There's really not much here. It's nine pages when you get past the cover, introduction, and table of contents. One of two "secrets," the rest is not a surprise. Going in, I knew that there would be nothing useful performance-wise, but I thought it might contain some interesting bits of Indian Fakir performances. There is not really much here that is surprising or interesting. It is $6 for a 10-minute read that I will not look at again.
