Hey

Looking for the famous pic of Vernon - Black/White...a cigarette in one hand and a deck of cards in the other, looking at the deck

Anyone know where I could find this print?
Thanks in advance
ED

Don't know about the print...I first saw that picture in Magic Tricks and Card Tricks by Wilfrid Jonson, circa 1957. He's looking at the Ace of clubs!

Norm Nielsen was selling a poster like this for a while. It was beautiful, but I see it's gone from his site. You may want to check with him.

Hmmm. I actually have that as an 8x10 glossy... somewhere. I've moved a few times since and it's still in a box with other prints and collectibles.

Come to think of it, I have no clue where I got it! Probably at a magic swap meet. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but at the very least we now know they're available.

If there's a poster of this photo it's not easily found.

An original 8X10 shows up occasionally on Martinka or Ebay for around $60.00 to $80.00.

If it's signed, it's $150.00 and on up depending on how long it's been since one has come up for sale.

They're coming up far less often than they used to, and getting higher and higher prices each time a new one appears for sale, whether signed or unsigned.

I know there's a print of this photograph hanging up at the Magic Castle right outside of the Parlor, but that doesn't help you much. And there are two similar photos, one featuring the Professor as a young man, and the other, taken many years later, the Professor in the same position, looking much older but just as distinguished, if not more so. They would make a great pair of framed prints for a magician's wall. If you happen to find out where to obtain them, please let me know.

I have been looking for this poster for a while now, without any luck. In fact it's hard to find even the image file on internet, that is large enough to use it as wallaper or print it out myself.
This is the biggest image I've seen so far, http://www.bentreality.net/store/bentrealitystore.html, but still too small to do a print.
L&L Publishing have this image as the cover background for Dai's 8 DVDs revelations set, maybe they have a printable source.
Nice to meet you Smile

Correction: I have the later, white haired Vernon, not the early one. I still don't know where I got it.
