Dear Friend,
 
Alan Abel is one of my heroes.
 
While most of us are asleep, he's wide awake.
 
While most of us play it safe, he dares something worthy.
 
While most of us are too serious, he's causing belly laughs.
 
I discovered him when I was researching my book on P.T. Barnum, There's a Customer Born Every Minute.
 
I learned that Alan was responsible for many world famous publicity events, such as --
 

WHY ANIMALS NEED CLOTHES
 
In 1959 Alan Abel formed a tongue-in-cheek crusade whose mission was to clothe all naked animals for the sake of decency. It was called S.I.N.A. or the Society for the Indecency to Naked Animals. The campaign slogan was "a nude horse is a rude horse."

Wearing a deadpan expression, Abel went on numerous television and radio shows to promote S.I.N.A. He hired his friend, Buck Henry, to play the part of S.I.N.A.'s president, G. Clifford Prout, and together they duped such major TV programs as "The Tonight Show," the "Today Show" and the "CBS Evening News" with Walter Cronkite.

S.I.N.A. was actually a satirical commentary on censorship. It poked fun at the true moral maniacs who were banning books and records during that time period. 
 
And then there's --
 
"Yetta for President!"
 
In 1964 Abel promoted a campaign for Mrs. Yetta Bronstein, a Jewish grandmother from the Bronx who wanted to become President of the United States. Her slogan was "Vote for Yetta and things will get betta!"

Yetta's platforms included putting a truth serum in the Senate drinking fountain, installing a mental detector along with the metal detector, and taking Congress off salary and putting them on straight commission.

Yetta was actually a fictitious character voiced by Abel's wife, Jeanne, who did hundreds of radio and newspaper interviews over the phone. When the press requested a picture of Yetta, Alan supplied them with a photo of his mother, Ida.

 ALAN DIDN'T STOP THERE--
 
Let's Audit the IRS!
 
In 1970,after being audited by the IRS, Alan Abel decided to sue the United States government in retaliation.

Under the auspices of a group called Taxpayer's Anonymous, Abel demanded to examine their books and records and ordered the government to bring all of its cancelled checks to his house. 

And then there's the hilarious publicity stunt Alan did for ME--
 
"HUMBUG!"
 
In 2006, when the national Powerball Lottery reached $365 million, the biggest jackpot in American history, Alan took the opportunity to dust off one of his most successful hoaxes.
 
He hired his friend and long-time co-conspirator, Bob Pagani, to pose as the winner and the two traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska where the winning ticket was purchased.

With a photocopy of a doctored ticket in hand, Alan and Bob walked into a local diner where they gave the manager $2000 to pay for the meals of everyone there.
 
Within fifteen minutes, the restaurant was packed with enthusiastic reporters.
 
Pagani told the press that he had randomly picked the winning numbers out of a book called The Attractor Factor by self-help guru Joe Vitale (me!).

Despite blatant discrepancies in Bob's story, their hijinks made national headlines. 

 
Here's the truth about Alan...
Alan Teaches Creativity


Alan's specialty is thinking differently than you and me. He's often hired to solve problems no one else can resolve.

In 2007 he appeared at Pat O'Bryan's un-seminar and spoke to a riveted crowd. I gave the glowing introduction and then Alan was off and running. He revealed the behind the scenes hijinks for the above stories, but he also covered such things as --

• Jenny McCarthy's pee! (and how to sell it)

• Donald Trump's $1,000 check (and how to get it)

• The missing 18 minutes from the Watergate tape (and how to use political news to get publicity for your project)

• How he got publicity with the smallest penis in history (and how to get on national TV with an outrageous story)

• Omar's School for Beggars (publicity so BIG that people still remember- decades later.)

• How to create your own publicity

• How to get seats to yourself on an airplane (three for one!)

• The power of a string (and just how to pull it!)

The list goes on and on.
 
Though in his 80s now, Alan is bright and quick-witted and a hypnotic storyteller. He had the entire room in his hand as he told stories and answered questions.

These two DVDs reveal it all. And it's Alan's best work. They reveal the man and the legend at his peak. The audience loved him so much they gave him a STANDING OVATION and asked for an ENCORE!
 
I have to admit I'm sad to think Alan hasn't given that many talks to reveal his genius before. While he's often asked to speak, he doesn't accept all invitations and getting him recorded has been rare.
 
This is your chance to invest in "educational entertainment."
 
You'll learn as you laugh.
 
You'll stretch your mind, your heart, and your funny bone.
 
And all for only $79
 
I strongly urge you to grab these collectible performances right now.
 

	Watching Alan Abel's presentation was like lounging next to a tranquil lake with firecrackers exploding right next to me. The minute I'd get comfortable, thinking I knew what he would say next, another bombshell would go off, waking me out of my daze. This man is an absolute visionary -- boldly going where no sane person would dare to tread. By the end of Alan's blockbuster talk, I was more than just inspired and uplifted -- I had a list of at least half a dozen outrageous marketing ideas I never would have considered before I met Alan, and I was motivated to take immediate action. Alan, thank you for waking me up from my 30-year "mental nap" and teaching me what I didn't know I needed to know! --Amy Scott Grant http://NewSuccess.org - the ultimate free resource on Success

 

	"Alan's one of the most creative thinkers I've ever come across! " Alan Abel totally realigned my mind about what you can do, what you should do, and what you can get away with- when you're trying to attract attention to your product or service.  This guy is outrageous, and outrageous sells.    -Pat O'Bryan  www.patobryan.com

	“Alan Abel spikes his side-splitting tales of humbugs and hoaxes with stiff shots of subversion!” Alan’s stories of hilarious hijinks come laced with a hint of rebellion -- be fearless.  After watching these amazing DVDs you’ll transform your life and your business with one simple question – ‘What would Alan Able do?’    - Colin Joss www.backroadsmarketing.com

	"If P.T. Barnum has been reincarnated, it is in the form of Alan Abel." Sitting in a room full of marketers and infopreneurs, I had the great opportunity to not only listen to a presentation by Alan Abel, but to spend some quality one-on-one time with this legendary hoaxster.  Now, I could tell you how funny, witty, even provocative he was during his presentation, or about how much my sides hurt listening to him share the results of some of his most outrageous hoaxes, but what really impressed me was the man himself.  Later that day and again that evening, I had the privilege of sitting and chatting with Alan about life, humanity, the media, and a range of other topics. Alan Abel is a scholar, a professor, a scientist of the human condition.  His insights on human behavior are clever, if not painfully accurate.  Here's a man who spent his adult life with one goal:  challenging people to stop wandering around life like cows in a pasture, and to begin to think for themselves, without buying into the stories sold them by the media and society at large. Personally, I'm glad to know there are other Rhinos out there, people like Alan who stand for living outside the box.  I know that even applying one of the lessons I've learned from Alan has the potential to skyrocket your business.  I've already seen huge improvement in the fluidity of my business because the way I think about marketing.

PS -- The two DVDs include Alan explaining how you can change your thinking by looking at the world in a slightly twisted new way. I was there but I still love watching these DVDs to relive the moment. They help me reawaken the spark in me that helps me see opportunities and gives me the courage to implement my ideas. And both DVDs can be yours for a very small investment. These are collectibles you'll want to watch and share. Rare. Funny. Beautiful. Just like Alan himself.
