This is the same guy who was carrying on here a few weeks ago and posting in all caps.

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
No, your handling is not very impressive, particularly when you claim to sell it for $120.

No, two different guys. The last one was French, this is an Italian. Must be something about europeans not understanding that the Berglas Effect is not simply a one method ACCAN and also not knowing where caps lock is. Weird.

Sorry, I must have been thinking of a helpful posting from M. Billot which must have been in another thread.

Thanks to the handy search function we learn that Stefano Nobile is the gentleman in question and that he is likely italian (Many of the comments he writes on the YouTube video -- the first one is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J-PT2RfEsc -- are in Italian. His first post is here: http://www.geniimagazine.com/forums/ubb ... 78/fpart/1 .

What is it about you English guys? Always trying to blame the French (or is it the Germans?)

For what it's worth, we tend to blame the English.

Perhaps better to ask Mr. Berglas if he's authorized anyone (or that person in particular) to go selling a version of his trick?

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
Any Card at Any Number is ancient. The Berglas Effect simply adds restrictions to it. David does not have any rights to the effect other than the version he uses.

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
He certainly would have some proprietary interest in the name "The Berglas Effect" -- unless you have his blessing, it should be called something else.

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
Richard is correct ACAAN is ancient. However.......
After exhaustive research and expenditure of monies I have obtained the exclusive rights to "Card At Position 13".
This is now MINE!!!!
Please contact me for franchise purchase information.

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
Mike Close tells us that one should not release a variant trick unless it is an improvement in effect, method or presentation. I have done all three with "Card at Position 15"!!!
Effect -- Position 15 is two cards more astounding than Position 13
Method -- My method is better. So there.
Presentation -- Think of all the presentational opportunities available with "15" that simply don't exist with "13".
As soon as I can get an edgy video of this MIRACLE onto youtube, I expect to sell out of limited edition ebooks. Order now.

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
Bill,
Would you consider a partnership on position 14?
Though I don't yet have the method worked out, I would be able to bring to the deal a NEW deck of cards.

To set the record straight, he quotes Darwin Ortiz here from his excellent introduction in Cardshark.

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
IMHO the rationalizations for making claims on variations are missing the word "significant". And that very notion tends to inform my opinion of those who offer such items.
I shall claim card at 52, "The Bottom Line", "It's Yours, Face It". So many things one can say about 52 and its factors. ;) May well be the epitome of evolution on that - as there's not much further one can descend with modification.

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
* Hold the presses... adding "Face Up Rise and Shine" and "Slacker Card" to that list of "card at 52" variations. Since the first is a face up application - it's a significant variation and worthy of it's own ebook. ;)

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
I always thought the Berglas effect was to see how people could market an amazing AACAN version.

Not surprisingly, my next review is of Tim Ellis's version of ACAAN. They're coming out of the woodwork!

Stan, Jon: There is a 20,000 word chapter on The Berglas Effect in my current draft of the book. I can guarantee that it will generate a lot of conversation.

I don't see that Jon's recitation of what Mickey Silver did has any bearing on the book I'm writing.

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
Guess I'm being a bit of a grouch about magic ad copy today. :( I'll blame my allergies. Sorry.
I've been waiting to explore the ACAAN effect till the guy who's made it his own choses to share his work.

Re: This is the "Berglas Effect"?
Jon, do you mean that you are waiting for Berglas to publish his work? He has.
While I'm very interested to read the Kaufman write-up, let's not pretend that the piece is unpublished -- there is a long write-up in the Britland book.
