THANK YOU PIGCAKE PATREONS
(list was too big so check out this pastelink)

Vernon used to fart in his cups before performing and then hand them out to be examined. HAHAHHAHA.
I've been in magic for over 50 years. Vernon was one of my mentors in magic but I've been thinking about this part about Dai for years. You nailed it.
Yeah, I saw a doc where his son said his dad came out and saw him do a race when he was six. He got 3rd place and Vernon told him not to make him come out unless he got first.
I have always agreed that Vernon should never have married. He was a terrible father. But the contributions to Magic that he made cannot be undervalued. He was called "The Professor" for a reason. I attended a lecture he gave back in the 1970s in Hartford Connecticut. He was scheduled to give a two hour lecture with a short break (The man was in his 80s then). But, at the two hour mark, he asked for a short break.
After the break, he did another TWO hours. He was a very generous and giving man.
No disagreements there whatsoever. His contribution and dedication are unmatched, it’s just a shame that you came at the expense of his children
"He was a terrible father."
"He was a very generous and giving man."
Pick one lol
@@jacobm5470 "As a father, ne was a good magician. Always vanishing when we needed him." Quoted from Vernon's son.
But as a magician, he was very generous to the magic world.
Nobody's perfect. None of us can claim to be squeaky clean all our lives

I think all of that is very fair yeah.
I was mainly responding to the line "He was a very generous and giving man." Since that is a very general statement that doesn't seem to hold up in a general way.
Can't believe I almost got a tattoo of this guy when I started magic
That’s f**king awesome...lol.
Really dodged a bullet there...
jesus christ this is so good - so informative and thoughtfully articulated - been a pigcake fan for years, but just rediscovered and love this straight shooter type of lecture
1. Christopher Nolan's film, The Prestige, proffers exactly the debate that you are hinting at in your criticism of Vernon. I would point to both lessons learned by Angier and Borden at the end of the film.
2. As Ram-Tzu said, "Are you so surprised to find God as linked to death and shit as he is to sunsets and puppies?"
3. How many times did you injure yourself learning his wand spin?
Tribes of the Moon, man. Tribes of the Moon.
"Who the fuck is this Ram-Tzu guy" - Sun-Tzu
The better I am as a person, the better I am as a magician. The better I am as a magician, the worse I am as a person.
Therefore, the better I am as a person, the worse I am as a person.
Maybe your dad is still trying to find that ellusive centre deal? He'll be back once he finds it.
Havn't watched magic vids in a while, but I enjoyed this pig cast.
Should “Dai Virgin” become a descriptive term?
Can you imagine Pig being overheard saying Dai Virgin lol...
Probably should be
I see you, PigCake. Beneath all this rough, no fucks given exterior, you're a good person... sorry for bringing it up. You're still a good magician 🎩
This is great piggy! Loved this ❤️
Very sad, but very true.
Then... by this logic... If PigCake is a magic Demigod...then PigCake is a terrible person?
Man I LOVE these
This was awesome bro
Pigcake is concerned with someone being a bad person? Hmm...
lost opportunity to shut up....
whats the deal? im curious
@@pinao9928 like Luca said... it's obvious that pigcake missed an opportunity to shut up.
Drumph>Vernon
@@PigCake talk about great fathers... I bet Vernon's kid and donny jr could swap stories.
Comments, concerns, questions
This is how you lured me in back in the day. Beneath the sexism, racism, insecurity and crude jokes there's a genuine magic nerd. I love people with real passion. I guess I love you piggy xoxo.
I told him to make NFT's...months ago, chico. Put that into perspective.
*Bad magicians exist*
Pigcake:
Love ur videos man lol
Why people care about entertainers personal lives I'll never know.
I’m glad you put this on here. Yeah arts can use someone that dedicated but definitely it’s better when their alone. Well like no wife and kids if you won’t be there for them.
And there’s been people that dedicated who neglected family but yet still lived them and tried to make up for that. I mean a lot of artists that become big I have those kinds of problems. But some of them will actually know their grandchildren because they care that they hurt people. Going 98 years is like you don even care but hey I don’t know the man.
Why y’all even care tbh this guy a menace
As a kid in the 1970's, I loved magic. Unfortunately, all of those that I watched or met... they had HUGE egos, which really turned me off. The Disneyland magic shop was the only place I found, that instilled the wonder of magic.
I've always heard about that store but I've never actually went to it when it was open. Miami was apparently a big spot for magicians and that apparently died a death during the 90s
@@PigCake Steve Martin used to work there when he was in his early twenties.
Hey, Piggy! Did Vernon write any books on how to perform card tricks to ladies for the purposes of getting laid? I've tried "The Trick That Cannot Be Explained" but it didn't get me any action. Your thoughts, please.
Learning magic to get "female action" is a losing proposition. To become good enough to impress anyone takes a lot of practice, when you could be learning how to talk to women without a deck of cards in your hands all the time.
Dai Vernon touched me at a very early age. His fingers were like little ballerinas ferociously flicking hither and thither all over my sponge balls. He was a master at keeping secrets and he taught me the value of keeping my mouth shut.
The sponge balls inside ya square pants?
Finally someone open up
Enjoying this recent philosophical turn Mr Pig, apt and accurate, I was going to share a supportive quote from Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" but I'd already hit the "Comment" button.
Magic is addictive
Oddly specific. Some woman is accusing you of being an abuser and you’re not.
Or maybe you are I don’t know you.
But that didn’t sound hypothetical. I know off topic.
Never meet your heroes
I did. He was awesome! (I am 72 years old BTW)
Great production value.
So he was the Alfred Borden of his time then?
Gee, what a nice, heartwarming video.
Dude I’m so glad someone else thinks so. After I saw the Dai Vernon documentary, my view of him changed. As a magician, great but as a PERSON... not that great. Especially hearing the “if he didn’t like you..” stories.. sounded like a dick to be honest.. not to discredit his achievements in magic, of course. Thanks for making this video man.
how do we know he was a great magician? all the videos i can find of him hes horrible, granted he was old, but he describes how he did some of his routines and they were BAD. truth is we have no idea how good he actually was.
@@finallight1061 In 1976, a group of magicians from Springfield Massachusetts travelled to Hartford Connecticut to meet "The Professor"
It was four hours of some of the most insightful thoughts and techniques we, as neophytes in magic, ever saw.
Talk bad about the Professor if you want. You probably never met him. I did, and I am to this day a disciple of the "Vernon Touch".
Very interesting, completely agree with your take on family, well said Mr Cake
Thank you for your your intellectual opinions on these topics. Your input really applies to all forms of art. #1 be true to family and true friends. #2 Do what you love and be humble and be your ever evolving self. #1A or is it # C? follow the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have done to you ...and take no shit from anyone. Thanks P!

How
Aren't you a Trump supporter? No one who supported Trump has any moral high ground on which to stand upon to criticise others from, sir. (If I am misinformed and you didn't, just ignore my comment.) And btw, 'disbalance' isn't a word.
what
This seems so random?
When all the other candidates are devastatingly lame, being a Trump supporter doesn't really mean anything.
Cool, you're one of those losers who has to try and drag politics in to everything. You must be a really fun person.
Found the NPC
Hope you keep these up. Like learning a little bit of magic history without getting too virginy. I understand that is an oxymoron in and of itself.
This video is ridiculous.
The foul language on this video is quite disgraceful.
