Dai Vernon is one of the most influential magicians in history. Every magician in the world uses effects of subtleties created by Vernon. He revolutionized magic and made it modern and personal. His passion and love for the art of magic was amazing and his creativity and talent inspired many contemporary stars of magic.
In this video I explain how Vernon became one the most respected magicians in the world, how he fooled Harry Houdini, what was his main source of inspiration and what is the legendary Vernon Touch.
Do you perform any effects created by the Professor? Has Vernon´s philosophy influenced your approach to magic? Share your thoughts in the comments.
If you like this video, feel free to share it with you magic friends and colleagues. I believe that spreading knowledge about the history of magic can help magicians become better and be more passionate about this amazing art.

Thank you for watching this video! There is more content coming up soon so if you liked it, do not forget to subscribe. There was a typo in the video (as pointed out by some people in the comments): Dai Vernon was of course born in 1894 and died in 1992. My apologies for that mistake.

I started with card magic half a year ago and I immediately loved it. Now I'm training every day all the different moves and techniques. I really love your videos because they give a great overview on the history on card magic and how all this developed! Thank you so much for your hard work to create these videos!

@ArtofImpossible 4 года назад

Really happy to hear that you like my videos, thanks for the feedback! And good luck with studying card magic, you have a beautiful journey ahead of you. I wish I had learned more about history and read more classics (such as Vernon) when I started with magic, so it's really cool that you enjoy learning about history.

Hi! Great review of “The Professor”, the only thing is an error on the dates of birth and death (1894-1”8”92). Greetings from Argentina!

@ArtofImpossible 4 года назад

Thank you for noticing that! It is indeed a mistake and I appreciate that you pointed it out, somehow I just haven't noticed it even though I have seen this video dozens of times :D Glad you liked the video! And as you mentioned that you are from Argentina, I instantly thought of Rene Lavand and remembered being at his lecture in London in 2009. During the Q&A session he was asked which magicians had influenced him. He replied that he had to invent all his techniques himself as all books were written for magicians with two hands. But then he added that if he had to name someone, then it would definitely be Dai Vernon. I found it really impressive.

@ignaciohb84 4 года назад

Art of Impossible Yes of course, Rene is one of the few leyends in magic history, as well as David Bamberg (Fu-Manchu). Both from Argentina, actually David was english, but spent most of his career here. Nice to have a word with you. PS: you should produce a special about Rene! ;)

How could you mention a list of people that Dai Vernon taught without saying Richard Turner lol

@johnbauman4005 7 месяцев назад

It's pronounced JEE-NEE magazine, not JEE-NEE-I. Also, I have always pronounced his first name as you do: DIE. However I was recently told he actually preferred: DAY. The time I met him, I called him Mr. Vernon and was too young to think about asking him such a thing. Can you cite a reliable source for the correct pronunciation? Pronouncing his name correctly is the least we can do to honor the man. Thanks for a great video. 👍 & subscribed! John

@ArtofImpossible 6 месяцев назад

Of course, you absolutely correct regarding the pronunciation of Genii, I don't make this mistake anymore :D As for Dai - this is a good question, I think I mostly heard people saying "die", also most magicians. But I need to look for a source, I don't have one at the moment. How did you meet Vernon?This is already an amazing experience I believe and a great memory:)

@johnbauman4005 6 месяцев назад

@@ArtofImpossible Thank you for your kind reply! I hear most magicians pronounce his first name "Dye" as well. I regret I can't recall where I heard or saw that his preferred pronunciation is "Day." Sorry if I am creating needless confusion, but am genuinely curious. I met him at the 1978 Society of American Magicians convention at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC. He kindly autographed my program as did many other luminaries of the day. It was a memorable convention as I also got to experience first-hand Tommy Wonder's Two Cup routine (he went by Jos Bema then, a shortening of Josip Bemelman). The misdirection on the loading of the bag and large pompom was SO strong that he had to re-demonstrate them repeatedly because most of the magicians in attendance could not follow it even during the explanation. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy these pleasant recollections. Kind regards, John

Houdini got fooled by a simple double lift?😂

@ArtofImpossible 3 года назад

Well, there was also a nice extra touch to it - a double-backed card which made it a bit more deceptive. Also, I believe that, first, Houdini was no expert in sleight of hand and second, it could be that double lift was not considered to be a basic move as it is now (this has to be double-checked though - pun intended). Plus: Vernon was a true master of sleight of hand, so I wouldn't be surprised if he still managed to fool lots of people with a simple double lift today :D
