Did the sign.

Held the raffle.

Collected 100's of Names and addresses and phone Numbers.

CLEANED the Winners Carpet.

Then thru the list away.

Complained to Jay, "We didn't make any money."

Had to START over when Jay Explained.

All those names you threw away had dirty carpet.

After doing it all again.

The 2 are millionaires in Pennsyvania.

Default I scared the Toastmaster folks pretty Bad

Thanks Millard,

Nobody would look at me.

Much less Talk to me.

Pretty funny.

They failed my Test.

You can use this ---BE VERY Different Idea--- with other Entrepreneurs.
And
in Certain Situations
To Fight against giant companies too.

When I was coaching Randy
Whose website got more hits than apple.com

...on how to Be DIFFERENT so Steve Jobs would call us back.

#1 - We created a Thank you Steve Jobs website

#2 - Gave Steve credit for and Complimented all his computer inventions s and
Called his Gal Friday - Secretary and sent her the link.

#3 - Earl Martin - my 700 million mentor in Texas told me, "Gleeeen. Whenever I
need to have a meeting with a billionaire.

a -" I send one page
b - "Phone right away
c - "Say "No" to whatever they want me to do and wherever the billionaire wants to meet.

"My Experience shows YOU HAVE to LEAD. if you let Mr Billionaire DRIVE The Bus
they will NEVER buy anything.

So.

Randy said he was "Busy" and couldn't talk to Steve,

Secretary called back Crying.

Steve threatened to fire her.

So she gave Randy--Steve's Home and cell phone #.

The 2 had a Long chat.

Steve insisted on sending his personal 747 to pick up Randy.

So we got his Attention!

Sold his Business too. Steve turned it into something called the APP Store.
Very different tho.

Randy got millions of hits by GIVING AWAY Free apple Apps.

Steve SOLD them.

Glenn

P.S. - WE Did the Same thing when CVS sued a client for building a 2nd
Drug Store. (As agreed in contract - 10 miles from the one he sold them)

Advice from a Billionaire was.

BAD Publicity.

Big companies can't stand it.

So.

My client and I wrote articles and took ads in the local Newspaper.
Where he was already a Regular Writer .

Marched outside CVS with a PROTEST Sign.

BIG CVS
Is
Picking on
Little Me.

Which got TV and Radio Coverage.

CVS quit their lawsuit.

P.P.S. - Where do I get a peek at the Coin Disappearing magic you mentioned?

Default Coin Trick

Glenn,

Thanks for remembering the coin trick.

This was taught to me by magic illusion builder and inventor, Ben Stone. I lived down the street from him when I was in college. I helped him with a few things in his workshop and he told me many stories about famous magicians. He was a personal friend of J. B. Bobo mentioned below.

The effect is in the book, Modern Coin Magic by J. B. Bobo. Again, it is called the Kneezy Vanish.

Basically what happens is you vanish a coin using sleight-of-hand. Then you offer to do it again. This time, when you vanish the coin, it is apparently really gone.
