I don't do anything 80%, 90% given the running today. It's like 120%. Wow. And that was the thing for about, I don't know, 20 years. It was more I was doing magic. I was always doing magic on the side. I paid for college doing magic. Really? Run a couple of businesses. Yeah. What did you do? Like do shows? So I graduated high school when I was 16. I like skipped a grade, all this.

And then my folks got divorced. Long story. Yeah. They moved back to Israel. I was born in Israel. So separately moved back to Israel. So I was a bit of a, I guess, I don't know, an adult. Like I had nobody supporting me. So when I went to college, I turned 17. I had to pay all the bills.

Yeah. So I had I was doing magic at restaurants. I've been doing magic at restaurants for like 30 years. And that's where I learned how to read people, just how to go up to a table of people who are like. Who's this twerp? Like, who's this nerdy kid with braces? Like, what are you doing here? Get out of here. And how do you win them over quickly?

And that's honestly the biggest skill is how do you in sales read people effectively? Right. That's what I'm selling. I'm selling the thought of reading your mind. Now, did you learn the techniques from books? Did you take classes? No classes. Books and videos. Did magic. And so mentalism is kind of a field. Like you had David Blaine in here, right? Legend. Yeah. Man, growing up, like, icon.

So magic tricks are different because magic is there's a sleight of hand, right? So you're deceiving your eye by making you look different. at the wrong place at the right time when I do a move. And I can practice that move over and over and over until I get it perfect so that when I perform for you, it works, right? Okay. Stand-up comedy, the most pure art form, right? You and a mic. That's it.

Mine is the closest. Magic, you have props. Mentalism, there's no props. Like I don't need you to pick a card anymore. I don't need it. I can just tell you think of a card and that's where I go with it. So now you start knowing how people think and you in essence reverse engineer the human mind. It's kind of like magic of the mind.

And so that's where it kind of went from magic and I kept doing more of the mentalism, more of it. But mentalism has a very steep learning curve. If you go do an open mic and you suck, how many people get to the level of getting better, getting better, putting in the work, takes 10 years to be funny for most people. Right. There's a couple of phenoms, but that's a different story.

So most mentalists, they drop off because I'm just going to go back to magic tricks. This works every time. Hmm. So it's more difficult to learn.
