and made
their work, their covert
methods, his. This book, the first in-depth
examination of Vernon's life, traces the first half
of his remarkable journey - through
Ottawa, Coney Island, Chicago,
Manhattan, Kansas City and Colorado Springs - and
the celebrities - Houdini, Billy
Rose, and Roosevelt, that Vernon
encountered along the way.
Dai Vernon: A Biography also details the evolution
of magic in the 20th century.
From the stages of London and Paris to the back
rooms of magic emporiums where secrets were bought
and sold, Vernon's life and work escort the reader
through vaudeville, Broadway theaters, grand magic
spectaculars, New York
nightspots and the dawn of television.
Here, cornerstones of the craft have finally been
laid bare for all to see.
Hardbound with over 40 rare photographs
and a full-color dust jacket.

| Silks Supreme
B261-1478
NOW $3.00 |
|
by Keith Clark |
When it comes to routining magic, few have
ever done it better than Keith Clark. Silks Supreme is no
exception. Clark transforms the classic Sympathetic Silks
plot into an eight-phase masterpiece that will delight any
audience.
Here's what the audience sees...
The magician, after lighting his cigarette
with a paper “book” match, studies the match for a brief
moment -- then, carelessly flicking the match away, a yard
square silk appears at his fingertips! Surprised, he tosses
away the cigarette and attempts to tie a knot in the silk.
The first attempt fails; nothing daunted, he tries again --
and fails again. Gathering himself for a supreme effort, he
tries once more and succeeds, for a knot appears in the
center of the silk; his moment of triumph is brief however,
for the knot dissolves when he shakes the silk! Gravely
displaying the silk on both sides, he throws it over his
right fist as he mutters the magic words “squeegie
squeegie,” something is seen to materialize under the silk.
Excitedly he snatches the silk away -- and discovers the
index finger of his right hand, pointing toward his
forehead! He pulls the silk through his right hand, twirls
it into a loose rope while he patters about splitting it
along its fourth dimension, and forthwith takes from it a
second yard square silk identical with the one he has been
using!
He ties the two together, tosses them into
the air, and a contrasting yard square silk appears tied
between them! Untying the three, he counts them -- one, two,
three, FOUR, FIVE, SIX! But the count is greeted with a
laugh, for to the audience it is obvious that there are only
three silks. “Six!” persists the magician, as he holds up
the silks, appears to “split off” another bunch identical
with the bunch he holds, and slowly and fairly counts out
six silks!
He places three of the silks on a chair at
his right, then knots the other three together in a string
and places them on a chair at his left. The knots
mysteriously pass from one set of silks to the other, and
the audience fails in an attempt to guess where the knots
are, for they vanish entirely. Once again the silks are
counted and seen to be separate, but when they are tossed
into the air, they descend tied together by a single knot,
and the performer catches them, taking a bow. Smiling, he
strokes the silks with his hand, and from them removes a
second bunch of six silks of contrasting colors to the first
six! Counting these, he “splits off” another bunch of six
silks -- and counts again -- eighteen silks -- yard squares
-- produced from nowhere!
Surprise has been added to surprise; the
audience has been well entertained by a fast moving,
streamlined routine of magical effects climaxed by a most
amazing production of silks. There, in very truth, is the
kind of magic the idealists dream about, for it is produced
on a bare stage or in the middle of a night club floor; the
magician enters and with him comes surprise, color, a deft
touch of comedy, and a generous measure of mystification!

by S.W . Erdnase
B251-1499
NOW $6.00
|
|
Paperbound, 130 5 3/8" by 8
1/2" pages, Dover Publication
For almost a century, this book
has been considered indispensable to attaining the
highest level of card mastery. In it, S.W. Erdnase,
a supreme master of card manipulation, teaches card
enthusiasts how to perform the dazzling tricks and
sleights-many of them how own creations-that made
him famous.
The first section of the book deals with card table
artifice, or, to put it more bluntly, cheating at
cards. Step by step, Mr. Erdnase demonstrates his
own systems of false shuffling, false riffling and
cutting, dealing from the bottom and such slick
moves as palming cards, "skinning the hand," even
three-card monte.
The second section covers legerdemain: the art of
forcing a card, one- and two-hand transformations,
the devious "slide" and more. Card handlers will
love Erdnase's selection of dazzling card tricks,
including The Acrobatic Jacks, The Exclusive
Coterie, The Divining Rod, The Invisible Flight, a
Mind Reading Tick and many others.
In an informative foreword to this edition, Martin
Gardner relates the unhappy details of the author's
personal life, and recounts the history of this
famous book, whose methods, Mr. Gardner asserts,
"are as useful today by magicians and card hustlers
as they were in 1902. This book is still the bible
of card 'mechanics,' and as much a delight to read
as it was in the early years of this century."
"The Expert at the Card Table is the most famous,
carefully studied book ever published on the art of
manipulating cards at gaming tables." -from the

instructions on how to make your own egg skins for
performing this miracle.
Card Production Supreme-Ganson's unique single card
production based on an Edward Victor card grip.
Matchic-Germany's Hans
Keiser's routine with two matches win the heads
vanish, appear, jump, change color, etc.
Readapack-A secret
"glimpse" move enabling you to call out cards cut to
from a borrowed and shuffled deck.
My Name, Your Name-Ganson's version of Dr. Daley's
Ad Lib Spelling routine with cards using the
spectator's names instead of the name of the card.
Coins and Glass Routine-A great routine combining a
coins and glass routine with Copenetro. Nice
multiple production of coins one by one from the
Down's palm.
Koran's Solo Aces-A very fine four ace assembly from
Al Koran.
Smoking Clay Pipes-The classic effect of producing
smoke from two ordinary clay pipes with absolutely
no tobacco or matches. This is a real fooler. I saw
it performed only once when I was a teenager and it
was extremely impressive.
Harold Beaumont's Dice Routine-A "quickie" routine
with two dice that you can carry with you and
perform anytime.
