The Trick of the Blackpool Convention 2022

F.A.S.T by Daniel Dorian Johnson has earned the title of ‘Trick of the Convention’ at the 2022 Blackpool Magic Convention. It’s no wonder this product completely sold out early on Sunday morning, thanks to the buzz surrounding Berg-Fast!

No advertising, no flashy promotions, and no big-name endorsements—just the undeniable strength of the material and word of mouth. The F.A.S.T project features FIVE remarkable effects, each utilizing a proven system to create powerful performances that are deceptively easy to execute.

(We will continually expand the material as we develop new content based on the core system.)

BERG-FAST:

The first effect is a brilliantly clean rendition of the ‘Berlas’ effect. A card and a number are chosen by the participant solely in their mind. Despite handling the deck themselves, their thought-of card is always found at the number they imagined. It doesn’t get cleaner than this.

FAST & OPEN:

The second effect is an impressive ‘Open Prediction’ where the participant freely selects a playing card, and the exact position of that card is revealed to have been predicted beforehand. This effect is incredibly fair and can be performed almost entirely hands-off, making it a favorite of Michael Murray.

FAST-MEMORY:

The third effect showcases a remarkable memory demonstration, allowing the mentalist to memorize a full deck of cards in under a minute. This enables them to not only identify the card a participant freely chose but also to reveal the exact positions of the three mates to that card. Daniel has simplified the process of “FALSE MEMORY,” making this standout effect from his first project, “Mind Over Matter,” nearly self-working.

JACK-FAST & FLUSH-FAST:

The fourth and fifth effects combine to create a powerful gambling demonstration. In this routine, the mentalist showcases the legendary ‘Phantom’ deal, leaving the audience convinced of their superior card handling skills—without requiring any complex maneuvers.

All effects can be set up in minutes, and we provide guidance on how to prepare any deck of cards, from luxurious collector’s editions to the most basic Christmas cracker packs!
