Lovely as always, thanks Henri

C'est fantastique!

Neato (even better once I read through the annotations and saw the full intention).

Oh brilliant! For once I understood what you were up to! All clues super satisfying but 2a and 5a my faves

Thanks Henri. What's more twisted -- your mini's or my mind because I can actually solve them? Either way it's a fun ride.

Really clever Henri. Very creative! I twigged the device quite early, then had fun unravelling the rest. Thanks

I nearly missed this but glad I didn't! Really well done, obviously it helped knowing what the trick was but fun to solve regardless.
