I love Berglas. He gave a lecture at our society in London. The best tip he gave about making equivoque look good, is not speak on your breath. It doesn't make it seem lik you are thinking. And the daring of this man is brilliant. He literally said to another member: "In a moment you are going to pickup one of these two boxes and I want you to have a good look at it." And those words pickup and examine. And on his breath he asked: "are you happy with that choice?" -"Good, I want you to feel absolutely happy with your choice." And as of that moment he started to prime the spectator that it was their choice. Probably the best lecture I have seen. It's great that you have a copy! It's priceless!

Great story. I wish I had seen that lecture

I so wish that this book had been published in greater numbers. Just so more people could learn what a genius he is.

I agree, and I think the same can be said for many limited edition books like the Harbin book or some of Mike Caveney's histories. These should be out in the hands of whosoever will to better our art.

Fascinating video about this man and his book. Even though it was short and that is enough for me at this point. Maybe one day I will get lucky and find a copy of the book.

@DavidDellman 2 года назад

The book provides an excellent biography. It is possible to get your hands on one though they are a bit pricey

This book was probably released more as a testament to Berglas' astounding career than anything else. For a lot of these routines, there has never been video footage, so the book was the only mean of recording for posterity. As you said, it's really not a book of material you can perform unless you're already huge. When it was released, most of the people who got it were people involved with big productions, magic for big theatres but mostly for TV. I remember "normal" magicians being grumpy about the lack of material that didn't involve behind-the-scenes work. But you can learn a lot about thinking big from this book, and that's where its power lies

David Berglas is fantastic, he has a RU-vid channel where loads of great stories about his life are told that is well worth checking out (the vanishing grand piano story is hilarious). I'd *LOVE* a copy of this book, but as mentioned, it's not cheap or easy to track down.

@DavidDellman 2 года назад

He is a truly brilliant entertainer and an inspiration to many

Once again an awesome review. I don't have the book, but the review was helpful. I enjoy practical effects, so I don't think this book is for me.

@DavidDellman 2 года назад

For practical magic try Ted Leslies Paramiracles or Prism by Max Maven

This is just amazing. I remember when I saw the first time a version of ACAAN. It was this version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KjMnQhRszpk.html from a guy of the local IBM club. However the Berglas Effect is on another level. The dedication to magic from David Berglas is amazing. Thanks for another great video.
