"Dai Vernon: The Spirit Of Magic" Documentary about the life and work of magician Dai Vernon, aka "The Professor" (David Frederick Wingfield Verner, 1894-1992).
You can STILL purchase the book mentioned in this video about my wife's favorite magician... great gift for a grandson I know for Christmas: The Expert at the Card Table by S. W. Erdnase . Considered by many magicians and card sharps to be the one essential guidebook to attaining the highest level of card mastery. Includes author's own systems of false shuffling, false riffling and cutting, dealing from the bottom, palming cards, "skinning the hand" — even three-card monte, plus 14 dazzling card tricks.
