Vernon, Dai (David Frederick Wingfield Verner). Four Dai Vernon Postcards. 1960. Written by Vernon to Frank Csuri, who chronicled much of Vernon's magic in his famous notebooks. Vernon writes on varied subjects: "ÉI shall send you #1 and #2 of Doctor Daley's notebooks." "thank you so much for allowing me to read your neatly compiled collection of things that have been attributed to me." All items boldly signed "Dai Vernon." Csuri's notebooks became the stuff of "underground legend" in the magic community. These postcards were written by Vernon at the outset of this project, which began with Csuri's transcription of Daley's notes.
