Tyler Verner 4 years ago · LINKED COMMENT My name is Tyler Verner, I am proud to say that this is my great grandfather.

[@guytagor]

+Tyler Verner really? wow! that's an honour!

[@deermagic4372]

+Tyler Verner Do you also do magic?

[@jammydodger7189]

do u know how he did this trick because I'm a magician in training and I would love to do this as one of my routine.

[@Master0fLight]

+James Price lmfao

[@daryldietrich]

Verner?? His name is Dai Vernon.

[@larrypatterson3957]

Tyler Verner - As a young man, just turned 18, I got a job at Disneyland in the Frontierland Operations Department as a ride operator. Each day I would go to work early and I would stop by the Main Street Magic Shop to watch the Lead Magician, Steve Schreiner, perform for the guests in the magic shop. We became friends and when I turned 21, he invited me to go with him to the Magic Castle in Hollywood where your great-grandfather, Dai, was the Magician-In-Residence and headliner in the Close-Up Room. Through my friend Steve, who’s was closer in age to Dai than to me, I got to sit at a private table for magicians only. I was actively studying magic by that point. Dai was at the table along with Al Goshman and Jimmy Ravel. Mr. Ravel was a magician and the developer/vendor of the Ravel Chop Cup, which are still available in magic shops today, and Al Goshman (Magic by Gosh) was there with his sponge ball routine. Anyway, your great-grandfather was very gracious and even though I was not a member of the Castle, he treated me as an apprentice magician and gave me a private showing, along with Jimmy Ravel and Al Goshman, of their talents. To this day, and I am nearing 70, that remains a bright memory of my youth. Today, in a local paper called The Paper, they printed a large article done by a local writer on The Magic Castle. It made me think of that night and I went to KZbin to see if Dai was featured and was happy to see him. I saw the very same routine while sitting with him at a table. Great memory. Your great-grandfather was a very nice man and someone to be proud of.

[@KennyVert]

Such a sweet comment. Like many of us, I wanted to be a magician when I was a kid. ❤❤

[@kdhablos7278]

My mind exploded at the last 10 seconds

[@macromonster365]

I think that's what he was going for. He lured them in made them feel confident, then shattered their entire paradigm. Brilliant.

[@michaelangelo0305]

Hooow did he do it

[@logandarklighter]

In -theory- I know how he's doing it. In -practice-, for the life of me, I can NOT see the sleights! Magnificently smooth! And I love his patter, too. As the previous poster said - it's like he's just sitting there shooting the BS with you and not performing at all. Brilliant!

[@maxpower5067]

Seriously it don't matter just enjoy it for goodness sake

[@astrosteve]

Dai Vernon is a legend. This was just perfect.

[@Guppusmaximus]

I've seen that trick a million times and I never thought it would wow me again... Boy, was I wrong.

[@Tufrmone]

He was easily the greatest magician of the 20th Century. Today's magicians will eventually be even greater because they have the video example of his technique to work from instead of written description. Its a shame he never got the recognition he really deserved when people like Chris Angel and so on are much much famous but haven't one tenth the ability.

[@FlockofSmeagles]

I'll never get tired of watching this clip.

[@jason420jv1]

vernonclassic you got to meet him and you fool him with a trick , that's awesome , was the trick original ( I'm curious as to what you fooled him with ) 👍

[@carrolloutdoors4764]

vernonclassic wow can you tell me more of what he was like?

[@patrickkennedy6949]

This man is an inspirtion for everybody interested in the art of conjuring and sleight of hand. I have massive respect for the legend Dai Vernon.

[@davidwilliams7935]

That Vernon wand spin. Amazing.

[@thirty6min]

Thanks for a clear version of the same video. Younger generation magicians no longer have the talent of the old ones.

[@rawlinsonboy]

Vernon: Well that's how that's done! Me: I still have no idea what the hell just happened

[@karipundai4725]

He is the magicians magician. The professor.

[@wittvonwitt4403]

Wow....when he showed the other hand.....blew me away. A Master truly

[@w00master]

The greatest magician of the 20th century. Period.

[@MrVirgion]

I think it is one of the best routines of cups and balls!

[@creatine64]

damn, he's amazing!!!! I would have loved to have seen him perform in person.

[@benjaminfranklin4149]

Seen a hundred versions or more of cups and balls and yet his final loads still floored me. Wow

[@alienwareufo]

This man is a genius!

[@charlesdelcampo8911]

The best of the best.....Master Magician!

[@oldschoolwarrior]

Thanks for posting this clear version. There are so few opportunities to see The Professor actually perform live. Thanks for giving us that opportunity.

Beautifully done with a number of understatements !

[@CharlesDelCampoTV]

Vernon was certainly a legend....

[@PokerPlayerJames]

R I P Dai Vernon you were simply the greatest magician to ever walk this planet

[@TheRahdouken]

HIGH RES VERSION - 240p

[@laurenceshtull6777]

Thank you for sharing your magical performances RIP Dai Vernon and Mark Wilson

[@jimdevo]

His greatest routine...the cups and balls. This is one of his very best performances on television and worthy of lengthy study. Even then no one will come even close. Brilliant. Awesome. Awe inspiring. Makes you want to give up.

[@greg55666]

It's just always insane. You can watch it a thousand times and it's still insane.

[@Jesys1]

Dai Vernon is amazing. Thanks for the high res version.

[@risitasfrance9020]

The mast part blew me away. This guy is incredibly talented ! 🙏

[@EddFairman]

He certainly did have family. His son is quoted as saying, "As a father, Dai, made a great magician." It could be apocryphal but that is the quote in the magic community.

