I watched one of the videos. It reminded me a bit of the lazy man's card trick! Maybe that is part of the method! Not that method :) I cannot comment on the book since I haven't read it and I do not wish to comment on the performance. I shall merely say that I wish the author the best of luck. Crea...

Tom's review was honest, as I said, but he focused his review on some parts only, thus making the initial review incomplete. Not in his opinion, as you stated, you contacted him crying and he said he had nothing to add to the review. Please, mr goat, can you stop polluting this thread ? You are cle...

The link I provided above is for the second version of the book, MirACAAN 2. Maybe it would have been better to start a new thread about it then, rather than remind people how you react to negative criticism. Or, you know, buy an advert ;) No, it is not my style to begin a new thread, trying to era...

Here is an official review of MirACAAN version 2 I prefer the "official review" right here on the genii forum, where the product was not recommended. Seriously though, if you want an advert, buy one, they are disgustingly cheap. No need to keep bumping a thread where you got a bad review ...

Here is an official review of MirACAAN version 2, for those who speak french... http://www.virtualmagie.com/articles/critiques/lectures/miracaan-2-dorian-caudal/ A short extract from the conclusion: "MirACAAN 2 from Dorian Caudal completely fulfills the conditions of the ACAAN effect, and you c...

In the next few months, new version of MirACAAN coming out ! Thanks to the comments, including the one by Tom Frame, I have created a simplified and easier to perform version. No complicated things to memorize. Check out the new demo: in english : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm84iP7TWBI in french...

Hello ! I have created a free and private facebook group for the owners of MirACAAN. It will be a good place to discuss new ideas around MirACAAN, suggestions, advice, anecdotes, reports of how it went when you tried it for spectators, etc. I will add in the next days a wonderful idea received yeste...

Congrats Damian !

It is funny because your daughter has the same name as a stack

By the way, I love this name. Congrats again.

You really sound like a whiny little girl. If you can't handle opinions, stop releasing products. You're making yourself look bad with all this... Ahah! That made me laugh ;) I can honestly promise you that I am not that kind of person. Of course, I CAN handle opinions, but only if they are honest ...

I contacted Tom Frame yesterday because despite the fact that this review is his own opinion, that I truely respect, I think it was really important to know if he had read the entire book. He told me yes. But from his review, full of exposure (that is a shame), it seems not. But as he told me that h...

friboudi

Thanks for the kind words about the book, illustrations, tables, my thinking and my creativity, Tom, that is really appreciated. You mention that there is “misleading hype”, this is simply not true. The effect is always hands off. Maybe you did not read the entire book, because as reading you, you o...

Do you know if there is any equivalent for this app for Windows Phone?

friboudi

So many cool effects recently released. Reading and learning about each one is like having a second job. Here's what I narrowed my choices down to. 1. Mark Mason Presents: X-Act by Mike Kirby 2. SkyCap by Luke Dancy Paul Harris & co. 3. Extractor by Rob Bromley & Peter Nardi 4. Stash by Dan...

Richard Kaufman wrote:David's response to me when asked about that was: "It's already in the text."

Which text? You mean the explanation for this second performance of the Berglas effect the same evening, on Bull Theatre Show, can be found somewhere between the lines in the book?

friboudi

Personally, since I don't use a memorized deck, "Think a Card" has been the most valuable thing from the book for me. Considering the type of reaction it gets, it was worth the years I spent working with David on the book. Exactly, Think a Card is really powerful when executed well. It's ...

friboudi

Now that the book is sold out, I'd like to how many of you peform ACAAN, and how often?

friboudi

How often do you perform ACAAN or the Berglas effect now? At the moment, I perform more "Think of a card".

friboudi

I don't know what you mean by my "mailbox is full." It's never full! Can't be. I just don't accept private messages through this Forum but anyone can email me at genii@geniimagazine.com or moobooks@verizon.net Ok, sorry for that Richard, so please erase the link from my previous message a...

Genius!

It is a simple advert... RK mailbox is full. I do that to allow him to delete this file and stop the guy who shares the pdf unconsciously.

friboudi

Richard, you should do something for a guy who sells the pdf version of your book for 20$... Just PMed you for the link

Cheers

Yiyong wrote:Friboudi, just because the Berglas Effect is on a piracy site doesn't mean it is Richard's book. You can't be serious. And you expect us to thank you?

Allez...calme-toi mon pote.

I was joking by asking that! But apparently you did not get the joke ;) French "humour"

mrgoat wrote:Great idea to put the link to it so everyone can see it. Really smart!

EDIT: just looked and it's a huge piracy site. I'd recommend removing the link.

Instead of being ironic, you should thank me for avoiding the book to be again on a piracy site ;)

friboudi

Richard, I think you should delete this file (look at the post of August, 19th): (link removed)
Somebody sells the pdf version of the book for 30$. Bash him ;)

Lu Chen performs his ACAAN here (last week at EMC), in front of David berglas himself: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjgzOTIzMTEy.html

friboudi

Jeremie and Wisdom Kim are the new french overflow ;) Anyway, I am deeply plunged into the book, and it is a great reading, thanks again Richard :) I was wondering something, do you think DB card magic is made and constructed to be looked at as a spectator or is its impact only stronger when you are...

friboudi

Is this thread only going to be devoted to ordering and reception issues rather than deep discussion about the book itself? :/

friboudi

Why the thread about the book has been locked on the magiccaf?

Cheers

friboudi

I am deeply into the book, reading everything in order, slowly, taking the time to practice ;) It's a wonderful book, thanks for everything Richard and David. I also liked the Peer Gynt parallel :)
The DVDs are also wonderful, first class, very useful to learn and train.

What a pleasure to discover, this morning, a small green slip of paper in my mail box (from my building superintendent) announcing me I had received a package. I rang him, and he gave me the package I had been waiting for so long: The Berglas Effects. Thanks Richard and David, the book looks wonderf...

Tout vient point qui sait attendre, Philippe!

Thanks gberard ;)

Just an update Richard: in which country the book has landed yet? Or "not" landed, to be more precise (according to the listing of preorders you had)... Is the UK and Australia the only lucky people to have DB arrived at home? :) I wonder why it takes much time to arrive in Paris than in L...

friboudi

Richard, do you know if UK people who received it ordered from DB or from you (printer)?
And have you heard about french people having received it?

friboudi

Any updates, Richard, on when the books were shipped outside US? 27 of May, as the other US orders? Anyone has received it in Europe?

friboudi

In which country are you Sean?

friboudi

Thanks for the update Richard, that is nice from you!

Patience... ;)

friboudi

No problem Richard :)
But according to you, what could be the longer time period for the books to arrive(hypothesis: the printer has chosen the worst and longer shipment method)?

friboudi

So it appears that nearly everyone in the US has received it ;)
Richard, is it possible to have an update (due to all the new pieces of information you got from your printer) on when the books are going to arrive in France?

Cheers

friboudi

Nice request Joe, and can people do the same for France? I assume it will arrive at the same time in both countries, but just in case... :)
