Here is a more recent one. I look old and tired here but at least I am still above ground.

Brilliant as always, Mark. I love it.

How many Svengali decks might you sell on a typical day doing your pitch?

You certainly have that routine down to a fine art (including the trick with the Dutch Looper, and with Jeremy the Worm), and it is very entertaining.

The most svengali decks I have sold in one day is 470. The least I have sold is zero! I have to confess the latter has been slightly more than the former!
Incidentally when Jeremy is not available Marmaduke is a very good substitute:
