David Berglas must pop in here now and again and pee down the inside of his leg at the comments made by some people in here, who claim they know stuff but evidently do not. Seriously he must sob with laughter.
However, in all fairness, experience and knowledge, I guess, can only come with time (I feel I should stop now shouldn't I?). But that's no use for being as thick as some of you evidently are!!! Sorry.

I never claimed my routine was "the Ultimate" or anything; ACAAN or otherwise. On the contrary, it is nothing of the sort. It is simple and achieves the goals for which I set out to meet (impromptu in nature and does not involve a stack). The subtext of my routine is a "mind-reading" routine, not an inexplicable coincidence (so the perfect ACAAN would not make sense with my goals anyway). However, If I could perform Mr. Berglas' routine, I am sure I would. Mine routine is not an ACAAN and it will not, does not, nor ever can, hold a candle to Mr. Berglas. It is all-together different, so your enthusiastic fury is ill-focused. A quick and polite PM would have settled your concern. With regards, Sean |

I know nothing about the subject but the berglas effect doesn't seem to be a legend, at least according to this video..:

Ok this is a brand new presentation from famous chinese magician Lu Chen about the berglas effect ( he already done it once, but this time it"s way more impressive)...well he throw balls into the public to have a random number and a random card and he never touch the deck, it's dated from the 5th july 2010 so very recent, its quite long and in chinese but well you know the effect so you ll be able to follow thru ( for non chinese speaking, the girl choose 9 of spades ).
Last thing ...the cards are dealt face up... ! As for the randomness due to the ball throwing I find it more impressive than the marc paul one ( which was already awesome ). heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCaBwZ3F6Ow |

For your information, the Stewart James' method for "51 Faces North" is fully described in "Penumbra" N°1 - May/June 2002.

A solution found after his death, was published in the inaugural issue of The Penumbra (May-June 2002). So I guess it wasn't his method. Anyway interesting discussion guys! I love ACAAN, and I'm working on one with a deck of cards and a barcode from a freely selected book lol My favourite ACAAN type trick ahs to be Subtle Scam! Anyway, I wonder if there is a proper Berglas Effect, and will it be released?! Thanks and best regards, Kyle MacNeill |

If you asked them just before they began dealing, the point in the deck where they were to stop - they could tell you only a vague statement, not where they would actually stop. Nor could you. I see a lot of magicians who hang onto hope beyond hope and refuse to acknowledge the published solution for what it is: a published solution. You have a published solution. It is credited to Mr. James. To say anything other than this is a published solution of Mr. James is nothing more than speculation. If you can find any reference where Mr. James wrote that there was more than one solution, I'd be interested. |

I consider my solution to the Berglas Effect an ultimate for walk around and impromptu performances.
The simple method is hidden due to the apparent effect and all of the stipulations are adhered to. I am very proud of this solution. There is NO sleight of hand and a normal borrowed deck of cards can be used. It really is that simple. There are no additional props required or the need for equivoque or any other procedure which limits the choice of the participants. I agree that the real Berglas Effect is the effect Berglas himself had on his audience as well as other magicians and this in turn, helped to create the legend that surrounds him. Fraser. |

The only trade off seems to be no shuffling (which is extremely minor given this performance). My only thought is the spectators are stooges---if not, I got no clue. |

There is no shuffling when Berglas performs it, either.

There is The Berglas Effect, and then there is ACAAN which sets out to replicate it, yet rarely follows the true presentation path of David's masterpiece. The shuffling, mentioned above, is an example of falling outside the guidelines in order to "bring the effect home."
