The First California Lecture by Dai Vernon

The First California Lecture preserves material and commentary from one of magic’s most influential minds. Originally published by Jeff Busby, this sought-after booklet captures Vernon’s thoughts on card magic, coins, cups and balls, linking rings, forcing techniques, palming, the center tear, and more. The lecture notes also include contributions and annotations relating to Frederick Braue, Dariel Fitzkee, and Jeff Busby.

This is a first edition, numbered copy from a limited printing of 1,000 copies. The booklet features the original pictorial wrappers with a portrait of Dai Vernon on the cover and remains a desirable collectible for students of Vernon, magic history, and vintage lecture notes. Copies from this limited printing continue to be actively collected, particularly by Vernon enthusiasts.
