[VERNON, DAI] Joe Berg?s 1968 Magic Castle Award. Hollywood: Hollywood Trophy Co., 1968. Gilded plaster sculpture of Dai Vernon?s hands, crossed, one holding a pack of cards, the other clipping his trademark cigar between two fingers. Mounted on a hardwood base with attached engraved plaque reading, ?Academy of Magical Arts / 1968 Award / Dealer of the Year / Dai Vernon.? Base 9 x 9?. A few small spots of wear, else very good condition. These awards were presented by the Academy of Magical Arts for one year only. This is only the second such award, featuring the sculpture of Vernon?s hands, we have encountered.
