Meeting P.T. Barnum

I heard about legendary media prankster Alan Abel well over ten years ago, when I was researching P.T. Barnum for my book, There’s a Customer Born Every Minute.

I never knew I would ever get to meet the man, let alone hire him to pull stunts for me and today call him my friend.

I spent two hours interviewing Alan yesterday, all caught on video thanks to Nerissa. We also had a two hour dinner with him last night.

What a treat to sit at the feet of this fast-thinking genius – the man behind such historic movements as the one to clothe naked animals, the one to audit the IRS, and of course the Canine Concert and about three hundred more stunts, hoaxes, and publicity magnet events.

If you get a chance, watch the documentary about his life. His daughter created it. It’s at times moving, at other times hilarious, and always heart felt. It’s called Abel Raises Cain

Alan is a rare breed. I’m glad to call him my friend.

PS – Alan is featured in a movie I am also in, called Humbug, about outrageous publicity and the great lotto hoax of 2006. Pat O’Bryan showed it at his Unseminar 3 event yesterday. The crowd loved it. I’ll let you know when it is available on DVD.

WOW!

I'm at Pat O'Bryan's Unseminar 3. My hero Alan Abel just rocked the house. The legendary hoaxer had us rolling on the floor laughing. The man is a genius. People are smiling, their minds opened with new awareness. What a treat to be able to call Alan my friend. Right now Pat has to follow Alan's presentation. What a tough act to follow. www.alanabel.com.

From Downunder

Phil in Australia just sent me a couple of interesting websites:

The first is a detailed review of the dream car* of all dream cars:

www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2005/12/stories/03/1.html

The second is a site he created to sell my products. I think it’s a good example of an affiliate hard at work. See it here:
