The Blurb

Hi Folks,

I’m Elliott Bresler and this is where you can buy my new
e-book.

The billet switch is one of the most powerful tools in
Mentalism. I always marveled at the wonderful assortment of
entertaining billet routines in the literature. Later, I
came to realize that those effects are just the beginning.
With a billet switch, you can present just about any mental
effect imaginable. There really are no limits.

Unfortunately, I’m absolutely terrible at sleight of hand. I
tried the classic switches and failed miserably. I searched
and searched for easier billet moves.  I found a few “close
calls,”  but as much as I practiced, I was never able to get
100% comfortable with them.

Finally, I decided to try creating some new techniques;
moves so easy that even I could do them.

I set two goals for each technique. They were:

1) The move had to be VISUALLY PERFECT

I perform close-up and one-on-one mentalism. My spectators
are usually seated right in front of me, and sometimes stare
directly at my hands. I needed techniques that could
withstand that kind of scrutiny.

2) The move had to be EASY enough that I could actually
pull it off

Thankfully, after much hard work, I finally succeeded in
meeting my goals. Over time, I created a series of moves
that are so easy, even I could do them. A number of the
techniques could even be classified as near SELF WORKING.
Believe me: if I can do them, you can too.

Of course, the book isn’t just about moves. Once you master
the techniques (and you WILL master them), you’ll want to
put them into action right away.

In the book, I’ll teach you the theory behind billet
routines. When we’re done, you won’t need other people’s
effects. You’ll have all the tools required to create your
own customized routines anytime you want. Of course, as
examples, I also teach a lot of my own strong material.
Still, nothing beats a customized effect of your own
creation. You’ll see.

I recently added some embedded videos to the e-book. As a result, you will need Acrobat 6 or later to properly open the PDF. To play the videos you will also need to have Windows Media Player installed on your computer. At the request of several Mac owners, I am also providing the videos as separate files in MOV format.

Here’s What People Are Saying About Switchcraft:

“This book is filled with love… Yes, love. Elliott loves billets and he loves switching them. There is a lot of great work inside. If you are a pro, amateur or just plain billet crazy, then this is something you need to put in your library. You won’t be disappointed.”
-Gregory Arce

“I simply love your original Switchcraft and all the supplements. I cannot believe you continue to send new material every so often. I applaud you for your fine work and deep insights! Thank you.”
-Richard Osterlind

“Did I tell you that I intend to include Switchcraft in my 39 Steps when I update it? It is easily one of the most valuable mentalism resources to be published in the last decade.”
-Bob Cassidy
