THE DAI VERNON CUPS AND BALLS - Lewis Ganson
Soft back - 15 pages - 23 cms x 15.5 cms
Don't ask me who published this there's mention of it anywhere although it looks like what I believe Supreme Magic Co published.
Not in the best of condition but good for its age. All text and pictures are clear very legible and makes for a good reading copy. If you’re looking for great information on a classic routine by one of magic’s masters ...then this is for you. If you’re a book collector looking for a pristine copy this is not for you.
The explanation to the full routine is here including the explanation of the wand spin vanish.
DAI VERNON'S SYMPHONY OF THE RINGS by Lewis Ganson
Published by Harry Stanley (A Unique Publication) Soft back - 28 pages - 22 cms x 13.5 cms
Not in the best of condition but good for its age. The centre pages have come away from the binding staples. All text and pictures are clear very legible and makes for a good reading copy. If you’re looking for great information on a classic routine by one of magic’s masters then this is for you. If you’re a book collector looking for a pristine copy this is not for you.
There's an address sticker measuring 4 cms x 2 cms with the previous owners name and address. Even though I know the previous owner no longer lives at this address I didn't think it appropriate to display a photograph of it on a public forum.
Dai Vernon’s Symphony of the Rings is a classic presentation of the Chinese Linking Rings mystery, and includes some excellent moves. The text is filled with B&W photos. The book contains 31 pages. Highly recommended to anyone wishing to learn a routine with their set of Linking Rings.
Lewis Ganson, expertly and with care to minute details, explains the famous six ring routine devised by Dai Vernon. Vernon first performed the entire routine in front of Ganson’s cine camera. By studying the film in slow motion, they were able to determine the most suitable photographs to take with a still camera to illustrate the text.
Many have considered this to be the best and most beautiful routine for the Chinese Linking Rings.Contents:Introduction: “Dai Vernon teaches you to “play” so that you too can perform THE SYMPHONY OF THE RINGS”; Lewis GansonThe Symphony of the Rings: Introduction and advice on performing the linking ringsThe Rings: What size to use.

In good condition for its age. I'm not sure how to describe it but there'a a part of the front cover that looks like there was once a sticker and it's been removed. I've tried to show it inn of the photographs. The centre staples hold the book together are showing signs of rust.
The advertising copy reads:
Dai Vernon spent several days at Magic, Inc. working on this book to expand it, combine other notes into it and add some items. He also went over everything to bring it up to date, and this new edition is now detailed and illustrated.
