From the ad copy:
It was a special time. It was 1968. He walked through the concealed doorway that led into the Magic Castle and came face to face with Dai Vernon! He returned night after night, for over twenty years, to sit with Vernon, to listen to him, ask him questions, to remember everything he could. In time, he wrote it all down, creating a fascinating and entertaining chronicle of Dai Vernon and the Magic Castle during an era like no other.
