Vernon’s reply was a genius he performed for Cliff a very amazing card trick. When they met, Cliff appeared to taunt him when he asked Dai, what kind of tricks he was good at. By chance, they happened to meet at a magical event. His name was Cliff Green the legendary magician and illusionist. During this period, another famous magician was also trying to learn the ropes of the trade. By the age of 13 years, Vernon had completely mastered and absorbed all the tricks that were in the book and even other tricks that were not in the book. He also credited the book as a huge influence of his acts and positively reviewed the author for writing in a detailed and systematic way. It is this book that lay his foundations in the magical world by influencing him and teaching him the basics of the trade. He got his first magic guide book at this time called ‘The Expert at the Card Table’ by S.W Erdnace. Vernon started paying attention to Magic at the tender age of 7 years thanks to his father who happened to be an amateur magician at the time. After sometime Dai Vernon decided to move to New York USA. He attended the Royal Military College of Canada where he studied Mechanical Engineering. So even though Vernon’s passion was to be a magician, he still had to attend school and ‘make something of his life’. It is for this reason, those professional magicians were very few and far fetched all over the world. In the late 19 th century, performance magic was still not regarded highly and it was quite improbable to find anyone who lived entirely off magic proceeds. His father had a full-time government job but was still able to perform tricks and attain the rank of an amateur magician. In a famous interview, he stated that as soon as he realized what magic was at age 7, he realized that he had wasted the first six years of his life.
He came face to face with magic at age 7 and it was his own father who influenced him. It is from his home that his desire for magic was fuelled.
