In addition to the insight provided by performers who knew Vernon, including Max Maven, Herb Zarrow, John Carney, Jackie Flosso, Ricky Jay, Steve Freeman and Persi Diaconis, it was an important opportunity for Vernon's children, Edward and Derek Verner, to share their own thoughts and feelings about their father, the magician. It also featured black-and-white silent footage of a younger Vernon demonstrating sleight-of-hand which we had converted and professionally retouched for the film. While the film was very well received, it was only available briefly for purchase as a VHS cassette, which was subsequently pirated. The film pops up regularly online, always low-quality copies of copies shared without any credit to those who made the project possible.

The greatest movie ever made..!
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
