Another Look At My Performing Life

[Millard Grubb]

You are right on the money Glenn.

Magicians are ALWAYS looking for a NEW trick or twist on an existing effect that can blow away a spectators mind.

Most of the successful tricks sold are sold using video of LIVE performances on the street or parties where spectators have the magic happen under their noses...
close-up magic.

As far as something that seems to have legs is training "roundtables" where a group of performers trains LIVE via ZOOM or other platform while keeping the focus on one type of effect.

Believe it or not the KID SHOW market makes the MOST money for successful performers... It is consistent, easy, and fun to do. There are always birthday parties, first communion parties, first-grade graduation parties, and the like ALL THE TIME.

In addition, I used to perform at DAYCARE centers several times a year and the kids MOBBED me because they were so happy to see me. As a result of the daycare shows, I often picked up birthday parties as well.

Hope this helps Glenn.

Thanks Millard,

Got a Crazy Idea for You.

How might you add The "Finger Thwap"
to a Performance?

Maybe have a pretty Stage Assistant FINGER TWAP a line of male Volunteers.

Let them Compete to Be Sawed in half.

(You would have to Watch out for FIGHTS. Because this "Finger Thap"
Drives men NUTS.)

Or

Tortured by The Pretty Assistant.

Glenn,

I appreciate the finger thwap story.

It is apparent that the use of anchoring with the right words makes the money here. There have got to be plenty of places a person (man or woman) could use this technique without being offensive to get better service, more attention, and deals.

Maybe it is just better to "Flirt Tip" everywhere you go.

It would be interesting to hear more day-to-day stories of regular folks who have used these techniques.

I thanked a restaurant owner by explaining a simple referral method for more customers and he was so happy that he refunded my bill and NEVER charged me again when I went to eat.

These tips WORK !

Hi Glenn and Millard,

I LOVE the "finger thwap" story!

I did something similar to help get me my wife...

This was at least two decades ago... I had just been reading about NLP...

I was meeting the young woman who later became my girlfriend, then my wife...

We met in a park on campus (this was at university)...

I thought I'd try some "anchoring"...

While we were sitting and talking, I (genuinely) complimented her, and when I did so, I gently touched her upper arm in a casual, normal way...

Then I did it again (also while genuinely complimenting her)...

Now, if I wanted her to have a good feeling, I'd just gently touch her upper arm...

And...

...We're married today, with a little one-year-old tyke running around...

I didn't use "anchoring" all the time... but I believe it helped to lay the "seed"...

Best wishes!

Dien
