THE BLURB:
One of our fellow members on the Cafe, Nathan 'Pain' Sparks,
is in need of our help. His wife, Alyssa Sparks, has been
battling breast cancer for the past 3 years and actually
winning the fight! Well, just recently, it was discovered
that this terrible disease has returned.
If you have been in this situation yourself, or know of
someone who has, you know the financial strain this puts on
a family. The specialists and the ongoing onslaught of tests
are mandatory for the treatment of cancer and they do not
come cheap.
So what can you do? Donations to Nathan and his family are a
great start and can help ease the burden of the tough road
that Nathan has found himself on. Nathan is working on an
e-book that will be going on sale soon with the intention of
raising some much needed funds for his situation.
Here is a list of the contributors:
Tony Eye
Kenton Knepper
Thom Bleasdale
Dr. Bill Cushman
Iain Dunford
Greg Arce
Rob Domenech
Christopher Carter
Brad Gordon
Paul Brook
Josh Zandman
Andrew Gerard
Jay Are
Dynamike

(Please note before purchasing this ebook that the Corkscrew
technique by Prof. B. Ardcromb contained within is a joke,
and not a serious or complete routine. All sales are final.)
MY COMMENTS:
The blurb above is a bit outdated because the e-book being
talked about is indeed TATTOO and it's available now. And,
with a contributors list like that, you can bet that this
book has some pretty impressive stuff in it and it does. I
jokingly told Nathan that my biggest complaint about this is
that he didn't ask me to contribute, as I would've gladly
done so. Be that as it may, that is no way a slight on the
material found within these pages.
Besides the impressive page count and amount of material,
the layout of the e-book is quite elegant and more care went
into it than most eBooks. I enjoyed simply flipping through
its pages with its photo illustrated headers.
This is an anthology with 37 contributions. Like any
anthology, there will be stuff that you love and stuff that
you skip over. Which ones you'll use depend on your style
and tastes, of course. There is enough variety that you are
guaranteed to find one thing that you will use, though I
think you'll find more than one thing.
I must also fairly note that some of these contributions
have appeared elsewhere and so you may recognize some of the
contents if you buy a lot of mentalism books, but that's not
really the point of this volume. One buys it to support
Nathan and Alyssa. One buys it to help our small community
of mentalists. And, in return, one gets a pretty darn good
book, 242 pages, of useful material. To me, that's a good
deal and definitely recommended.
NOTE: There are two editions. There is the downloadable
eBook and the paperback (available from Lulu). Select the
appropriate link above to order.
