Vernons Favorite Trick

In this Cardman Wonderland, Steinar Thelen and the gang will show you how to wow any audience with a trick so easy…and so amazing…

That Dai Vernon chose to perform it for non-magicians at every opportunity!

This routine features three escalating effects, and a climax so suprising and devious, you’ll want to start performing it for everyone you meet.

Note: Steinar’s method has streamlined and simplified the Vernon original. This is the ‘go-to’ method – and you’re about to get every single detail you’ll need to make it your own.
