Dai Vernon Baseball Cap....I am not kidding.

It's being sold by a guy named Brandon Delgado, who will also sell you a beer stein with Dai Vernon's classic portrait image on it.

Here's his email: bdelgado@watson.wustl.edu

I;m waiting for the Dai Vernon Classic Thong for Men. :cool:

[Richard Kaufman]

Vernon did have big balls!

[Kevin Connolly]

Any word on the Dai Vernon farting doll?

[SquareCircle]

Vernon did have big balls!

And eight of them.
Al Goshman had sponge balls.

Any word on the [color:#FF0000]Dai Vernon farting doll[/color]?

Is that the one with the kung fu grip??

[Richard Kaufman]

I actually think the T-shirt is a nice design. It's a shame he assumed that Vernon's image is in the public domain and didn't make an attempt to come to an agreement with the heirs.

If you got it in extra-extra small and put in on a Vernon ventriloquist doll wearing a green W.E. Sanders expert at the card table thong with special farting sound-effects, I bet you could sell a lot of the world famous Magic Castle Chili. Pitch the act as "The Great Fartini" and make all the proceeds go to the Magic Cafe. That would be a holiday hit.

I can see the possible use of these for say John Carney's trick with Aces and a newspaper for covers (ref. Carneycopia), but other than that, I don't find it particularly worth purchasing.

I'm assuming it was authorized or else none of the credited sites would carry it.


[color:#000099]Actually, scratch that second thought. It is precisely worth purchasing just for Carney's trick. The patter would be the great spirits assisting in the effect of the trick a la Houdini Seance.[/color]
