Thank you, I hope you enjoyed the book.

The ninth bonus supplement is done. If all goes well, I will send it to my mailing list this Sunday (NYC time.)

Stay tuned…

Words fail me. Elliott, this work is due to go down in the history of mentalism!

Thank you Barry and Replicant.

I finished my little break and have resumed working on the supplements in progress. Hopefully, I will have the next one done in a fairly reasonable timeframe.

Wow, I picked this up about a week ago and been working through it. It is absolutely amazing, soooo much useful material, so clearly written, and the photographs are really useful.

This also has to be one of the best value billet manuals out there. Thanks so much Elliot for your work, and your generosity in adding all these amazing supplements.

If anyone out there hasn't picked up Mr Browning's advice and realized its time to get billet working I an highly recommend this as a very meaty introduction.

I must add my kudos to all the other comments. I got mine a couple of nights ago and printed it off tonight. I'm awed by how comprhensive it is. I'm pretty new to mentalism, but can see what an important work it is.

And I appreciated the follow-up email thanking me for the purchase and offering help with questions I might have.

Great job.

I know what you mean. Even double-sided, it could choke a horse, but I need to hold what I read in my hands. Easier to thumb through it on the subway, too.

Thank you monks and gypsyfish. I’m glad you guys liked the book.

Replicant…but consider how many trees were saved by making it an ebook in the first place :D

The next supplement is really coming along. I plan to have it out near January 1st.

ElliottB is an anagram of To Billet. Coincidence or something more...? :wink:

Thanks bamforth,

I hope you enjoy the book.

The next supplement should be released this week. It is done and I edited it onscreen. I want to print it though, as I always catch a few extra mistakes when reading a printed copy. I am not sure if it will be the last supplement of 2008 or the first of 2009.
