Thought that I would let everyone know that in the 'Chrysalis' section of the Paul Brook forum http://paulbrook.proboards.com now has a list of items for both Code Read and Any Word On Any Object effects.

I have only loaded a few of them so far but more will be added as during the next few weeks.

This will enable you to perform both Code Read and Any Word On Any Object effects without making contact with the items. How clean is that ;)

Cheers,

-Paul

ust a heads-up!

The wonderful Kev Sheldrake (winner of the best way to laugh award ) has been working hard and focusing his super human brain power on a supplement to the 'Chrysalis of a Polymath'. Entitled 'Growth Hormones and Teething Troubles' it includes neat things that make some of the existing effects more user friendly and even faster still.

Excitingly, Kev offers a way to shave off a few extra seconds in the DOAD calculations I mention this as it seems to be mentioned a lot when people email me.

So owners, go to the supplements website mentioned on page 29 of the book get your wonderful free supplement, 'Growth Hormones and Teething Troubles'.

Oh, and don't forget to use the COAPM forum, which has got some interesting ideas and experiences on there.

Cheers,

-Paul

Fantastic book. The mental arithmatic will take some time but I can already see this becoming a favourite of mine.

May I also say, I find the supplement a harder way of remembering the numbers than what is written by Paul. Just my opinion for what its worth.

Gota love this book. I'm using more and more of it everyday. Currently using AWOAO and it ALWAYS gets a great response. Its a nice impromptu "Show us something" effect. Not a great fan of code read unless its used along with Any word. Am currently learning the tour which is going nicely. Also I love Thumbthing Beautiful...it didnt strike me when I first read it, but upon fourth read something clicked.."Wow....this could really freak someone out"..Brilliant :P

Cheers,

EZ
