I have had the goo fortune of knowing nearly all of the “greats” over a period of fifty years. I have listened and heeded the advice of those talanted and gifted performers who have been so generous to me, and in this way I have acumulated what I consider to be a number of sound ideas. The contents of this book are the result of the application of these ideas.” Chapters: Background to a legend – The vernon touch – A chinese classic – Penetration of thought – Three ball transposition – Application of the tenkai palm – The linking rings – Seven C ard Monte – Quick Tricks (7) – Expansion of Texture – The Challenge – Dai Vernon’s Double Lift – The Cups and Balls – Nate Leipzig’s card stab – Tips on knots – Six Card Repeat – Free and unlimited coinage of silver – Mental Spell – Pot Pourri (5) – Ball, cone and handkerchief – The last trick of Dr. Jacob Daley – Paul Rosini’s Impromptu Thimble Routine – The Vernon Poker Demonstration – The Thumb Tie – – (Provided by KADADDLES Booksellers)
