Topping the Deck: The Perfect Move

Product detailed description

Dai Vernon’s Topping the Deck is often regarded as one of the best, if not the best, techniques for palming cards from the top of the deck. First published in the early 1940s, Vernon’s sleight withstood the test of time and is still widely used today. Many magicians shared their personal tips and twists on it, but no thorough work has been done until now.

Jamy Ian Swiss’ booklet Topping the Deck: The Perfect Move goes in-depth into Vernon's move. It covers everything from the best card palm position, grip, the fundamental mechanics to subtleties that will help you make the action imperceptible.

Jamy Ian Swiss included Vernon’s correspondence with Sam Horowitz in this booklet, as it contains Vernon’s own description of the move.
