Mr. Lorayne,
Welcome to The Magic Café. First, I want to add that I am a big fan of your card magic/books. Second, I would like to know of your relationship with the Professor, Dai Vernon. What was it like being around him, particularly since Vernon was quite passionate of the pasteboards as are you. Can you tell us any stories or moments about you and Vernon? Thank you so much! Roberto

Roberto: We were pretty close friends. I've already talked a bit about him in other "topics." Trouble is I don't know which ones, and I just don't know how to search for it. Hopefully, you do. So, good luck. I guess you should read all the posts and my answers, anyway. Right? HARRY.

Hi Pete: Yes, still do. It's getting more and more difficult to walk (used to run) up and down the three levels, but still here.
Knew Persi since he was in short pants. Obviously an intelligent person, knowledgeable magician. Haven't seen him or talked to him in years. He was one of the young people who used to hang out at "The Caféteria" on Saturdays. And, as you probably know, I used a few of his routines in books of mine, usually under a pseudonym. I did write to him not too long ago, asking about some credits that I'd like to include in my re-write of my 1960's books (he always ranted about credits), but I guess he doesn't care enough about them, 'cause he never answered. HARRY.
