- Dai Vernon Book of Magic
This Book is simply required study. It’s like studying Dickens or Shakespeare.
It represents a masterclass from a grand master of magic.
I hope this video inspires you to read this with fresh eyes and mind.

I’m very happy to see the resurgence of magic books. Now I just need to stop watching so many UA-cam channels about books and start reading.
I've been an admirer of your work for years, but I believe this is the first time I'm commenting. Thank you for this series, and thank you for putting me on the right path.
Thanks so much, Michael!! At least once a year, I read Chapter Two: The Vernon Touch. There are so many valuable lessons just in the one chapter, that it bears repetitive reading. Bill Simon sets the stage for that chapter, and I would also encourage others to read Simon's Observations chapter (introduction) in his fine book, Effective Card Magic. It too, shares many valuable insights and practical information that can be applied to ones magic. I'm loving this series of videos. Props to you, kind sir!!!! And cheers to us 57 year olds!!!! Always the student!!!! Rock on brother!!!
Cheers Glen; you mentioned Bill Simon. Isn’t his book Effective Card Magic FANTASTIC? That opening chapter is one of the best and most critical piece of reading I have ever come across in all my years of study. This book is on my list to talk about. Cheers Glen is 57 years are rocking.
@@MichaelVincentMagic I was also going to mention one of my other all-time favorite magic book introductions/preface/opening chapter, which is in Michael Skinner's "Classic Sampler". Skinner's preface is pure gold. William Murray's Profile of Skinner's work is my single favorite intro to a magic book, hands down. His description of taking friends to see Skinner perform at Elaines in Vegas, and their reaction to his work, is just priceless. I read that at least a couple times per year. Not to mention the great material beyond the intro. Cheers, Michael!!
Thank you so much for putting together this delightful series. Classic books, classic card magic. I now begin my mornings with you & coffee (perfect combination).
This is stellar Mike, world class card magic. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks Tommy. What did you learn today.
Oh Damn !! I thought the first trick was 0:06 That Scary Left Eye staring back at me!!! (I really thought was there to break the ice! Hahhh!!)
This is my favorite show on “Television.” Nourishing and inspiring.
Michael, with every interaction I have with someone I strive to share some of my knowledge and experience. I also leave them with something positive so that they walk away feeling uplifted about themselves. You do the exact same thing. After watching and listening to you I always see the beauty and wonder of this magical world that we live in. Cheers from St Louis USA.
I love this series. I’m looking forward to this every morning!
Same
So do I. These videos are pure gold. Once in a blue moon we have the opportunity to listen to a MASTER close-up card expert reviewing classic and timeless books.
Great work mike! This is an awesome series! ♣️♥️♠️♦️
Very informative, thx mike!!! Started back reading my magic books again because of your vids!!!
Thank you for this series! I have all of the books mentioned so far and continuously study them.. The current magic scene could benefit greatly from absorbing the information in Classic Books, Classic Magic! Much love Michael!
I have just purchased the L&L publisher edition of this book. Can’t wait to get into this book.
Keep recording videos like this, this is history in the making
You are making me feel like binging on Vernon... It's been a while since I cracked open those books.
Awesome Mahdi. You are a prime example of what Vernon taught us. You understood yourself and you got up work to find your style, technique and narrative. You inspired me because you found your self expression buddy. Proud of you x
Watching you work always amazes me.
People will say "What's the point in this, you can look most of the info on magic on the Internet". I'd say "That's not the point. If you grew up in a world with no Internet you'd understand the power of a book. They are still valid today and its just the 'magic' of them. I see a shelf of magic books and get a 'magical' feeling. Its like being in a movie, a shelf full of secrets, a wizards shelf"
Growing up in a world where reading books was a high commodity gave as another world to explore. The internet is a works too, the difference is once you go down this particular road, the trail behind disappears. Once in no way out. With a book, the trail I started on reveals miles stones look look back on to see how far I have come.
Most of the time, even a dvd with professional instruction doesn’t come close to the nuance and depth of a well-written magic book.
@@MichaelVincentMagic Very interesting take on books. I think you have something there.
Michael I love you brother I fell in love with magic and I love your passion and entusiasm every time you talk about it
You are so right about books and tricks. Enjoying these videos so much. I love your background on each of the books! Thank you.
Michael is 57 going on 40! Another great video.
As always a very inspiring video. I just love to listen to you speaking about magic. I opened a book I had some months ago and I found a fantastic routine to study.
Loved it Michael. See you tomorrow friend.
Very very nice sir. I was entertained throughout the routine. Thank you for keeping the secrets intact! Hard to build a fan base these days without divulging hard earned secrets. Freedom does not come free and Magic is not CHEAP.
