The Vernon Touch was the name of Dai Vernon's column in Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine. His column ran from 1968-1990. Dai recorded his thoughts on hundreds of different magicians he saw perform from all around the world and gives advice on the creation and presentation of magic.

Vernon submitted his columns to Genii, often procrastinating until the last minute, when Bill Larsen would corner him and plead with him to write it. He would sometimes submit them hand written, recording some of them for Bill to transribe and even on the back of Magic Castle placemats.

The columns were put together in a hardcover book of the same name, with hundreds of photographs of Dai Vernon and friends, published by Genii Booksin 2006.
