Leipziger
, better known as Nate Leipzig.
Vernon
was an intimate friend of Leipzig. Vernon not only saw many performances given by Leipzig, but Leipzig also explained Vernon in detail how all of his tricks worked and how they are to be performed. Vernon recorded this in his notebooks from which this publication was prepared. It is therefore fair to say that this is as close as you will ever get to learn from Leipzig. A skillful combination of fascinating biographical detail and carefully described magical secrets produce a volume that has a unique place in magical literature with carefully described magical secrets researched and recorded by Dai Vernon and Lewis Ganson.
Leipzig
was one of the gentlemen of magic, with an endearing, quiet style that captured every audience for which he performed, who could perform a close-up effect in the most intimate setting as well as command the largest stages in a style unlike any other. He performed small tricks, like the Penny Out of a Glass of Beer and large tricks like his Cabaret Card-Stab. These and a multitude of others are described by Lewis Ganson in precise detail as passed on by the one and only Dai Vernon. Over sixty routines and tricks are described in this wonderful classic of magic, any one of which would have fetched several times the price of the book. Photographs showing Dai Vernon performing the Leipzig magic illustrate the text.
Dozens of photographs (re-screened for the best possible reproduction) showing Dai Vernon performing the beautiful Leipzig magic illustrate the text which is written in Lewis Ganson's clear style. This book is a famous classic and much coveted by discerning magicians. And now, entirely new to this edition from L & L Publishing, is a special biographical chapter written by David
Goodsell
. Enrich your magical knowledge now by acquiring a copy of this remarkable book and learn the secrets of a no-less remarkable man.