This type of discussion/performance makes it easier to digest some ideas I have read about. And as I get to know your personality more it makes it even easier to pick up the subtleties❣️♠️♣️♦️
Love the series too!
Love you mike😎because you love magic so much.😁
Your routines are amazing
Thank you Michael! Another great video. I love that "picture frame" presentation you used for your Royal Flush at the end
So happy to see you back publishing videos; love this series
Excellent work Michael. Enjoyable to watch.

Crazy routine to finish on , amazing skill micheal .
That was really lovely.Great magic books.Great magicians.Great stories and great sleight of hand tricks.Wonderful and thanks again!I myself am getting into Robert Giobbis Card College books to learn the sleights!What a challenge!!!Loving it!
Dear Michael, I wish you a Happy New Year! Your video somehow cheers people up as always. I watched almost every one of yours. Do you think big hands are an advantage in sleight of hands? Ever you know a great magicians with small hands? My hands are small and cause a level of difficulty learning card magics in my thinking
Loved the routine Michael
Amazing Michael..... As usual
Wonderful. The Man.
Cy endfields entertaining card magic or the cardician by Ed marlo next?
Thank you!
where can i find the routine that when you cut and all the aces are under together under control?
I always LOVE your videos. They are somehow kind of addicting! I have a question for you: do you distinguish between "magic" and "skill"? A routine like this, and many others like this, are presented as "demonstrations of skill". They are very enjoyable to watch when done well. But there is another category of performance in which the performer presents something as "magic".... the only way to really explain it is as if something "really magical" happened. For me, these are two entirely different kinds of experiences, both as a performer and as an observer. I have been thinking about this a lot after investigating a lot of Eugene Burger's thinking on magic. His goal is the the audience member perceive something as entirely magical and doesn't notice there is "slight of hand" involved. What are your thoughts on this? I would love to see an in depth video from you on this :)
You have raised a point which is of great interest to me. I will give some thought to making a video about this. Demonstrations of Skill vs The Experience of Magic🎭
@@MichaelVincentMagic Great! I do indeed hope you make a video about this. Really looking forward to that!
Beautiful routine Michael
Hey Michael Loving this series, your little reading of Vernon's thoughts on practice caused a question to pop into my head. Obviously you take the study of magic very seriously and it pays off dividends but are there any moves you practice and do for yourself just because it's fun to do?, something that's sort of impractical and wouldn't really work for an audience for instance, I know in my case it's a few coin vanishes that look really good in a mirror or on camera but not so much live but I just find the mechanics of them so tactilely pleasing that I do them all the time.
To be honest, I don’t waste time with that idea. Why waste energy like this when I can use that energy to create a beautiful piece of magic. My time is compromised now because I look after my mother. So I focus on results nothing else.
@@MichaelVincentMagic That's a fair point, I suppose it's much more necessary for you to maximise your practice as a working professional, I am just a hobbyist who enjoys fidgeting haha.
Hello Maestro Vincent.
Could you please review Roberto Giobbi's Stand up Magic"?? What about reviewing Stephen Cohen's "Win the crown" and Steve Beam's Semiautomatic Card Tricks series?? Thanks so much.
Thanks
I will get round to it.
@@MichaelVincentMagic
Thanks Professor
Beautiful video I wonder how many casinos hire people that watch your videos yikes.. I guess we know why they have all the money LoL
If duces are wild and you get 4 aces and a Duce, does that mean you can have 5 aces
Hi Michael, im a beginner. I bought some sleight of hand books, but dont know where to start. I also dont know which one of them is the first to begin with, and the second, etc. Can you give me some advise? My books : expert card technique, the expert at the card table, card control, the royal road to card magic, scarne on card tricks and self-working card tricks by fulves. (also these books, but no sleight of hand, the mark wilson course in magic, the tarbell lessons in magic.) I would like to here from you, because from your advise I can start my way..
Hi Nike. Good books you have. Put everything you have away and focus on The Royal Road to Card Magic and Self Working Card Tricks. Don’t spend any more money on books or tricks. Read these books, think, study abs practice like there is no tomorrow. Spend this year on these two books. This will give you a good foundation for the rest of your books.
@@MichaelVincentMagic Thank you so much!! Your advise really motivates me! I will practice these books like there’s no tomorrow, for sure! 🙏👏🏻
Michael...I remember you had mentioned in previous videos that you had a DVD. Is this a presentation DVD or a "teaching" DVD? Where can I purchase this?
What dvd Rocky ?
@@MichaelVincentMagic a previous video you did you performed a routine and then told the person watching that the routine just performed was on your dvd...
@@RockyTopSplash what was the routine?
@@MichaelVincentMagic I'm trying to find it now.. I may have misunderstood.. I will get back with you about it
