Bruce Cervon Castle Notebook, Vol. 5 - Book

They have been called legendary. That is incorrect. A Legend is based only partly in fact. Bruce Cervons Castle Notebooks are the real deal. When Bruce Cervon moved to Los Angeles to study with Dai Vernon he began keeping detailed notes on all the inside magic the Professor and others tipped to him. He also kept complete notes on his own original material much of which he reserved for professional use. Over years and decades his notebooks grew and grew and while he zealously guarded them never allowing others more than a glimpse inside the legend of Cervons Castle Notebooks grew among the elite of magic and justifiably so. From these notebooks came the material that filled five books of Cervons own magic and three volumes of The Vernon Chronicles. But this wasnt even the tip of the iceberg. The Castle Notebooks contain the material Bruce planned to include in future volumes on Vernon and himself as well as copious information on card cheating methods much of it relayed through Vernon unpublished material gathered from many of magics luminaries and Bruces own professional routines.
