ABOUT THE AUDIO PORTIONS

The audio portions of the Wonder Readings System are more casual and relaxed than what

Kenton and Rex have done previously in their other works. Instead of a more cut and dried

studio approach, these tapes are often more fluid and conversational. The segments Rex

and Kenton recorded together are along the lines of a "fireside chat". These conversations

are not unlike those meetings in which the two gather to explain their various ideas and

applications to one another. These segments include examples of readings they might give

to various clients.

At other times, Rex shares his thoughts on Meta Programs and other concepts

spontaneously - as he relaxes in his den at home. This is similar to the way Kenton himself

learned these patterns from Rex. You have the additional advantage of having these

programs in detailed text form. As Rex speaks in an extemporaneous manner, many

nuances and insights are brought forth that may have been missed by a more limiting

structure.

A portion of Kenton's material is recorded "in studio" to provide specific details and tools

not mentioned within the text. You will also hear a live reading Kenton gives a client in his

home office studio.

Given that these discussions are about readings, the more conversational approach to the

audio tapes was deemed best. The sacrifice in occasional sound quality is more than made

up for in actual content. The audio tapes more accurately reflect the way you might receive

this information in live trainings and workshops.

In the educational process, the combination of hearing casual conversation and seeing

explicit details in text form, allows the student to grasp this material more quickly and

easily than ever before. This blending also gives students a wide berth to learn in ways

most comfortable to each. Only Rex and Kenton would give the actual learning procedure

so much thought. It is little wonder that Rex is considered one of the foremost trainers of

such material throughout the world. The structure of this system itself is one small

example of how ingenious these two people are when they put their minds together

towards a common purpose.

We know you are in very capable hands. So we leave you now with the words of Rex and

Kenton.

IN THE BEGINNING...

When we first began working on this project, we became very excited very quickly.

Everything began to fall into place in ways neither of us had fully imagined. We knew the

tools were powerful, but just how powerful, we were yet to learn.

To test our work along the way, we ran little snippets of Wonder Readings past our

professional friends. We won't drop names here, but the feedback we received was far

more than what we had bargained. One well known fellow said "That's TWO techniques

you mentioned, and that is TWO methods I am using tonight in my act! This is incredible

material! Please don't tell anyone else about these. Seriously - let's just keep these ideas

between us. This is too good to let others in on". This from a mentalist whose works you

have likely read, and who has made a living doing readings in and out of performance for

decades.

Another small sharing with a notable magician gave us a frantic phone call "You simply

CANNOT release this material! I don't even DO readings, and now I may reconsider. But

the problem with the fragments you sent is that they are far, far too good for most people

to have access to... I am concerned about the absolute POWER of these tools. What if

some idiot gets a hold of these? He can easily be as good as the most well trained

performer! You should share this knowledge only with friends like me... People you know

you can trust".

These were continually the type of comments we received from the little pieces of the

system that we shared with others. Our magic and mentalist friends alike all asked that we

keep this material to ourselves, and share it only with them. They "couldn't wait for more"

and as one person put it "I am addicted to this now! I really need you to send me more

tools from this work"!

We know from personal experience that these tools and methods are consistently reliable.

We have seen how powerful they are in actual practice. What we did not expect were the

amazing reactions we have received from well versed mentalists and magicians.

Now this same material, and much more, is in your capable hands. We ask that you use

these tools with respect - respect for your clients and spectators, as well as yourself. We

now understand how intensely powerful these tools and methods can be in truth. Not

sharing these methods however could mean that they might well "slip" into use by devious

means, without the full understanding and attitude we have intended.

So to our critics let us say simply that we offer these now in an effort to have these tools of

power used with care and caring. We know that anything of power may be used for good

or bad. We have little control of what others choose to do with any given power. But we

feel that by presenting these tools with the intention and ways of use we advise, we have at

least made clear the a ppropriate use of such power. We have done our best to make such

things vitally clear and pertinent.

If we sincerely believed that keeping this material to ourselves would have solved the issue

of those who might use such tools unwisely, we would have indeed kept this information

all to ourselves. But it has already become clear to us that such a dream was entirely
