Vernon Chronicles Vol 2: More Los by Stephen Minch And Dai Vernon

Description

About the Book

Unlike the first volume, Vernon Chronicles Vol 2: More Lost Inner Secrets 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.

More than 50 Vernon routines, 27 historical photographs and 177 illustrations are included across 245 pages.
