A five-hour expert session on the purest and most powerful form of mentalism.
Many of the world’s leading mentalists agree that good billet work is the cornerstone for some of the strongest and most direct mentalism you can do. If you can master billets, you can master the art. Yet, with so many gizmos, gadgets, and electronics available, the use of traditional billets has largely gone by the wayside in recent years.
Alexander Marsh, in collaboration with The 1914, is here to completely change your view on billets. Get ready to discover how you can create true miracles with just a pen and a slip of paper.
"Your work on billets, the rationales etc are brilliant and your clear bowl Q&A at the end is totally worth the price of the download. Loved it!” Marc Spelmann
