WOW, I have never seen two completely wrong statements. Nastiness like that will turn off other potentional customers. I would never ever buy from someone that insults another person.

As a magician, you will be turning people off not to the products but to YOU.

Don, you are the one that went on about what you say to people, and are still defending the fact that you use lines like that.

There ARE people that come back. And they are usually the ones that buy a lot.

I know chefmagic, and have pitched with him. I have seen him move a LOT of merchandise. As magicians, we care about how we come across the same amount as making the sale.

Don seems to like arguing. If you're tired, take a rest.

I get people that come back all the time. Sometimes they will walk around first then come back to purchase items. Sunday I had 2 people come back twice and spend about $40 each.

So a pitchman is in line waiting to get into heaven.He is shaking his legs.St Peter ask his "whats the matter?" The pitchman says I have to go.St Peter says "well go behind that cloud,its ok" Later the pitchman is back in line but still shaking his legs.St peter says " didn't you go behind that cloud like I told you" No answers the pitchman...I looked down and there were hundreds of people below the cloud. "Oh says St Peter...they are just BE BACKS *piss* on'em"

I know where I would aim.

Don, answer this for me. A father and his 13 year old son come up to and watch your pitch. The son really wants the cards. The father is skeptical and asks if the cards really work.

"Yes, they do all the magic for you. You can do what I just did with these cards." you say.

"You're not gonna rip me off, are you?" he asks.

The father is really unsure if he should buy or not, and this goes back and forth for about a minute and a half.

What do you do? Do you 'Piss on him?'

Hey, you brought me back into the conversation.

I did ask a question though. I want to 'learn from the "master"' and find out if I did the right thing or not.

But, I should probably drop $30 on your dvd to find out, right?

$30...thats old history,I'm getting $36 now,but that with priority shipping.one sold over here,one back there sold...who else wants one...take out $36 and send it up...I would buy one myself if I didn't have so da** many...

If you want your question answered I'm be more than glade to do so.

I would put the deck in the fathers hand and let him try the deck than I would have the kid try them.Than say "I'll give you a full refund if this deck dosen't work like I say they do.

( but this is only if it were slow.If I had a big tip waiting to go back into another pitch I would just tell him about the money back guarantee and move on and do another pitch)

Took a while, if you were pitching, you would have lost the sale.

Ooh, OUCH!


In http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......m=192&16 Don said "A good pitchman is a good liar"

Now I DON'T want that video. I can't trust anything you say. Not that I did before.

Just trying to be nice to you Matt and answer your question and give you another chance.Its obvious you don't want that and just want to cause trouble.

I'm moving on and you should do the same.

I tried to and you pulled me back in.

Another chance? For what? To say you know all and give in to the misinformation you provide.

You never once tried to be nice to me. Remember a while back the post you made about a show I did? You went on on about how you were right, not giving a thing about how what you wrote read.

I'm done.

With all due respect to all concerned, I think everyone needs to "cool it." We are wasting valuable space and bandwidth conducting a ****ing contest, which is a waste of everybody's time.

Don is certainly entitled to his opinion, as is everyone else. You can use his lines or not, as you see fit. You can also explain why you think they are or are not a good idea, and offer variations of your own.

But all of this sniping is completely nonproductive. It needs to stop NOW. SETH

I've said this in N.Y and most other states as I travel all over the U.S.

I say it when I know parents just don't want their kids to have any fun.It dosen't bother me when they don't buy,It bothers me when they won't let their kid see a few card tricks and pulls them out in the middle of a pitch.

I think its sad.

Besides until you have pitched for 30 years and have been the the trenches so to

speak,you haven't earn the right for an opinon on the matter.

Later,Don



See I did not earn the right yet!!!!!! Have you earned the right?

Actually, you are right, the sarcasm was uncalled for, and I apologize.

However, I still believe that all of this sniping is completely nonproductive, and needs to stop now. SETH

I accept your apology. No one was trying to start an arguement. I simply voiced my opinion and was told I did not earn the right. that's what got me going. I have Dons tape and for the most part agree with what he says. I just don't agree with insultin future customers, or embarrasing them.
