Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc.
Gather 'round, seasoned sorcerers and card conjurers! We're diving into some serious magic history with the Vernon Revelations (Volumes 3 & 4) video download. Picture this: September 2-6, 1982, a cozy filming studio in St. John's, Newfoundland, where the legendary Dai Vernon had his magic captured for the ages. Thanks to the brainchild of Bill Larsen and the magic minds at Videonics, led by Hans Zahn, we get to watch the Professor himself work his craft. Co-hosted by the likes of Michael Ammar, Gary Ouellet, and Steve Freeman, this isn't just any old magic video—it's a masterclass in the art of deception from the guy who practically wrote the book on it.
L & L Publishing took this golden footage, gave it a digital makeover, and now it’s available in eight delightful downloads. Not only do you get to see and hear Vernon at his finest, but you'll also be passing this down to your great-grandkids, so they can learn from the ultimate master of the craft.
Now, let’s break down why you need these gems in your collection:
- The format? Think of it as a backstage pass to a jam session. Vernon shares his tricks, moves, and routines while holding court like the magic royalty he is.
- Every technique, move, and routine is performed by either Vernon or one of his co-hosts, complete with detailed explanations. You’ll be scribbling notes like you’re in a lecture hall.
- Half of what you’ll see is from published works, and the other half? Freshly revealed gold—never seen before at the time of filming!
- Vernon isn’t just repeating old tricks; he’s dropping new techniques on his classics, including those legendary Stars of Magic effects.
- Ever heard of the Coins in Champagne Glass or Fred Kaps’ Coins and Silk? Yup, they’re revealed here for your pleasure.
- And get ready for some serious deep dives into the Erdnase techniques, which Vernon spent decades dissecting. It’s like a magic workshop on steroids.
The whole point of these videos? To capture Vernon live so that future magicians can soak up his brilliance. Honestly, if you're serious about your craft, missing out on these would be like a chef ignoring a secret family recipe.
