The Dai Vernon Book of Magic. Lewis Ganson. First Edition, 1957. Signed by Dai Vernon.
One of the most influential introductory books on sleight-of-hand ever published, The Dai Vernon Book of Magic introduced generations of magicians to the thinking and techniques of the legendary “Professor.” Written by Lewis Ganson, the volume presents Vernon’s approach to cards, coins, cups and balls, and close-up magic with the clarity that made it a standard reference for both amateurs and professionals.
Bound in the original publisher’s black cloth with gilt lettering on the spine and offered with its original illustrated dust jacket. Signed by Dai Vernon on the front free endpaper.
The book remains in very good condition, with light age toning to the pages. The dust jacket shows moderate wear, including edge tears, creasing, and small areas of loss, but remains complete and presents well in a protective Brodart mylar cover.
