Welcome to the David Berglas Digital Scrapbooks.
I am Marvin Berglas.
It wasn’t until my dad was in his nineties that we finally managed to persuade him to allow us to delve into his collection of archives.
These unlocked a wealth of memories of his life as the “International Man of Mystery” and included his work in films, theatre, radio and television.
All these are captured in numerous newspaper cuttings, photographs and memorabilia.
Now, for the first time - and in his own words, he looks back at some of his unique adventures and fascinating anecdotes - some of which I didn’t even know about !

David Berglas Meets Two World Famous Painters !
One of the great tricks of all time they really amazed but I won't give away the secret my hat off to you
No. Not in the 17th century. It takes place in the 18th century.
How did he make the chandelier shake?
RIP 🙏
Thank you for this ❤ David, an immortal legend.
Amazing work RIP 🙏
Very sad news that David Berglas has passed away at the age of 97. I only hope he lived long enough to hear the Beatles new song, Now And Then. I'm sure he would have loved it.
Fantastic absolutely brilliant
I am a magician and I am in complete AWE of THE MASTER
Amazing life and fine magician
Why does it say 7 even though the the show starts at 8.
Daylight saving time switch? Some locations do it, others don't, so it gets out of sync??? Possible?
What a neat bunch of illusions
David, posting at 96, you are a legend! If theirs anyways I could come meet you, please let me know!
You Sir, are very impressive!
the man with a face full of tape i remember it well all these years
thanks for posting this and your other stuff. there is far too little magic on youtube.
Very nicely done! I especially liked that they removed and re-inspected the blindfold after. That was very convincing.
Awesome and having read the book, knowing how this was done is just as amazing. Would've loved to have been in an audience at one of David's shows.
Wonderful story!
Kinda disappointed he didn't explain anything about the games they played in the film.
Its so wonderfull hearing from you. I love magic. I love it. Tore, 44, Norway.
Great story. Thanks David
Here's my David Berglas story ... I was at a magic convention and David was there to perform some magic. I managed to speak to him, saying that his TV show The Mind of David Berglas had inspired me to get in to magic. I noticed he was quite pleased by this. I mentioned that I'd heard of his Any Card at Any Number effect which sounded impossible and would he perform it for me. He graciously said he would. He gave me the cards to shuffle - now I'd had a couple of drinks and dropped some of the cards on the floor. This didn't phase David - I picked the cards up gave then back to David. I named a card and number and of course the card was at the chosen number. David Berglas is still the only magician I've ever seen that comes close to performing what appears to be real magic.
Wow, that's a trick where the method is just as entertaining as the effect.
Great stuff!
Greetings from 2021. Many thanks for the videos. I’ve been enjoying one or two of these uploads every Saturday. I’m baffled at why the viewing figures are not through the roof. Hopefully they’ll reach their deserving audience soonest.
I want one of those concert grands for 6 pounds....
Perfect!
It would be wonderful to see the actual rigged piano- but he probably junked that one-off prop very soon after the performance. So much time and effort for one trick (but well worth it)!
Great story! Great music!
Simply brilliant and amazing! Thanks for your story. Cheers 🥂
Wow, the circle is complete. I've always loved magic and Star Wars captivated me from an early age. A recent article about you caught my attention and I've been going down the rabbit hole of watching your videos. Willow is a great movie in my humble opinion. It captures the magic of cinema in so many ways that George back in those times at least seemed to have a special knack for. Thanks for sharing your stories with us and I wish you the very best and happy travels.
Lol, awesome :)
I came here after reading that profile in the NYT, too. I was actually fairly impressed with myself, as I pegged the piano player miming the playing, as well as the misdirection using the cigarette and the chandelier. But I couldn't figure out how you got the chandelier to flicker and sway. And I didn't figure out how you got the grand piano out of their. So clever.
The how is obvious, the stories are worth listening to.
Wonderful!!!!
That's a great story.
What a wonderful artist! Thank You for sharing these pieces with the world.
I'm far more concerned about the Actual Vanishing of Pianos around the world. As pianos have become more expensive, and compact electric pianos and guitars have taken over people's musical consciousness, the magnificence of large grand pianos has disappeared from hotels, ballrooms, theaters, night clubs and even some music schools, not to mention people's homes. A home piano is where friends and family can gather around to sing drinking songs, Christmas and holiday songs, and have karaoke parties. This has been a great tradition for centuries. Now, only a giant screen TV with huge speaker system sits, where in past days, a real grand piano brought love, laughter and life to everyone.
So the trick was "look.... An angel, (kick bear in nards)" john west : canned salmon: commercial?
What a boss! I've always been so curious about how magicians do these illusions...and I love that he felt OK to tell how he did this one. In no way does this diminish the artistry of the illusion -- it just makes me admire him (and the team who helped him) more! Bravo!!!!
This isn't an Illusion, it's a trick. Illusions play with the limits of your senses, makes you believe something is there when it's not, it lies to you. A trick is more akin to a problem needing to be solved where you see one person have the answer and you're amazing how good they are able to do it; think people who do math quickly in their head. Just about every Magic Trick can be figured out and when you do figure it there's always an "AH HA!". Even when you know how the trick is done, the amazing can still be there. For a great example of this see Penn and Teller's Cup and Ball trick.
@@MarceloAbans Well this trick did incorporate sound illusion, as the sound of the piano was coming from a piano behind a curtain, not where people assumed.
@@Sampoochy That isn't an illusion, that's misdirection. The sound is there, the sound is a hidden piano, it was reinforcing. Like when someone hands you a pack of cards like "Check these out!! See just a normal pack of cards." If they were using a recording, that'd make it an Illusion, IMO. An illusion is like mirage. See Pen & Teller's Coins & Fish Trick, I know I'm coming off as a STAN but they are great at explaining the intellectual relationship between tricks and honesty.
@@MarceloAbans "The Franssen effect is an auditory illusion where the listener incorrectly localizes a sound. It was found in 1960 by Nico Valentinus Franssen (1926-1979), a Dutch physicist and inventor." It's literally an auditory illusion, and notable because he performed it a few years before Franssen. You seem to be suggesting that the word illusion has a different definition to magicians, but to the perceiver, does it really matter? I say no, because I am not a magician, I simply enjoy magic. Perhaps you are a magician so it matters more to you.

Amazing. Hell of a profile in the Times, by the way. Congratulations! What a remarkable gift you've given the world with your creativity. Thank you!
Yes, absolutely fantastic. What brilliance.
The Times article brought me here as well. How does he do that card trick??
Why dont you still do shows?
Mr Berglas is in his 90s. It is wonderful that he shares these memories with us.
@@YvonneWilson312 yes indeed
Is there any footage of photos of that particular performance along with the other performers on the programme?
That is incredible HOW?
Absolutely perfect story! Thank you for sharing it.
