People: Copperfield and the Best Press Release Ever

WHEN IT COME TO PRESS RELEASES, timing really is everything. So when we received the following e-mail in our inbox yesterday, we were a little perplexed (and not just because of the creative way 'disappear' is spelled). We had to share:

WHY DO CUSTOMERS AND PROFITS DISAPPER [sic]? What Illusionist David Copperfield knows about Marketing Conjures Cash and Eliminates Debt

If your readers' customers and profits have disappeared, they can't blame David Copperfield. More than likely, their marketing — or lack thereof — is the force behind customers and cash vanishing into thin air.

Executive business coaches Jimmy Vee and Travis Miller reveal how business owners, entrepreneurs and sales professionals can use the marketing techniques employed by David Copperfield and other entertainers to attract and retain the attention of their audiences and produce profit-like magic.

Here, Vee and Miller share a sample of their seven David Copperfield-inspired business building and marketing secrets that produce magical results ...

Vee and Miller are the authors of "Gravitational Marketing: The Science Of Attracting Customers" (John Wiley & Sons). They specialize in naturally attracting customers and creating E.S.P. businesses — enjoyable, simple and prosperous — by creating a powerful concept that shows business owners, entrepreneurs and sales professionals how to naturally attract a steady stream of qualified prospects who pay, stay and refer.

This comes out on the same day Copperfield is accused of sexual misconduct. Nice.
