Item Details

Description

Vernon, Dai (David Frederick Wingfield Verner). Dai Vernon’s Patterned Cloth Fan. Handsome wooden fan covered with patterned fabric and backed with red fabric. 15” long. Owned and used by Dai Vernon. With a letter of provenance signed by Vernon’s son, Derek Verner. Vernon was among the magicians to popularize the now-classic Snowstorm effect – requiring a sturdy fan for the denouement of the trick - describing his method for the trick in his book Select Secrets (1941) and most famously performing it as part of his fabled Harlequin Act.
