Vernon, Dai (David Frederick Wingfield Verner). Archive of Dai Vernon/Danny Dew Correspondence. Five manuscript postcards in Vernon’s hand discuss the method for Vernon’s Champage Glass and Coins, his move to the west coast, Linking Rings, Cups and Balls, shows he has performed, his classes at Tannen’s, and personal matters; two ANSs from Vernon to Dew; and three ALSs, one with original mailing cover. Other magicians mentioned include Frakson, Jennings, and Keating, among others. Together with four Christmas cards bearing lengthy inscriptions from Vernon to Dew, each warmly expressing Vernon’s feelings for his friend. Together with four candid photos of Dew and Vernon (at the Magic Castle and elsewhere), and a copy of The Conjurer V1 N8, about Vernon. 1950s – 70s. Generally very good condition.
