Commentaire du premier anglais à avoir le livre de Kaufman sur Berglas:
Yay!! Mine arrived in Blackpool, UK, yesterday. I was away so i instructed it to be taken next door. I got home today and my neighbour brought it around.First impressions? Well, anyone looking for a quick fix ACAAN is going to be sorely disappointed! If you could not learn it from the Britland book, I doubt you will learn it from this.
So far I have really only studied the Equivoque section and that is fantastic. I was looking forward to this chapter more than ACAAN to be honest.
Now reading "He didn't touch the deck" and it's good to see the myth that the deck is NEVER touched finally dispelled! Also, I may be speaking out of turn, but I feel that for many buyers, the DVDs are going to be enjoyed more than the book.
I really mean that those who could not "get it" from reading between the lines from the other book will probably not be prepared to put the work in with this book either. As you know, it will take a lot of work, I'm sure you will agree. Memory work for me is not a proble. I've used a mem deck for 10 years and was using memory systems to do memory tricks in 1983 and love anything using mnemonics, but a lot of mentalists I know just will not even contemplate learning a stack as they assume it's too difficult. These are the people I think will not learn it from your book.
Réponse de Kaufman...
The book written by David Britland devotes a few pages to "The Berglas Effect," while the new book devotes 75 pages to it! We give a comprehensive detailed explanation of exactly how Berglas performs "Any Card at Any Number" and "The Berglas Effect." How could you not learn it from 75 pages of detailed explanation? You may not be able to do it because of the memory work involved, but surely you can learn it.
At least there's no need to read between the lines of this book. It's all very clearly spelled out.
Glad you think the DVDs are enjoyable.
But I'm mystified how your copy has arrived in the UK before anyone's in the USA!
