The Mind and Magic of David Berglas

Posted by: andrew in Magishing


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..

    You need to look up Martinka & Co , they have had a few in their auctions in the past, but none at present. Good luck.. David was kind enough to sign my copy last time I saw him, making it now extra special.

    I have a copy and it really is as good as everyone says. Did I read this right? Someone here wanting $700 for it. I knew it was good but I didn’t think people would pay that for it…..I may even contemplate offers myself….:-)

    Hi,

    I have a copy which I’ve put up for sale on Magicweek.co.uk for £350 – though I’ve asked for the price to be changed to £300. Grab it from me at that price now, before it drops on Magicweek if you want to get a jump on it ;-)

    Failing a sale at £300 I’ll be putting it on ebay shortly – the sale by Jopp above finished at $560 which is about £380 so my price right now is pretty good I think…

    Anyway, contact me at jamie@underground-collective.com if you’re interested. First come, first served.

    Cheers,

    Jamie.
