I'm not sure why I bought this book. Though I'd heard of David Berglas, it wasn't a name that I was as familiar with as, say Paul Daniels or Ali Bongo ( going back a bit now eh?). However, it promised to be a collectionof some great routines alongside a historical narrative of his life so I thought "should be worth a good read"
A long and in-depth explanation is also given of David's method of predicting an object that a spectator will freely choose from a number of objects placed on a table. What's particularly revealing about this is not so much the method but the way that David executes it that makes the prediction seem even more impossible. Even though I now know "how it's done" I think I would still believe it to be a random selection if I were witness to it.
There's a ton of stuff in this and though some of it has dated in the presentation, I think the ideas would still easily impress a modern audience.
