From the introduction:
"Billet test" is one of the classics in mentalism: the mentalist divines a word, a number or a drawing made by a spectator, without coming in contact with the paper.
Numberless are the methods designed to solve this problem: "center tears", window envelopes, "umbrella moves" or billet switches. All these methods, in my opinion, have a great weakness: the mentalist must repeatedly touch the billet. With that in mind, I looked for a method to avoid all this "manipulation" and that would appear as real telepathy.
What I am going to reveal to you, I think is a good solution and it served me well since I came up with it in 1976.
It has passed the scrutiny of many different audiences and many "in the know" such as Frank Garcia, Tony Spina and[url=]Tony Slydini[/url], to whom I showed it at the "Tannen Jubilee" in 1977, giving me great satisfaction.
Once read and practiced, you have a surefire effect in your professional repertoire and, most of all, you will be able to perform it anywhere, anytime, without using any electric/electronic device or stooges of any kind.
