Legendary magician. TV and stage. A proper genius of the craft.

Apparently the secret to the amazing 'Berglas Effect' has supposedly died with him. RIP

Up until lockdown killed it, my side job was magic. I loved it. Berglas is a legend. Such a great innovator.

I haven't really got back into it since the end of the lockdowns and then I ruptured a tendon in my right hand (Mallett Finger) that did not heal well and I haven't had the motivation to relearn stuff with different fingers.

Maybe one day.

He was a very quiet gentle man and the ultimate master magician .

Oh my word.  I remember him but had given him no thought for - I'd guess - decades.  That's very sad to hear but he did enjoy an extremely good innings, bless him.

RIP.
