The Purloined Thought by Al Mann

This is the best and most exhaustive work on billets. It is a treatise on the history, methodology and technique on the use of torn billets in the mentalist's art of thought reading. It starts with an in depth study of the history and evolution of the Center Tear and goes on to detail more work on billets than you could use in a lifetime. The Thirteen Chapters are:

• Initium
• Blue Ribbon Effects
• Facts
• Prophesy
• Qanda Central
• The Covert Tear
• Tear And Read Methods
• The Young Lions
• Pyramid Power
• Sans Tear Methods
• Pre-Torn Missives
• Sealed Messages
• The Day Of The Sit-Tores

There are contributions from Rudy Hunter, Al Baker, Ted Karmilovich, Ray Hyman, Bob Cassidy, Richard Osterlind and Dai Vernon.

This is an expensive book, but Al limited it to 200 copies. And the few original copies left should only go to serious performers who will derive full benefit from the disclosed information.
