I just received some info from Allen Zingg that I thought folks might find helpful. His DVD set is called "Allen Zingg's Master Billet Course."

It includes 8 hours of material. There are 40 routines included. Thirty techniques are taught in detail.

Much of the DVD set is shot with 3 cameras so front, back and close-up angles can be seen and appreciated. Effects are performed in real world conditions and shot in a variety of venues.

Allen writes: "I’ve redesigned classic techniques, created original moves, and developed seamless routines to show you just how powerful and entertaining mentalism with billets can be. I’ll teach you step-by-step with performances in a variety of settings, detailed explanations and some amazing close-ups so that you get everything you need.

And, no more, “Look Ma, it’s Superman!” misdirection. They can burn you, and there’s nothing to see, or even suspect."

Allen said Barrie Richardson, Richard Busch, Millard Longman and Kenton Knepper have all contributed routines. And of course Allen’s own work will be highlighted.

I hope this gives everyone a better idea of what to expect from "Allen Zingg's Master Billet Course." Allen has field tested this material over the course of his career in front of large audiences at formal events and in front of small groups during walk around gigs.

Allen always goes the extra mile in my experience. He loves to create, perform and teach. Attention to the smallest details and the important psychology that makes mentalism so powerful are evident in all of Allen's previous works.

The amount of documentation that accompanied his Limited Edition Zingg Wallet is a good example of his creativity and how prolific he is. I expect "Allen Zingg's Master Billet Course," to be just as original, clearly taught and full of amazing techniques and routines as his previous contributions to the field of mentalism.

Good Thoughts,

Bill
