- About the Author
"This book is easily worth twice the price, if for no other reason than the illustrated plans for creating your own mentalist's switch clip device (eerily similar to Nelson's Mental Gimic). Thornton's 'Direction of Thought' routine with ESP symbols also blew me away. What a great collection!" - Brett McCarron
