Hi all,

Hope you're well.

My dear friend Paul Brook is due to release another book this coming January. It's called It's Your Choice. Paul has put a newsletter out about it recently and the book can now be preordered:

https://www.heknows.co.uk/shop/its-your-choice

I don't know too much about it but have greatly enjoyed his previous releases (especially, for me, Nix4 and Certified Mentalism) and fully trust that this will be fantastic, too. Looks like a deep-dive into a single technique, which exactly is the kind of book I really, really enjoy reading.
My review will come once it's available to read.

Stay safe everyone. I dearly hope the situation for entertainers around the globe will improve soon.
Until then, hopefully Paul's writing will manage lift our spirits a bit. <3

All the best,

T.

Hey Timon Smile

I join you in hoping that this global pandemic becomes more under control and we can all start entertaining in the ways we are used to.

While I cannot go too much into the method it is indeed a 'deep dive' into a single method. The amount of work that I have put into this single method means that it is way more than the initial effect it started life as.

In this book I hold nothing back, it is more than 260 pages long (some +40,000 words), which should give an indication of how much detail I go into. Yet, I have cut pages and sections out that I did not feel were necessary. When I write, "possibly the most versatile opening effect in close-up mentalism" I do not do so lightly.

Cheers,

Paul

Hey Brett,

It's been my bespoke opening effect at corporate gigs and my tradeshow goto (fully customisable for the company product/message) for so long now, that's how much I like this.

I know you are going to get a real kick out of this Smile

Cheers,

Paul

Hey Everyone Smile

Since releasing this information yesterday I have had a lot of people emailing and messaging me with questions.

After responding to every single one of these questions in detail I feel like my fingers are of fire.

In my attempt to protect the secret of the effect, which is the correct thing to do for those who purchase it, it turns out I may have been a little too vague.

I've now updated the website with a more detailed description of the effect, along with more examples of what the method is NOT.

Hope this helps Smile

Cheers,

Paul

Paul, I like your work and I'm hovering over the buy button but I am not fully certain what the routine is. As this is a public forum I have sent you an email with particular questions but have not had a response.

Hi Bryce,

Appreciate your continued support of my work, thank you 😊

I've responded to all of the emails and messages I've received so far. If you have a question that is suitable for an open forum, feel free to ask here. It's likely going to be relevant to someone else reading it. If it's not suitable for an open forum, then drop me a PM on here.

Cheers,

Paul

Looking forward to another real world worker from Paul!
I didn’t even think twice about buying this right away. Paul is super thorough in effect development with multiple presentation angles and the effects have more than likely to have been refined over and over again.

Killer cover too! I can’t wait to read this.

It took me a long time to track down a second hand copy of Nix4 after I missed the boat with that one, so made sure I pre-ordered.

Is non-limited the same price as limited edition?

That's very kind of you to say, thank you Smile

Glad you like the cover, I think it's pretty cool too. But I must say, even though there are a few Bizarre presentations inside the book, the cover doesn't denote the type of content, remember this is a method that can work with ANY PRESENTATION STYLE. I've had a few people ask me if the material is strictly occult based...well, that depends on the time of day you perform and with what materials Smile

A few people who have seen the front cover in the early development stages didn't even notice that there was three hands.

It's nice when even the book cover is fooling! Smile

Cheers,

Paul

Not sure if you are one of the pre-orders, or if you are waiting for the release date?

Just remember that there are some very cool pre-order bonuses for those who jump on board early.

Cheers,

Paul

Strangely enough, after my recent move to the rural seclusion of Scotland, I have (despite unpacking numerous boxes) not been able to locate my own personal copy of 'NIX4', despite having a good old look Smile

While I know the secrets that are written inside, it's more of a sentimentality, as I like to keep the proof copy (along with the many errors) of each of my books.

Hopefully, it will turn up and will be in a mislabeled box!

Glad to have you on-board early doors for 'It's Your Choice', what are you going to do with the future time you are saving searching for a vintage copy?

Cheers,

Paul
