The Vernon Touch is a time capsule of the entire history of 20th century magic, spanning nine decades. Not only was Dai Vernon at the center of the magic world in New York City from the 1920s through the early 1960s, his move to Los Angeles in 1963 to coincide with the opening of The Magic Castle once again placed him in the center of it all.

The Vernon Touch by Dai Vernon is a massive, 608-page hardcover anthology that compiles the legendary columns written by "The Professor" for Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine spanning over nine decades of 20th-century magic history. Published as a comprehensive masterwork, the book acts as an invaluable historical time capsule and a personal diary of the man who fundamentally redefined modern sleight-of-hand.
