So a few days back I get a tweet from @scottdavidcoles saying my links to Harry Lorayne's website demonstrations don't work.
So I prematurely email the site http://www.harrylorayne.com/index.html and the email address is simply one that looks like it is going to the site administrator. I simply said that on my iPad the videos for the demonstrations bring up an error message.
A few funny things happened. I get an email back pretty soon saying "Have no idea what you're referring to."
Hmmm. Odd message from a site administrator I thought to myself. Usually they give you a canned response as to why you are not getting the video and a few possibly reasons. This was a different message indeed.
A little later, I checked out the site again, this time with flash on my PC and everything worked fine. So I thought I would email the site back just to let them know that I had figured out what the issue was.
So I email back saying "Sorry it works with windows but not with an IPAD."
Then i check where the email is coming from... its coming from a Harry Lorayne address.
Could it be?
Nah.. there's no way he actually answered my email about his website.
So I email the person this...
"If this is THE Harry Lorayne, I am a huge fan and wrote a poker memory book applying your systems, I mention your Memory book throughout my text.
It's the first of its kind. Truly an honor. If it isn't, please pass on the message that he has a huge fan in Winnipeg.
Bennett Onika"
So what happens next I get an email back oddly enough at the grocery store where I memorised half the grocery list my wife had, and there it is...
Hi: Yes, Bennett, this is THE Harry Lorayne. Glad you straightened out the site thing - I'm a lousy computer person, so wouldn't have been able to help. I'd much rather you mention my website (harrylorayne.com) rather than any of my books. However... Best - Harry Lorayne.
To which I replied..
NO WAY!!! That is so awesome! I will put your site on my blog! Thanks for impacting my life. I just wish I would've known about you 30 years ago I would've got a lot less beatings about my marks.
As a matter of fact I am at the grocery store and memorised half the list lol
I am on twitter @bennettonika and check out my book description you are mentioned
Such an honor!
To make a long story longer, Harry Lorayne answered my email, which to me is like meeting Michael Jordan. I mean really, he was on Johnny Carson, and sold over 7 MILLION books on memory.
Anyways checkout his site with a PC you will be SOOOOOO glad you did.
