Magician Reveals 100-Year-Old Secrets to Success

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., May 11 /Xpress Press/ -- When Bob Garner picked up a deck of playing cards at the age of eight and mystified his sister with a card trick, he had no idea that it was the beginning of a life-long passion. However, later when he read the classic works of three men who, over a century ago, wrote some practical advice on success and wealth, Garner knew he had found the secret to taking his passion and turning it into a lucrative business. Using these principles, Garner became a self-made millionaire who now travels the world on behalf of Fortune 500 corporations and associations, blending his sleight-of-hand magic, mind-reading and comedy with business and motivational information at meetings, conferences and trade shows. To help others ignite their passion for what they do and follow it to success, Garner recently took the teachings of those three men, updated and revised their text to be more "gender-friendly", and compiled them into a book titled "! Masters of Motivation," which is being called a "blueprint for success and life" by some business leaders and scholars.

The three men whom the 43-year-old Garner pays homage to in his book and credits for transforming him into the successful entrepreneur that he has been for the past 20 years are James Allen, P.T. Barnum and Russell Conwell.

"They showed me how to take my passions and create a business and a life," says Garner. "I'm living proof that their ideas on using the power of the mind to achieve the results you desire and how to become wealthy where you live actually work just as well today as they did back then."

Entrepreneurs, employees and employers alike are finding some helpful advice in "Masters of Motivation" ($12.95, Sunday & Weiss Publishing). Tom Burger, SVP of NEC America says, "'Masters of Motivation' should be in the hands of every business person from executives to front line employees." Holly Forsyth, a young pharmaceutical sales rep, appreciates the fresh new look at some old wisdom adding, "Thank you for making these treasures available to the next generation of super achievers."

From a small town in Ohio, with little money and no college degree, Garner took a deck of cards, some 100-year-old wisdom, and a dream and turned it into reality. His motto is "Nothing is impossible; you just haven't done it yet," and perhaps Garner is right. Maybe magic does exist, after all.
