Vernon Chronicles Vol. 2 - More Lost Inner Secrets - Stephen Minch

This second volume of The Vernon Chronicles picks up where Volume One ended in documenting the large body of exceptional magic created by Dai Vernon and, with few exceptions, never published in any form before.

Over fifty Vernon tricks and routines are fully detailed in these pages. There are chapters of impossible card locations, transpositions, ace tricks and a wide assortment of other effects. There are linking ring moves, entire silk routines and even a trick with flying walnuts! There are tricks for close-up and platform, tricks to fool laymen and to fool magicians, tricks that require sleight-of-hand and tricks that are self-working.

And there is history. Dai Vernon was a living archive of twentieth-century magic. No book about him would be an accurate portrayal of the man if it lacked a sense of magic's past and past masters. The final chapter of this volume contains unpublished material by such greats as Max Malini, Nate Leipzig and Henry Christ.

Drawing on the vast repository of magical information revealed by The Professor to Bruce Cervon and Larry Jennings, this volume brings another generous collection of exquisite Vernon magic into the hands of magicians everywhere.

An 18 page Vernoniana Portfolio by professional photographers Young & Robin opens the volume. Rare and interesting Vernon memorabilia photographed so you can enjoy it over the years. Over 50 Vernon routines, 27 historical photographs, 177 illustrations.