[@cameronkapadia7434]

I wish I could go back in the past and just talk to this genius

[@The9thChord]

Still my favourite and the best (IMO) Cups and Balls ever.

[@sanweemagicalentertainer]

Arguably the most knowledgeable and best sleight of hand artist ever graced the earth! 🌎

[@880330145789]

i learned alot from alot of his books... brilliant man who knows his stuff

[@michaelnielsen31]

Love this video! He's a great inspiration!

[@calebkasper6900]

Best ive seen done!!!

[@kramer727272]

[@rgu3t0]

just the way that it looks like he's not even performing but actually just bs'ing....that makes this routine so much better

[@RemAtmos]

What a wonderfully respectful introduction the host gave for him!

[@dimabbq]

Jesuuuuuussss.........absolutely breathtakingly amazing...

[@880330145789]

he spent much of his years researching and looking for different sleights and moves... amazing history

[@swmxx]

thanks for the quality

[@malekbenchikh1596]

Master of the masters.

[@NonneWeber]

Super!!!Perfekt!!...its Magic

[@McRocket]

Amazing.

[@kilbraur]

Different class altogether, even when you know how it's done you still can't see the sleight of hand.

[@neochase1]

wow, thats amazing! Great performance and misdirection! what a pro!

[@joelspence2011]

love di vernon a true legend of magic

[@vksasdgaming9472]

He was the guy who rediscovered and perfected so many tricks and swindles all kinds of never-do-wells had employed and made them legitimate, well-structured craft. No need to scam people out of their money if you can just show that you can do that and show it with great level of humor and skill.

[@ccardsshark88]

What's really fun is to impersonate him while doing one of your acts and see who gets it. You can immediately spot all the magicians in the room lol

[@Trickboy36]

Everybody who is anybody in magic does a Vernon impression. I met him once-so I’m entitled😀

[@tripjet999]

The REAL: magic would be to actually view 240p as "high" resolution! LOL.

[@RedgardH]

Thanks for uploading it in hi-res! But even if the performance is in good quality u can't see how it's done... It's amazing.

[@annetterozell4900]

It was great. Don't know where the three big balls came from. Loved it. You did a great job rosy and I loved it.

[@hingginchu]

brilliant!

[@anekupineko]

incredible!!

[@XAytherxRedictusX]

oh Dai, thank you for your wise teachings over your years. :(

[@arieljosetorrejon8541]

Wtf...bravo!!! Es todo un profesor de la magia.

[@AlanBorg]

Thank's profesor!

[@carpediem4887]

Only after several close examinations could I see him placing the big balls in the cups....he was very smooth and obviously very skilled at this illusion.

[@rwtv]

The man was a genius. RIP Dai Vernon.

[@brianweidner]

Wow, mad skills

[@andrewpycke3255]

For those interested in more like this, watch Ricky Jay and his 52 assistants. It’s tremendous

[@matejshirtslover6006]

Legend

[@xxDeathKnightx]

caught it all but the end, was pretty good

[@magic9man2]

Such natural movement

[@ASHSRV]

I'm not entirely sure if any from outside the UK has heard of a British illusionist, mentalist, painter, writer, and sceptic called Derren Brown. Although his talents are very diverse he's one of the best performers today and definitely worth a watch. Derren's the reason I'm watching Dai and he also mentions many other Magicians (mostly Victorian) throughout his special shows on channel 4.

[@gergalsgalolo40]

Master of all sleights

[@weeblelehmann466]

"Just nod your head" Brilliant

[@234301]

this is really amazing i am also a magician but i never seen this kind of slight of hand this is awesome

[@magochenkai]

Una muestra de el Gran Artista de la Magia; El Profesor Dai Vernon.

[@VincentDavis1]

Tyler Verner, yolur great grandfather is a GRAND MASTER!!

[@Pokemonplayer-qw3vu]

Dai Vernon is a Legend, the fact that young Magicians are doing his routines (especially Triumph) without even knowing the Name Dai Vernon is just awesome and the fact that every Cups and Balls Routine Ive seen over the Years has most of Dai Vernons Cups and Balls (if not the whole Routine) RIP Professor

[@rockywaters9592]

I totally agree about the Triumph bit, but Vernons Cups and balls routine is largely Max malinis. Dai states this fact on Revelations. That aside, it's a damn shame modern aspiring magicians are gravitating less to essentially who was the greatest.

[@whiteninjaplus5]

+Michael Rochford But they are though

[@anekupineko]

THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jason420jv1]

he could still do a good wand spin vanish at 78 , so awesome. PS R.I.P professor 👏😐

[@lackadaisicale492]

lol that is pretty damned good!

[@mynameisBS98]

The profesor is amazing. I know exactly how it's done but it still fools me. Lost legend

[@AceofDlamonds]

@Orangeflava I know but if you look carefully you can kinda guess....it's so quick and artistic, it's nothing short of brilliant

[@mandomartinez]

un poemaaaa!!!

[@FFrikimaster]

He was known as "The Profesor" for any reason xD, as you see...looks so simple, so natural, so easy to understant what is he explaining...he was a genius.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

The audience were lost, they didn't appreciate true skill. Mind you they didn't see him after he had about 10 whiskeys either!

[@DrakeMagnum]

holy balls he's terrific

[@HellishWolf]

I wish I could have met this man.

[@frbjoernLA]

Tyler, your grandfather was a Master Magician. Be very proud of him.

[@cboscari]

Who gives Dai Vernon a thumbs down!?

[@cardante979]

I think he did because he even talks about his "little boy" in the DVD series. He said: "my little boy came up with the name 'Triumph'"...
