Believe me, I’ve been late to the table many a day, but not sure how this was not discussed on this forum, but I guess you can’t know everything, and that’s why you got a decent-at-best coin guy like me bringing it to you. Smile Before you guys say, “What do you know,” let me lay down my cards first, so to speak. Smile I have been through Mnemonica a couple of times, and have played with stacks quite a bit on my way through becoming also somewhat decent with cards. So, I’m just sayin’. Smile

Anyway, this offering is a quite interesting aspect of your wheelhouse here, actually it’s exceptional and brilliant as to things spoken about on this part of the Café. My favorite from the project, “Berg FAST” is worth the price of admission all by itself, IMHO. I hope people here look more deeply into the project. It’s really well worth it and then some, but don’t just take my word for it…

Hey guys,

So I just received this from a buddy of mine that picked it up at Blackpool for me.

This was a sleeper hit at the convention. Sold out.

It should be on Michael Murray's site within 2 weeks or so for purchase.

Highly recommended.

There are 5 routines taught with the principle.

My favorites are:

ACAAN, Berglas style effect, and fooled most people at the convention

Open Prediction, actually, Michael told me this is his favorite routine from the project

Gambling style routine as well

And also, a Memory demonstration that is also killer.

I wholeheartedly recommend anything MindFx puts out, and this is no exception.

Congrats Daniel and Michael for a wonderful project.

Be on the lookout for it on the MindFx site in about 2 weeks or so.

You will want to pick this up.

Thanks

Alex



Still need a little more proof of excellence, besides it being considered in “The Trick of Year” category? Well, here you go…

Just checking back here, and thanks for all the PMs sent registering a big thumbs up for Berg F.A.S.T. I too think it truly deserves the acknowledgements, votes & greater overall appreciation for the project it’s gotten for Trick of the Year. In all honesty, while being very good, it probably is not the TOTY, but it certainly deserves at least Honorable Mention. And I’m glad I found this forum to mention it on, as it completely fits the criteria of “Shuffled Not Stirred” and the things you guys talk about here, though I’ve never read about the unique way this effect works. But I agree that it’s hard not to see the effect and FAST project as anything but extremely clever. Smile

Faster! Smile

Seriously though, this is a really good effect. Check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed as to how clever.

I know, right? Smile

I usually keep a deck sitting out on the table at home for when guests come by. It never fails to amaze them, especially with a direct hit, which has happened to me surprisingly often enough. Smile

To me, if one just presents the trick as casually as Daniel shows it, then it will work for you too. There are a lot of ACAAN effects out there, a new one seemingly every other day and some are interesting takes. But to me, I have seen little of any better than this Berg FAST. It uses one regular deck (that can be “shuffled not stirred”) Smile with nothing to have to remember or much of any math to deal with. It almost happens sorta automatically, you just instruct them and it happens from within their mind. Put it in the context given via the simple patter, and you got yourself one really clever little miracle…Berglas style!

Happy you gave it a try, and hope others do too, to see for themselves why it was such a surprising breakout hit of a card effect/ mentalism at Blackpool. Smile

I love how clean it is and that the spectator can deal the cards for the berg-fast effect, but I hate the procedure to choose the number. I guess there always are compromises in an ACAAN effect Smile
Eeeeeeeet hop disparu !
