I've got something coming out soonish called Profeign:
a psychological colour force (not for the standard two) some pendulum work some utility moves (for a sw**** and a p***) a couple of mini rants/essays something that will replace my Hateful Page booktest (which I'm withdrawing once this is released) a good old fashioned b****t routine a presentation for PK Touches an envelope fancy a booktest that I gave away for free on here before (hows that for honesty!) an idea taken from Corinda, and one from Annemann to perform an envelope test an alternative to the tossed out deck "things" to use on business cards (m*****g systems) and a very visual reading system using something that will cost you between £2-4, and leave the participants with a very nice momento/keepsake so there you go...its not the best thing ever in the world, but entertaining, gently visual, sneaky and hopefully you can find a use for some of it... waiting for the test copy, due tomorrow...if its ok, it'll be a 6"x9", 88 pages, with around 76 pages of content. I enjoy creating a good looking book too, and I like the process of typesetting/laying it out... there you have it... Click here to view attached image.

Sounds interesting Iain. Do you have a price in mind yet?

18-20 quid for the first month and then up a little...
easier than a discount or a pre-order...

Ian is a very clever thinker, so I am sure this will be a winner!

Luca,
I know Iain is a very clever thinker but who's Ian?

Ha
cheers fellas...test copy came yesterday and it looks rather fetching... for some reason, people seem concerned about page counts in books, dunno why - currently, mine is 88 pages, with a whopping 10 blank pages - mainly because I enjoy an attractively laid-out book, and I add a blank page to seperate section...thought I'd mention it in case blank pages make anyone feel a bit sick...i could fill it will crude drawings of anatomy though... anyway - here's some pretty pictures...

This book is really good. Choke full of good principles. Two routines have already a place in my heart (one I told Iain, the other not yet).
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!

As always I look forward to what Iain releases, can't wait really! One of the things I like the most is that you release your books in hard copy rather the just a pdf, this is just my personal preference but is what I prefer.

Right then..i thought I'd try and give a little variety this time, and I've stopped selling ebooks...
so, I've got the test copies back and they pass muster... but I've decided to offer an option... you can get PROFEIGN in its entirety, paperback (and looks pretty if I may say so myself), and is around 80 pages or so. I've taken Hateful Page off the market, because there's an updated version of it in this book. There's also a reading system (unlike AEIOU or thought-paths, but can be used WITH if you have them) - this system is visual, and you will have the opportunity to leave them with a physical keepsake to remember the moments you shared. I am also excited by this release because, though its only small - I have permission from the man himself, John Riggs to share with you something interesting if you have one of his imp devices. So you can get it now if you wish, http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/pr......18740548 however, I also realise that readings are becoming more popular, and you may not want to read my mentalism ideas, so I have also created a little stand-alone booklet (only 16 pages) of the reading system, called TESSARULA. Which you can get as a nice spring-bound booklet. And the cover looks pretty. http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/tickets/18740565 and countdownuk will get you 25% off too (until the 14th december) sending them off for review via marketplace of the mind shortly...

I sent a copy to greg arce...he's been kind enough to give me a quote:
"Ian has his own take on things. He has a way of looking at presentations in his own skewed and unique way. This is a good thing. But, on the other hand, I find that he would be considered an "old thinker" by some of the newbies. Why? Because he loves bits of cards, envelopes, markers, business cards... and all those things that some of the newbies find as props. I don't think that way. I find that Ian puts a new spin on these "props". He knows how to make them invisible. But I ramble. Let me just say that Ian's thinking always makes me smile. He comes up with real world routines. As you read them you can easily see them in your mind's eye. He is a clever man with clever thoughts. And mixed within the routines are touches, subtleties, enhancements, improvements... and a lot more."

"This novel book by Iain is worth reading because it's pretty full of old principles adapted to new effects, a case of rethinking and retooling to get new and fresh ideas out of established methods. Some great psychological plots are also to be found there, one I have re-dubbed "the rainbow!" and I fell immediately in love with it."
Paolo Cavalli thank you LoTH!
