This interview took place at the Magic Castle, Hollywood, California, on Dai Vernon's 80th Birthday, June 11, 1974.

The California artist Tony Delap brought Dai a deck of cards he had recently designed, and asked his friend, artist Jay McCafferty, to do the camera work. Jay was a recent graduate from the Art Department at the University of California at Irvine where Tony was teaching, and was experimenting with black and white video. It was a new medium for the artists.

Dai and Tony talked for many hours. All of the qualities that have made Vernon a legend of magic are in these rare tapes. False shuffles, the cups and balls, cards up the sleeve, stories of gamblers, magicians, philosophy and the art of magic-all the energy and wit of this century's greatest proponent of "natural magic".

These beautiful tapes have been edited and technically enhanced, with the help of Joe Leonardi, into two black and white videotapes, each with a running time of 58 minutes.
