I’ve long wanted a copy of the book ‘The Mind and Magic of David Berglas‘ unfortunately it was limited to just 1000 copies, and I didn’t manage to get one the first time round.. The book, written by David Britland, was described as the most eagerly-awaited book of the decade, three years in preparation, an enlightening account of over 50 years of miracles from the renowned, legendary man of mystery, David Berglas.

It talks about Berglas’ adventures on radio, television, in live shows, corporate shows, with stage illusions and consulting on major motion pictures, and his secrets. David Berglas techniques for his amazing phenomena, including his commercial Magic Square Routine, Newspaper Prediction, Blindfold Routine, ESPacology, chair Balance Routine, and many, many others. The remarkable Berglas effects, explained for the first time, including The Vanishing Piano in a ballroom, the Picture Post Challenge, the Box Over Regent Street, and The Ten shilling Note.

I was urged into looking for the book again when Genii magazine ran a full issues spread of Berglas this month.. With quite a lot of phone calls, and emails I managed to track down a copy in an auction house in New Jersey.. and given the current US to UK exchange rate.. I paid less than £150 for it..

Hopefully as long as the international couriers don’t lose it should be here within a week or so..
