Vernon, Dai (David Frederick Wingfield Verner). Cigar box and magic props owned by Dai Vernon. Vintage Bering-brand cigar box signed and inscribed on the lid "Property of Dai Vernon/Magic Castle 1966." Inside are a pack of fanning cards, various packet tricks with gaffed cards, two small wooden boxes, and a gimmick similar to that used for the Downs "masterpiece," all presumably owned and used by Vernon.
