Summary
Have you heard of Holiday Magic?! It's an MLM that successfully ran from 1964-1974, and was created by a dude (obviously) who saw a bunch of home products and cosmetics in someone's garage one day and apparently asked if he could buy it all.
These "beautician magicians" and other Holiday Magic employees were forced to complete a seminar at the Leadership Dynamics Institute, known for it's traumatic "sensitivity trainings", which included such activities as felating dildos and being locked in a cage for hours. I don't know about you, but I feel like my sales would just skyrocket after this!
