🃏 4. Berglas Effect Article

NY Times writer David Segal visits David Berglas at his house in North London in order to interview him about the Berglas Effect and ask him if he can perform it for him. Rest to say, at 94, Berglas did not have a pretty reaction haha.

This is a beautiful article on one of card magic's most famous effects, with a few stories from Steven Cohen and others. Also, the comments are hilarious to read.
