Allen Zingg

(Based on 1 review)
A Great starting place!
Simple handlings with devastating results.

The use of Billets in Mentalism is often regarded as a hidden art...until now. Allen Zingg offers this four volume course on the use of Billets. Billets are small slips of paper that information is written on, this is the information that will be the thoughts that the Mentalist will use for the performance. The Mentalist will secretly gain access to this info using the techniques taught on this DVD set.

There are many variations on each of the techniques offered giving the performer many options. In addition to exhaustive teaching on the techniques that make this type of work possible, there are many routines that exploit them.

Please take a look at the individual DVD descriptions here on My Lovely Assistant, for a complete list of what is on each volume. To go into detail may take a few days, no weeks! There is that much information on these DVDs.

Master Billet Course is a very comprehensive look at the subject of billet reading. Allen Zingg presents you with four-volumes (5 DVDs) that total over 8 hours of information. There is such a wealth of knowledge on these DVDs and if you get through all of the material presented here then you are well on your way to working real magic.

My favorite routines are "Starpower II" and "The Tibetan Wishing Box" (Vol.1), "A Dream Comes True" (Vol.2), "Chakra Reading" and "Q&A Dancing" (Vol.3), and of course ALL of Volume 4!

The information in all four volumes is presented clearly. The effects presented are top notch. If you are interested in learning about billet work this is the set for you. The information presented is ESSENTIAL to your growth in this area. Allen Zingg is a highly regarded creator & performer of mentalism. Allen's creativity is valued by top names in the field, including Kenton Knepper, Barrie Richardson, Ted Karmilovich & Banachek. He presents the material in a clear concise way that is easy to understand and follow.

The down side of these DVDs is the low production values associated with them. I know this information is important. I know that this is a great resource, but the sound is inferior, the camera work detracts from what is being communicated at times and the performances are lack luster.


Bottom Line:
Even though the production values make these DVDs hard to watch, so much so that I am deducting points, I feel that Allen Zingg*s Master Billet Course covers some very important information. If you are serious about billet work this is the course for you.

I give "Master Billet Course" three stars.
