[Scrapbook] Scrapbook from Dai Vernon's 82nd Birthday. Compiled in 1976 by his hosts, the oversized (10 x 11 ¾") book bears Vernon's silhouette on the cover, and includes dozens of candid color photographs of Vernon and attendees of his birthday testimonial dinner, held at the Century Plaza Hotel, Century City, California. Among those pictured are Bill Larsen, Jr., Irene and Milt Larsen, Kuda Bux, Charlie Miller, and Mike Caldwell, and others. The second half of the book includes telegrams of congratulations and signed greeting cards to Vernon from Siegfried and Roy, The Reveens, Lou Tannen and Slydini, Marvyn and Carol Roy, Ross Bertram (including several gag photos and an ALS), Frank Garcia, Karl Fulves, Ed Mishell, and others. A program for the event is tipped into the book at the rear. Some wear, but generally good condition.
