@mattgriffin On one of the occassions that I saw him I live one of the females in the group I was with was asked (beforehand) if she wanted to be a part of the show. This got the whole group a seating upgrade so she immediately agreed. She was instructed to fill out an application because sometimes assistants are picked to go to various future events. The “application” consistented of “what’s you favorite cocktail?”+ “describe your perfect date.” Gross.
@Raydorman yup. he tried it on a friend of mine at a magic convention but she was not falling for that shit.
