Questionable source

[edit]

Re. footnote #69, why is consumeraffairs.com being cited? Talk about "reads like an ad." We're talking about a website literally created to move infomercial merchandise. N8chz (talk) 00:33, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No mentions of Trudeau as 'Human Calculator' or able to memorize astounding number of names and audience-provided list of random items?

[edit]

Hi all, does anyone know how to research Trudeau's beginnings? ..Well before the FTC stuff, vitamins, books, and health stuff. I believe he was on talk shows or infomercials in which he did blazing speed calculations in his head, memorized a long list of unrelated items given randomly from audiences, and cited it forwards and backwards, and also memorized 25-30 or so audience members' names. Does any of this ring a bell? (Haha ps, how did he do it, the Human Calculator thang plus the peoples' names parlor trick??) Thanks! Vid2vid (talk) 06:44, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article does mentions this under Kevin Trudeau#Audio tapes: "Mega Memory". According to the FTC, these claims were false, so the answer to "how did he do it" is: "he didn't, he just lied". Worldcat says the cassette Mega Memory came out in c1992, which would've been the same time his was serving his first stint in federal prison. This was early in his "career" such as it is, but not before the FTC stuff. Grayfell (talk) 07:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I'm mistaken, it appears it came out earlier, in 1989. Further info might be found by searching for "Mega Memory" and "Advanced Mega Memory", but be cautious of WP:FRINGE and WP:RS. Grayfell (talk) 07:33, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There needs to be a separate page for GIN. Some people have accused it of being a cult. Grad0507 (talk) 13:19, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
