2011 大师重量级作品 David Berglas - The Berglas Effects
2011-07-20 23:00阅读：
2011GENII魔术公司出品发行David
Berglas个人重量级作品The Berglas
Effects。
巴格拉斯效果（Berglas
Effect）一直都是魔界的传奇性纸牌魔术，许多西方魔术师都在热烈讨论和研究这个效果。自从刘谦在电视节目表演类似效果的魔术之后，巴格拉斯效果也开始成为东方魔术界都热烈探讨的话题。
巴格拉斯效果是让两名观众个别说出心中所想，一人任意说一张牌（比如黑桃5），一人任意说一个号码（比如说20），之后就发生了黑桃5就在第20张牌，最神奇的是魔术师在整个过程没有动到牌。
如今，这个传奇性长达60年的纸牌魔术将会公开，因为Genii公司为David
Berglas出书，由Richard
Kaufman撰写，大约400页，其中60页是关于巴格拉斯效果，并拥有3D眼镜和3片DVDs，售价为125美金。

DVD 2: David Berglas Live
1. The Mind of David Berglas (TV Show, Excerpt, 1986)
Card Magic Segment. David’s last television series consisted of six
episodes of 45 minutes each (series in the United Kingdom often run
for only six episodes) as well as a one-hour Christmas special.
Episode Four contains a segment with guest star Omar Sharif, as
well as David’s somewhat hurried performance of an assortment of
card effects for members of the studio audience. The production of
the series was fraught with difficulties, and financial constraints
meant that sometimes there was no time for rehearsals or reshoots,
and the camera angles, stage directions, and just about anything
else that would have been perfected through rehearsal was not.
Footage that should not have been broadcast was, and as you’ll see
in the card magic segment, some of the spectators appear to be in a
deep coma and barely able to speak. Despite all of these
difficulties, David perseveres—which is perhaps a better lesson
than watching him do it all perfectly and easily with cooperative
spectators.
For Omar Sharif, David Performs:
Matching the Spectator’s Cut with Estimation
Estimation and Revolution Berglas Style
For Laymen, David Performs:
Aces and Eights
Name a Card with Two Cards; Faux Transposition and Palm
Think a Card with a Fan and Berglas DL
Think a Card with a Fan and the Card on the Table
Think a Card with a Spread
Name a Card and Berglas DL
Name a Card and the Spectator Cuts to the Bridge to Reveal the
Card
Name a Card and Reverse
Name a Card with Two Cards; Classic Force Face Down Twice
For Omar Sharif, David Performs:
Spectator Cuts to the Bridge
2. An Evening of Mystery and Imagination at the Lyric Theatre,
London (1991)
A charity show performed by David, it is the only visual record of
his full-evening one-man show. Here we present the portion of the
show which comprises David’s full card act.
Aces and Eights
The Berglas Effect
Estimation Cut and Cross Cut Force

3. The Magic Circle at the Victory Services Club (Excerpt,
1992)
Filmed on a hot night when the normal stage lights weren’t working,
David’s lecture/show was illuminated entirely by one hand-operated
spotlight. Only the first half of the card-portion of the show is
presented here, which contains a performance of material of which
no other recording exists.
Aces and Eights
The Double Berglas Effect
Think a Card with a Fan and Flashing a Palmed Card to the
Audience
4. Magic Circle Collector’s Day Demonstration (1996)
For the 21st Magic Circle Collector’s Day in 1996, Roger
Crosthwaite gave a talk on the history of the trick known as “Think
a Card.” After the lecture, David, then President of the Magic
Circle, gave a brief demonstration of his style of card magic.
Unknown to David at the time, but fortunately for us, the
performance was recorded and sold by The Magic Circle for several
years as part of a series of videotapes of various Collector’s
Days. The circumstances are far from optimal: he was performing for
people he had known for many years, and it was also quite early in
the day. One of his spectator/assistants is also trying to “catch
him out,” as the British say. The video is valuable for us because
it captures David performing card magic in an impromptu setting in
his prime, doing things which do not appear in any other visual
record. The double and triple coincidence effects at the end are
perfect examples of how David can weave together a
reputation-making effect during a performance.
The Berglas Effect
Think a Card with a Fan and the Card on the Table

5. The Young Magician’s Day at the Magic Circle (2006)
On stage at The Magic Circle’s headquarters in Stephenson Way,
David gave a talk and then performed a series of card effects for
members of the Young Magician’s Club (YMC). There are several items
in this demonstration that show David taking advantage of
situations that arose during performance in order to produce some
truly miraculous effects.

Pocket
