I wasnt one for billets. But if you get caught short a couple billets and you are away.
This is going be one of the great books on billets I feel. What else you got in the pipeline Mr B?

Many more supplements are in the works. I have something really nice based on another fellow’s work. I recently worked up the guts to ask permission for it, and surprisingly got the permission. That bit of business will be covered in the next supplement. Unless…
Penguin released a Billet Switch video this morning. From the demo, it seems that a few minor switch variants/subtleties I was working on (I have email correspondence to back it up if I ever want to publish them…probably won’t) were included in the video. I was really impressed by a line from Luke’s patter that I did not think of. He is very clever.
I am hoping against hope that the thing I recently got written permission for is not included on the Penguin video. That would be kinda lame, but that’s life…I suppose.
I ordered the video to find out, but for some reason have not yet been given access.
I’m sure that whatever’s on the video will be very good and well worth the $10.

It turns out none of my work-in-progress was on that video.
That's all I care to say about it, though.

Thank you so much. You may want to check out the Cassidy effect as well, as there is some good info there too.
I uploaded Silver Billet (a couple of typos typos were also fixed) to Payloadz.
The new file includes:
Switchcraft
The Billet Machine
Billet Proof
Silver Billet
For now, there is no price change.
Thanks,
Elliott

Just a quick note...
I officially tacked Back from the Dead onto the Switchcraft file and uploaded to Payloadz. The new file includes the following e-books:
Switchcraft
The Billet Machine
Billet Proof
Silver Billet
Back from the Dead
For now, the price is still $19.95.
Thanks again,
Elliott

Elliot, you are entirely marvellous - I haven't had time to read the new supplement yet, but your booklet is like the publishing equivalent of the lota vase...it keeps on pouring!

Even though it's been said countless times, it should be mentioned every single time a new supplement comes out.
Elliott, you are incredibly generous with your work. The fact that you are providing extra material that you could easily charge for (and we'd all willingly pay for), never ceases to amaze me.
The only way to begin to repay Mr. Bresler is to keep spreading the word. This is a phenomenal piece of work!

I too, am more than happy to add my name to the list of highly satisfied owners of this book. If there is anyone with a serious interest in mentalism (although some of the methods could be used in other areas of magic) you really must add this to your library.
It is extremely well written, easy to read and an excellent accompaniment to other famous works. You really will kick yourself when you eventually buy this and realise that you should have done so a long time before.
The value is staggering. You would pay more than the asking price for just one of the bonuses. That may sound like advertising or marketing hype but for once it is accurate. The service Elliott provides is also second to none.
People who know me know that I am not in the habit of lavishing praise unless it is really well deserved so if you are genuinely interested in this area you really do need to download this book.

I am now (as of ten minutes ago) the proud owner of Switchcraft and the seemingly endless amount of bonus stuff included with the purchase. It seems incredibly comprehensive and I'm sure it will raise my billet work to a whole other level (though that shouldn't be too hard considering I've never used a billet in my life

)
