Bruce Cervon Castle Notebook, Vol. 1 – Book

These notebooks are often described as legendary, but that falls short of the truth.A true legend is only partially rooted in reality.Bruce Cervon’s Castle Notebooks represent the authentic essence of magic. Upon moving to Los Angeles to learn from Dai Vernon, Bruce meticulously documented every insight shared by the Professor and other magic luminaries. He also recorded his original creations, many of which were reserved for professional performances. Over the years, these notebooks expanded significantly, and while Bruce kept them closely guarded, their reputation flourished among the magic elite. From these notes emerged five volumes of Cervon’s magic and three volumes of The Vernon Chronicles. However, this was merely the beginning. The Castle Notebooks also encompass material Bruce intended for future publications on Vernon and himself, extensive insights into card cheating techniques (much of which was conveyed by Vernon), unpublished works from various magic greats, and Bruce’s own professional routines. The sheer volume and caliber of this content is astonishing, spanning over 1500 pages.Bruce Cervon’s Castle Notebooks are a treasure trove for enthusiasts of close-up magic from the golden era of the Magic Castle. They contain a wealth of tricks, techniques, and secrets that Bruce kept exclusive for years, many of which remain ahead of contemporary magic innovations. Honoring Bruce’s wish for this information to remain exclusive, his wife, Linda Lipps Cervon, in collaboration with L&L Publishing, is releasing these notebooks in a facsimile hardcover edition. Each page is a faithful reproduction of the original handwritten notes.Volume 1 features the first three notebooks, created between December 1964 and November 1965.409 pages“The Cervon Notebooks are like experiencing some of the most captivating magic sessions of the 20th century.
