Yet, the man and his material remain largely misunderstood. In this unprecedented two-disc, three-hour seminar, Roberto Giobbi explores what makes Dai Vernon&#8217;s magic so special.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded as a Live Seminar at Joshua Jay&#8217;s and Andy Gladwin&#8217;s <em>The Magic Session<\/em> in the UK, Giobbi discusses Dai Vernon\u2019s tricks, techniques, presentations, theories, and how they have changed the way magicians look at magic.\u00a0Along the way you\u2019ll learn more about\u00a0who\u00a0Vernon was and how he thought through amazing and amusing anecdotes.<\/p>\n<p>Studying Vernon is a fascinating and enlightening way of studying the essence of artistic magic. With The Dai Vernon Seminar, you will look through the eyes of the kind of figure who comes along once in a century and changes the way magic is understood and performed. This set also includes rare footage of Vernon himself, with commentary by Giobbi.<\/p>\n<p>Who better to take us on a journey into the mind of Dai Vernon than Roberto Giobbi?

Attendance is limited, and it&#8217;s expensive to attend. It has only been delivered a few times, and we were both fortunate enough to attend at The Session in 2015. It was staggeringly good. We realize not all of you would fit in the 50 seats in that room, so we did something even better: we captured the entire thing on film.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The seminar is all encompassing: Giobbi paints a detailed biographical sketch of Vernon the man, and Vernon the magician. We are treated to rare archival footage from several phases of Vernon&#8217;s career, and Giobbi&#8217;s anecdotes are at turns funny, insightful, and unexpected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And then there is the material. What fabulous material!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Vernon Seminar is the complete three-hour seminar, beautifully captured and edited so that you can revisit this densely-packed set over and over. Giobbi demonstrates and teaches the intricacies of the Vernon Cups and Balls routine, and also covers Vernon material that is far less known, including:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Five Coins and a Glass<br \/>\n\u2022 The Peripatetic Walnuts<br \/>\n\u2022 Cone and Ball<br \/>\n\u2022 Mental Card Miracle<br \/>\n\u2022 A Poker Deal<br \/>\n\u2022 And much, much more<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Vernon Seminar is two discs, and we also include the eighty-page booklet (in PDF form) that Mr. Giobbi sells only after conducting a Vernon Seminar (a $40 value). Everything is packaged in a beautiful slipcase with the Vanishing Inc. quality you have come to expect from us.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":638,"template":"","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[21],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-637","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-dvds","first","instock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robertogiobbi.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robertogiobbi.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robertogiobbi.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robertogiobbi.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robertogiobbi.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robertogiobbi.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=637"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robertogiobbi.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=637"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robertogiobbi.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
