#199 - Charles Gauci - A Lifetime of Magic

Charles Gauci has lived a long time. His 77 years have taught him a lot, much of which he shares in this intimate interview. He began as a hypnotist, then worked for two years with Peter Reveen, then toured with his own magic show. Inventor of 302 commercial magic tricks, his "Eye to Eye" has had over $600,000 in sales. Charles regularly entertains in the south of France on the French Riviera to the rich and famous.

While he was on his "Farewell Lecture Tour" of North America, he took time to share the microphone with me to tell some interesting stories and share some great advice.

Charles tells us about how hypnotism changed his life...literally. Charles gives us a very good tip on including your photo on your business cards. He also talks about how he got started working on the Riviera with loads of stories along the way. He also talks about self hypnosis and why the power of positive thinking fails 95% of the time. It fails, in part, because of the four fundamental laws: the power of positive thinking; the power of negative thinking; when the will power and the imagination are in conflict, the imagination will always win; and the law of reverse effort. You will have to listen to understand these.
