Foreword by Richard Webster.

Here are some quotes Timon received from other performers who read and reviewed his book:

“I need his ingenious brain!” - Kevin Schaller, Magician and Inventor.

“Being myself a lover psychological - hypnotic work, I must tell you that Timon’s work on ‘ Cut the Strings’ goes beyond remarkable!” – Nefesch, Mentalist and Inventor.

“Timon is a great new force in mentalism. This book is full of great ideas and effect that are usable in the real world. A superb debut!” - Freddie Valentine, Bizarrist and Author.

“Timon scares me. How good can a 16 year old be? How good is he gonna be in 10 years from now? If I know one true Hypnosis Prodigy – it’s him. Of the few people that I ask for feedback because I really respect their opinion and deep knowledge of Mentalism, Hypnosis and Performance per sé – Timon at his young age again and again impresses me the most.

In Hypnosis and Mentalism – Timon’s a natural. He just gets this stuff. If you’re looking for a book on mental magic don’t buy this book. If you’re looking for real Mentalism and are serious about using your mind while doing so ... enjoy.

Had I not witnessed the entire process of writing “Cut the Strings” I would have sworn it must be ghost written by someone a lot older. You might think so yourself. It’s just that good. But it’s written by a 16 year old – who’s probably just from another gene pool.” – Alexander Hartmann, Mentalist and Coach.
