Mora, Silent (Louis McCord). TLS from Silent Mora to Dai Vernon. A four-page TLS dated June 25, 1961 from Long Island Hospital of Boston. Mora describes in great detail the history and genesis of his famous Mora Wand Spin, used as an integral part of Dai Vernon's Cups and Balls routine. "The WAND TWIRL itself I saw VAN CAMP use at the CARNEGIE HALL, Allegheny, PA., about 1902. … I never did that with a fan. It was right from the start of learning that Sleight, a wand that I used. I had tried it with a fan TOO but never could do it." Two stains from tape, but overall good condition. Signed twice by Mora.
