Dai Vernon: cups and balls

May 6th, 2008 1 Comment   Posted in Magicians You Have To Know

Enjoy this old clip from Mark Wilsons TV-Magic Show. It is Vernons famous version of cups and balls.

In the book “The Vernon book of Vernon” you can read about how and why he does like in his videos. The book is from 1957 and was reproduced a couple of years ago. So you can and should soon buy it.

The book and its content can’t be recommended enough. Many of the book’s tricks are for magicians, what Beatles or Mozart is for musicians. I use several things from the book, and much of the material I have trained on, because it is thought trough, and beautiful as magic.

Study it and you will gain an insight in what “The Vernon Touch” is… Remember it is a good word to know when you talk with serious magicians. :-)
