Vernon, Dai. Risqué Silhouette cut by Dai Vernon. Cut from white paper, and depicting the legs of a man and woman in flagrante delicto; the act in which the couple is engaged can be better seen, and in fact demonstrated, when the silhouette is held to the light and moved back and forth. According to Bruce Cervon, the silhouette was cut by Vernon while in the Magic Castle library in February, 1965, and thrown into the garbage, from which Cervon rescued it. In an envelope dated 2/65. Very good condition. Rare.
