Get MLM Products For Less. Members of Mark Leveridge's E-Club Pro can purchase any MLM download product at half price, while members of E-Club Elite also get to own a selection of Mark's marketed ideas for free! If you're not a member of either (time to join, perhaps?), you can still get money off by selecting items from the MLM Web Offers. Here are the current choices: 1. Devil's Island. This is an entertaining and audience-involving mentalism routine designed for a close up show or for a parlour setting which is easy to do. Watch the dem to appreciate the plot. 2. The Tube Of Wonder. A wineglass is set down inverted on the table and is covered with a simple, examinable cardboard tube. A ball is dropped into the tube so that it ends up resting on the base of the glass. When the tube is lifted again, the ball is seen to have somehow penetrated the glass and is now trapped under the glass bowl. The tube is empty as are the performer's hands. Both the above TricKlip Video Downloads normally cost £7, but because they are Web Offers, they are both discounted to just £4 each until the end of July. Go to www.markleveridge.co.uk/product-category/web-offers for more details and to watch video dems. 17.6.23 |
