Anyone remember this/the name please?

[Anso]

A long time ago on QVC (I'm thinking late 1990s or thereabouts) they had a guest from America quite often. A guy selling cassette courses for improving your Memory. He had a really neat technique for learning lists etc. He also sold a Maths course (for learning how to calculate big sums in your head without pen & paper etc) and maybe something else too. Big boxes it was (mainly blue and red in colour?) that opened up holding lots of cassettes.

Does anyone remember this please? His name or the name of the courses? Are they still available today...?

Hoping someone knows what I'm talking about :happy:

Thanks in advance :sun:

Wasn't he exposed as a fraud? His name will come to me v soon. He also was in a relationship with one of the blonde QVC models (she's since married someone else) she's the one in the Jergens advert with no clothes on. And they presented a very poor shopping channel together for a while.

that must be why he was jailed, nothing to do with his "cures"

Wasn't it Anthony something had a very long face and quite tall?

Antony Robbins?? Or something like that?

It was definately Kevin Trudeau - had one of his memory tapes. You're right I think he was jailed for something (fraud/embezzlement I think, though not 100% sure). Anthony Robbins is now probably the most famous/successful PMA guy (positive mental attitude). I read his books Unlimited Power and Awakening The Giant Within around 15 years a go and they were very very helpful. Easy to see why he was a success - ideas that helped my business, weith loss and quitting the weed (though a divorce got me back on that one!). His later books were a bit too heavy though - seemed to take his ideas too far and too extreme. I remember he used to charge $3,000 an HOUR back in the 90's for a 1 to 1 session. I can believe it was worth it!

Though like everyone he is human - had an affair and left his wife apparently - after preaching the values of marriage in his books. Still worth reading his early stuff. Paul McKenna type stuff is based on his stuff - PMA and NLP (neuro linguistic programming).

Oh and he's about 12 foot tall!!! Ok about 6'8".
