“Bill Cushman’s ebook, ‘Suggestabilities,’ features an outstanding audience participation effect known as ‘The Jumping Pulse.’ I was thrilled as I absorbed Bill’s insights. This effect is not only simple but also incredibly impactful. The original handling is exceptional, making ‘The Jumping Pulse’ one of the most impressive relaxation techniques I’ve encountered. By linking suggestions to natural physiological responses, participants can easily and deeply relax. Bill’s guidance and experience enhance this technique significantly. With my adaptations, it has become a staple in my performances, both on stage and in private settings, yielding remarkable results in persuasion and psychological mentalism. I particularly appreciate Bill’s choice to use the left hand, as it connects to the heart and the right brain. His attention to detail is what sets Cushman’s work apart.”
