Gary Bremermann invited me to be interviewed!

Here's Gary's note to me (with sites you should check
out for next week's Easter Egg hunt with the Jolly
Grean Giant)...

Hi Ben,

I noted you've had a big busy December, so I've waited to pick up the thread below. In the meantime, I've gotten up the pre-launch version of my site:

www.powerupenglish.com

www.powerupenglish.com/friends (for my list of 4000 people in Japan who know me)

It's my first real shot at marketing online, though I did put up something for my recruiting business at www.garybremermann.com .

Anyway, if you could take a few minutes to read my message below and let me know how I can help you by letting me interview you and also about if you'd be able to help me with an introduction to Mark Joyner and Dave Lakhani or not, that would be much appreciated.

I know Japan is a small market compared to the U.S. but as you probably know from your recent work here, Japanese customers are loyal and long-tail rabid.

Cheers,

Gary

GARY, YOU ARE MAKING IT HAPPEN.
I'll email proposed dates.

My first business book comes out January 29, 2007
THINK TWO PRODUCTS AHEAD

"Creating loyalty beyond reason and moving from irreplaceable to irresistible is job #1 for all marketers today. Ben's book will help you get there."
Kevin Roberts, CEO
Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide

"Ben will teach you how to turn every first sale
into residual streams of income with products
and services that literally compel a 2nd, 3rd and
4th purchase. If you have a Millionaire Mind you've
just chosen to buy this book."
T. Harv Eker
Author of the New York Times #1 Best Seller
Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind

"Wow! It’s good…I could write 156 pages
of praise for your insight and writing ability,
but I have to tackle updating 356 pages of
Guerrilla Marketing so I kept it terse.”
Jay Levinson
Author of Guerrilla Marketing

"I call Ben whenever I have a question about branding and he makes everything clear and even easy and obvious. Think Two Products Ahead is like talking with Ben because every chapter gives you newfound clarity and you see how easy and profitable branding really should be."
David Doyle, Vice President, Program Development
Animal Planet

"For a guy like me who used to absolutely, positively hate branding, this book is a revelation. Finally, a clear-cut confessional from someone who has actually worked in the deep carpets with the guys and guyettes in the designer suits. But Ben generously goes beyond the Wizard of Oz exposé (that takes down the scam Madison Avenue and its provincial cousins have been running on businesses for years)... and tells you what's good about branding, and how you can cash in on it for your business. I mean exactly, step-by-step. If you are in business and you have anything to do with marketing, you need this book."
David Garfinkel, Author of Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich

Praise for Ben Mack’s previous book
POKER WITHOUT CARDS
"Ben Mack wrote a consciousness thriller, combining natural philosophy with storytelling—the effect is like taking acid, only you never come down."
-Robert Anton Wilson, Author of The Illuminatus! Trilogy

“As a result of this book, Ben will never work in advertising again. If you read it, neither will you. May this clever virus infect the mediaspace before it's too late."
-Douglas Rushkoff, Author of Coercion; Media Virus!

“Poker Without Cards reveals the hard-to-swallow truth that one cannot know reality until one understands memetics and poker. Is the world ready for such a revelation?”
Richard Brodie
Author of Virus of the Mind: The New Science of the Meme
Computer programmer who wrote original MS Word

“Reader’s beware! Your perceptions will be changed and the adjustment period may be disorienting, but it is well worth the read. Poker Without Cards depicts Bennington College while I was there. Poker Without Cards evokes the magic we called college, the homes we called dorms and the tensions we called life. If you read one difficult book this year, make your way through this one--The journey is worth the effort.”
Justin Theroux, actor
Mulholland Drive/American Psycho/Charlie’s Angels

“There are ideas in Poker Without Cards corporations don't want you to read…Read this book!”
Michael Bonanno
The Yes Men

“Reads like a modern-day 1984…I think the world has found a new Orwell…I am certain it will be a big hit.”
Kirk Packwood
Memetic Magic

"Poker Without Cards pulls the circus tent back on persuasion and marketing. If you ever wanted to meet The Great Oz, read this book.”
Mark Joyner
Mind Control Marketing

“Ben Mack, Since you don't have the guts to be a homosexual, I'm glad that you are pissing off your parents by writing.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Cat’s Cradle/Slaughter House 5

First Buzzword Of 2007: Simplexity
by Sarah Mahoney, Wednesday, Dec 27, 2006 5:01 AM ET
HAS ALL THAT HOLIDAY COMPLEXITY convinced you we're finally over the simplicity thing? Not so fast.

Market researchers believe that 2007 will find consumers seeking out a new trend, which Robbie Blinkoff, managing partner of Context-Based Research Group, is calling simplexity.

Strategy question...

I've charged communities with the greatest
intensity I know how, as peacefully as I can
be and still be effective

I've got some folks talking about me, most
saying I'm lacking clarity

I'm recreating the sculpture in Chapter 1 of Poker Without Cards

One of Kevin Wilke's students from 10-in-90 is one of the 3 finalists for
the grand prize, which includes among other things, a 1-hour consultation

What are you willing to make happen? (pt 1 of 3)

Hi.

When I ask, "What are you willing to make happen?" I'm talking
about right now! Joe Lonshore II gave me this glimpse, well, him
and Artemis.

Willing? Yes. You are manifesting your intentions all around you.
What you focus on expands. On what are you focusing?
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

The Structure of Magic
[What are you willing to make happen? (pt 1 of 3)]
By Ben Mack
Magic Castle Award Winning Magician,
Author: Poker Without Cards

Magic is the act of facilitating a phantasmagorical
experience, the acceptance of the world where natural
laws don’t have such a firm grasp on reality. I grew
up a junior member of The Magic Castle—If ever there
was a real Hogwartz, this was it. David Copperfield
lectured to our membership, Dai Vernon tutored us and
Diana Zimmerman managed us. The Magic Castle wasn’t
open to kids interested in magic. Instead, The Magic
Castle held biannual auditions and initiated those who
demonstrated proficiency of craft and potential for
expertise. The older a candidate was, the better they
had to be. It took me two tries to be accepted. Natural
aptitude was rarely enough to muster the goods necessary
for acceptance. Virtually every candidate had been
tutored. Lorenzo Clark was my mentor. I called him Larry.

Larry not only taught me sleight-of-hand, called prestidigitation, but he also taught me the psychology of perception. In order to create a sustainable illusion, one must have a commanding grasp of perception. A magician must transcend fooling their audience and enter the realm of trust where an audience grants you their willing suspension of disbelief.

Magic is not a thing or a physical act, but a state of mind that approaches the sublime but is more aptly referred to as phantasmagorical. Magic occurs at the intersection of a performer and an audience. There is intentionality to the perception. A stone that looks like an eagle is not magic, regardless of whether or not it is carved to represent the physical traits of an eagle. A sculpture maybe a catalyst to an altered state of mind, but I am reticent to call a sculpture magical. Some panoramas feel almost magical to me, but real magic is dynamic and ephemeral. Magic is the process of engineering an experience where reality emerges as it cannot be, and yet the audience is compelled to set aside their disbelief and flow with the experience as long as it lasts.

Creating an illusion entails tweaking our visual prejudices. We drop a coin, and it falls. We know this to be true; we have seen the force of gravity pull objects to Earth since before we had words to articulate the phenomena. What most non-perceptual psychologists DON’T recognize is the extent that our mind projects our expectations, our visual prejudices, onto our sight.
