Summary

This is a fascinating episode that I learned so much! I have on the Millionaire's Magician, Steve Cohen, who has performed for Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg, Barry Diller, Martha Stewart, Jack Welch, Michael Eisner, Stephen Sondheim, André Previn, Anne-Sophie Mutter, the Queen of Morocco, and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and also done more than 5000 shows around the world! In this episode, we don't just talk about magic, we don't just talk about his journey of becoming the Millionaire's Magician, we talked about his book, Win The Crowd, and how we can use the misdirection techniques and influence techniques in our life! One quick sneak peek, do you know that people are more willing to do what you ask if you give them two commands instead of one? Give it a try! My new book Skip The Line is out! Make sure you get a copy wherever you get your new book! Join You Should Run For President 2.0 Facebook Group, and we discuss why should run for president. I write about all my podcasts!
