I heard one really great line in there "You only want one? Ok you've got no friends. Just like me." after the the whole "buy a bunch for your friends," that line had a nice balance of making people feel like they suddenly needed to show off how many friends they had and yet not making the guy feel so terrible. Other than that I really don't see what makes this guy so special, I just kept waiting to be like "oh wow!"
- jacquesm 17y agoWhat makes it special to me is this: - the crowd that he draws in on a potato peeler - his continuous performance, not a gap in it, he never loses the attention of the crowd - his salesmanship, indeed, selling a bunch where he should only be selling one, and a few more little instances like that - the fact that the guy made an absolute fortune selling a $5 product to passers by - the fact that in spite of being a street salesman his presentation is impeccable - the fact that you can look at it and it looks so ordinary :) Now try it for yourself... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Ades http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Ades
