I just completed this booklet by Brad... I believe he calls it lecture notes. It has more creative elements than many books three times its size.
Brad is an excellent writer & an amazing performer. This is the type of book that everyone who is considering "doing" magic should get... not the trick of the month books.
Brad shows you the inner workings of a performer. How he or she looks at their craft and their effects.
Brad has some powerful ideas & presentations that should get your creative juices boiling.
In it he uses a few effects to teach each step of his theory. Don't expect the latest ambitious card routine or some outstanding mental epic routine, but do expect ingenious thinking and thoughtful motivations for his effects.
Having said that, Brad does give a marvelous take on a drawing dupe routine and a hysterical routine using an 8 Ball.
He also gives some interesting ideas when doing a bill to impossible location.
Get this book and read it! If you want to know how a creative & successful performer thinks then get this book.

Can you let me know where to get it or any more details so that I can do a uk search for it, thanks

Well, Brad is one of the members of the Café and is listed as truthteller... you can probably send him a PM and he'll give you the specifics.

Since you specoifically provided the link, I am assuming that there is a temporary server error. Anyway, it is now "after Thanksgiving", so what's up with the "special bonus deal"? (grin)

I don't make purchases lightly. I just now heard of this and ordered it directly. I have The Satanic Book Test and have read Brad's reviews of products which are insightful and his years of experience show. I'd buy anything he puts out that applies to me (and in some cases even if it doesn't)

I've just had the same access forbidden message, can you let us know what's happening please Brad

Just a typo, try this:

Hi!

My Mindvention notes are currently available along with a special offer for those interested in The Theory into Practice Books. The mindvention notes are available at:

Thanks for your support.

Brad

Folks, you must get these notes! I have yet to see a hands on workbook and in depth coverage of scripting and framing an effect. If you don't get these, you are passing on insight that will dramatically change your magic for the better....
