Cervon, Bruce (Bruce Cernava). Archive of Bruce Cervon Correspondence. Spanning roughly 1965 - 67, and addressed to Faucett Ross and Frank Csuri. Cervon, who at the time had recently relocated to Los Angeles, writes to Ross and Csuri about the early days of the Magic Castle ("The movie stars and big wigs continue to come in as usual."), the fabled Castle Notes ("I've been taking notes on Dai's stuff for around two years, and in that time have about 400 pagesÉ"), Charlie Miller, Vernon's Joker Monte effect (at the time, a closely held secret), and other magic-related topics. Handwritten, primarily on lined sheets, most two or three pages. Over 50 pages. Neatly organized.
