It took us two years to track down a copy of these elusive instructions to the bottom deal. Gary Plants, the man with the best bottom deal alive, wrote "The Artanis bottom deal is probably the closest thing in print to the type of bottom deal that I do."

The really cool part of this ebook is that you can study the bottom deal audio-visually: hear, see and read. Artanis explains verbally how to do the bottom deal, you can study 12 photos that capture every stage of the bottom deal, and you can read a set of instructions. The electronic format allowed us to further improve the audio-visual experience by combining everything into a slide show. The slide show includes an audio track for the slides where Artanis gives instructions. And the end of the slide show is a flip book where the 12 photos are shown in sequence quickly following each other to produce an animation effect.

[Note: Make sure to view the PDF in full screen mode (CTRL-l in AdobeReader). The sound and flip book animation can only be experienced in the full screen mode.]
