Have any of you brought any of his books? If so which ones and what have you learnt? How many books does he have anyway?

I bought Tricks of the Mind. It was very enjoyable- a good holiday book. But I'm none the wiser about how he does what he does. There was a lot of 'smoke and mirrors' in his tales and explanations.

So he doesn't give much away like the masked magician then? Oh well!

Tricks of the Mind is the only one I'm aware of, and I must say it was very good. He goes into some of the theory behind his techniques (how to induce hypnosis, the science of suggestability etc) but he doesn't actually reveal how he does what he does.
