I haven't been this excited about a mentalism video for ages... The thought behind, and the motivation of, your billet peek make it perfect. It's probably one of the best peeks out there. Your Bowl of Billets is simply wonderful, you've provided such a great structure and variety of effects and reveals, it's fantastic, very well done. It's great thinking.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eMarc Paul\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Thank you for releasing material you've actually performed in front of real audiences and in PR situations under the eagle eyes of journalists. I love your peeks and especially your Q\u0026amp;A, which has a great structure.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eHarry Lucas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, mastering billets turned Alexander Marsh from a self-professed so-so mentalist into the HEADLINE ACT for one of the world’s biggest touring magic shows!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd guess what? He’s ready to spill ALL the beans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut first, what the devil is a billet?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn mentalist lingo, a billet is just a fancy way of saying a small slip of paper you use during your performance. They might look harmless to punters, but once you get your hands on Alex’s billet handling secrets, you'll be crafting mind-reading displays that would make even the most sceptical audience raise an eyebrow (and maybe a few other body parts).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach lesson is neatly broken down into manageable bits, so whether you’re a complete newbie or a seasoned pro, there’s gold to be mined here. If you're just starting out, you’ll be reading minds after just three lessons (seriously, it’s that good).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd if you’ve been around the block with billets, you’re in for a treat. This is a treasure chest you’ll keep digging into. Not only will you pick up the finest peek since Acidus Novus, but Alex is also sharing his ENTIRE hour-long Q\u0026amp;A act from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014 (and it only involves some pens, a clear bowl, and a few envelopes — talk about minimalism).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, how did this little gem come about?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the 2020 lockdown (remember that delightful time?), Alexander filmed a two-hour billet lecture in his kitchen and sold it directly to magicians via his website.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was SO GOOD that two of Britain’s top mentalists, Marc Paul and Marc Spelmann (you know, Magician X from BGT), jumped on the bandwagon and endorsed it immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Alex was only going to sell 100 copies (because he’s a man of his word, apparently).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe’ve had so many requests for a billet course, we practically begged him to let us share it with more magicians. But he held firm, wanting to honour that original promise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, we made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe proposed to re-shoot the entire lecture with multiple cameras over two days at The 1914 studio. We asked him to dive deeper into the content and even roped in fellow billet aficionado Lewis Le Val to add his two cents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, he caved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat started as a two-hour lecture exploded into a FIVE-HOUR MASTERCLASS (and then some)!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is officially our biggest release ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWelcome to the DEFINITIVE guide to billets.

Then, Alex will reveal his sneaky improvement and a fun routine that lets you divine your spectator’s secret cocktail ingredient — it could be anything (unicorn tears, anyone?).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover a mix of classic and modern billet switches, including the Annemann Switch, the Al Baker Switch, and Alex’s own Unfolding Switch that requires ZERO misdirection (because who has time for that?).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster how to make a secret billet switching envelope on the fly, plus how to craft a more robust switching envelope with some prep for added deception.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlex will show you how to read stolen billets and share a treasure trove of routine ideas, aided by master mentalist Lewis Le Val. They’ll provide contrasting presentations for the same effects — perfect for those mystical performers or the more upbeat types.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet the inside scoop on Alex’s outrageous billet peek. If you’re a fan of Acidus Novus, you’ll be in heaven. You can do this right under your spectator’s nose, while they’re burning your hands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn even more powerful effects, including Alex’s take on Bob Cassidy’s Fourth Dimensional Telepathy; a captivating routine for both close-up and stage where three spectators have their thoughts divined, one at a time, in a theatrical style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinally, Alex will stitch everything together to teach you an entire stage act! By the end, you’ll be ready to entertain a full house for an hour, using hardly any props. This is Alex’s simple-yet-genius Q\u0026amp;A act that stole the show at the Edinburgh Fringe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThere’s loads more packed into this course, but I’m running out of space to tell you about it. Dive in now and see just how powerful your billet work can get.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForget the latest flashy gimmicks. This is the RAW essence of mentalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaster billets.
