Dai Vernon – Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic
PDF
This work was planned to be the last volume in Dai Vernon's Inner Card Secrets series. However， due to water damage caused by a fire the typed manuscript was lost. It took several years to recover from this mishap and therefore this last volume was originally published much later than the first three volumes ([url=]Inner Secrets of Card Magic[/url]，[url=]More Inner Secrets of Card Magic[/url]，[url=]Further Inner Secrets of Card Magic[/url]). The wait was justified because it was and still is one of the important works of card magic – now available as an ebook.
No serious card man can exist without reading and studying this work.
1st edition 1967; original 246 pages; PDF 156 pages
