The above clip comes from a 1976 James Randi special called “World of Wizards.” I had posted the full special some years ago, but the original channel that hosted it, “Sleight of Direction,” disappeared. However, through magical means I was able to make it reappear for you today with no further hosting issues.

Actually, today I’m honing in specifically on the segment devoted to Dai Vernon, and one of his most famous students! It’s a little seen, but wonderful segment that really shows you the devotion that Doug had for the “Professor,” and the nuances he gave him and his career. 

It’s a keeper to be sure! Enjoy.
