Mentalism Billet Switches, Center Tear Technique, Billet Reading, and More
Billet work remains an essential and enduring tool in the professional mentalist's arsenal. The seemingly impossible ability to discern what a spectator has secretly written or drawn forms the foundation for many of mentalism’s strongest and most convincing, one-on-one mindreading effects. On this page, you'll find over a dozen guides on billet work for mentalists, from Center Tear and other billet reading techniques taught by the legendary Tony Corinda in "The Complete Guide to Billet-Switching," to C.L. Boarde's masterclass on on billet work, "Mainly Mental," Volume 2. Plus, the secret behind Volta's Master Method, Dr. Stanley Jaks' subtleties for the classic Three Billet Test, and even mind-blowing, ready-to-work performance pieces, like "The Borrowed Brain," and The N'Gai Dog Race Prediction. Whether you're looking to master the fundamentals or explore advanced billet techniques, you'll find invaluable insights and methods to elevate your mentalism in the range of PDFs we publish below.
