This otherwise good video is unfortunately difficult to follow because of the SUPER ANNOYING
background music. What was the point of adding this music that adds no value and only makes it hard
to hear and concentrate?
I know some people are not bothered by background music or loud
noise when they are trying to study. Some people prefer to listen to music when they study. My
brain is not wired that way. Background music an loud sounds are a constant distraction that make
it very difficult to concentrate.
Super disappointed with this release because it is a
struggle to hear and understand what Julien is saying.
When I invest in a video to learn
something, I don't care about high production values...as long as the video and audio are clear and
the instruction good. The instruction is good, however the audio is hampered by the background
music and also the loud noises from other people talking during the live performances.
Julien, your billet work is very good. I love it. But PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't add
background music to the recording! It does not add any value and only makes it hard to hear and
understand what you are saying.

I consider myself a competent billet-worker, and have come up with my own switches, instant peeks
and CTs. So I bought Julien Losa's oourses mainly out of curiosity.
I am used to reading or
watching videos about moves I but it has been a long time since I replaced one I used with one I
learned about. A very long time.
So I wasn't prepared to be so excited at the sight of the
two switches Julien teaches! Unfolding switch? Folding switch? Ok, how is that better than what I
can already perform?
Well... How can I write that not sounding like a teenage girl falling
in love for the first time? It's... smooth, fooling, efficient... it really is the perfect move for
the brilliant routines that are demonstrated in that video. I knew of Annemann's, but was impressed
and feeling both joy and awe when I saw Nestor D's "Billet Chi" (first "wow!!!") and then Julien
Losa's "SEE". Short, simple, powerful routines that are, IMO, instant classics! Like Annemann's or
Bert Reese.
Ok, until a few hours ago, I thought I knew more than enough. I was wrong! The
sequence "Unfolding switch" + "Folding switch" is a tool that has way more power than even its
creator seem to realize! And I'm not writing this lightly.

Billet Chi is seriously one of the best billet routines possibly ever...
Imagine if you
opened with Billet Chi, followed it up with Sneak Theif, and closed with Name and Place...
Wow.
This feels underpriced, literally the most value I'll ever get from spending
less than 20 bucks in my magic journey for that one routine alone.

I have to step in because of the severity of the previous comment. Yes, the sound isn't optimal: if
it was I'd leave a 5! But the content is so good, it's well worth the price anyway.
In this
video you get:
- a b.s. technique by Anneman,
- 2 great techniques, which are Julien's
version of techniques also detailed by Marc Paul
- Billet Chi, a great routine by Nestor Dee,
which will fool your spectators!
- A variant on Anneman's Telepathy Plus based on the techniques
above
- And last but not least, S.E.E., a very simple and straightforward routine which will
leave your spectators dumbfounded, and is a simple entry in the world of b.s. I know it's the one
I'll practice and showcase first, to gain confidence in that specific field of mentalism!
So yeah, the sound isn't perfect, but it still works and you can understand everything that is
explained here, and the material is gold!
Plus, the guy is french and bald, what more could
one ask for? ^^

This is my first time experience with billet work and I throughly enjoyed the routines and teaching
within the download by Julien. Definitely would recommend but I must mention you do need to put the
practice and effort into achieving the rewards you will come away with.
Actually nothing to
difficult but practice in to getting the routines moving smoothly and if you do basic sleight of
hand with coins then you are on to a winner.

So many great ideas packed into this download. I know a lot people just love the Chi effect, and I
understand why, but I love the simplicity and thinking behind S.E.E.
Anyway, great stuff!
So much great stuff. Everything in this download is easy , minimal, hard hitting and you’ll have it
for the rest of your life. Anytime. Anywhere. Get all the volumes if you’re a billet guy. Game
changer. Absolutely kills.
Some amazing switches and thinking. All mentally should pick this up!
This download gives you a few switches that are pretty easy (I'd say most billet stuff is somewhat
tricky to begin with, but these are among the easiest) and some fantastic tricks to use them in. If
you've already got the switches you need then I think it's worth it just for the tricks, but if you
don't have either this is amazing value.
Genuinely one of the best mentalism purchases I've made
(and you don't need vol 1 either, it's totally separate stuff)
