This newsletter focused on Abbott’s instant downloads and nothing else (we had just hit our 100th instant download and thought it would be a nice way to celebrate the event). The especially when you look at the results. Basicly two links got almost 2/3 of the traffic, the big winner being”View All Downloads” with 31% and the download version of Premonition with 29%. Nothing else cracked 10% although if we had to pick the #3 link it would be “View All Workshop Plans” which came in with a little over 7% of the clicks.
For those who did not have a chance to read it, All of Abbotts instant downloads except one are $4 (The one that isn’t is David Seebachs Combo package which features an instant download of 100 of his articles plus his book “So You Want To Be An Illusionist” shipped to you via snail mail). The instant downloads work best with Paypal (making it truly instant as the download instructions are sent at the time of purchase) and are available as three types, pdf books, pdf workshop plans, and pdf years of Tops magazine.
Needless to say many instant downloads were downloaded on account of this newsletter so we have to believe that not everyone knew we have had them available now for well over a year, probably closer to two. The attached picture shows the “unbalanced results” better than I could ever describe it.

| FAVORITE DOWNLOADS |
| 1963 TOPS |
| The entire year of Tops magazines from 1963. This year is very popular because it was posted on a board as the year that contains the plans for the “Pogo Ball” effect by Abbotts. We currently have 42 complete years of Tops available for download at $4 each. |
| MODERN CABINET PLANS |
| I think everyone has seen a version of this, perhaps most popular as “Bumps in the Night”. Currently we have 43 Abbott workshop plans available including many of the greatest stage illusions of all time, available for $4 each. |
| FURTHER TIPS ON ZOMBIE |
| Zombie effects are very popular so its no surprise this is our leading book download. If you are interested in performing the famous “Zombie” effect, you must have this book. Currently we have 14 books available for instant download at $4 each. |
