Besides the obviously hundred ways to make money illegally such as robbing art museums and running cons its a lot more intelligent if you don't want to go to jail to make it legally. You could start a business or you could gamble but if your ever in need of some cash to start a business-ship-ness all you have to do is make a little money first by say performance art... of course you need some kind of skill for this such as sleight of hand or mentalism. There are many ways to make money you just have to look out for them in your daily life. Some ways might not seem like much but even blogging can bring in a revenue by having ads and page views.
There are many creative ways to make money if you stop thinking of it as being as big as it is. The psychological need and awe of it probably exists in your mind as it does in most minds but in reality money is easy to make. Capitalism is a system and making money is kind of like Linear Manipulation from way back in 6th grade.

The unfortunate name PMSS & entrepreneurs

PMSS or People, Money, Story and Systems is a business plan invented by entrepreneur http://entrepreneurwiki.com/index.php/Colin_Christopher_Campbell. Creating a large business is a time consuming undertaking and difficult due to having to put more effort into it than is put into the quality of a blog and its blog posts but since it is one of the most obvious ways to make money alas entrepreneurship must be featured in this weekend.
People: Have good people working for you and also spread the word so people know.
Money: Money is usually a good thing although companies can be started with little money this step is like a long con. At one point in the con the con artiste must put something into the deal perhaps even an investment and they risk that something with a chance of it failing and never coming back or of getting it.
Story: A company must have a story: something that catches peoples eyes and attention... usually something dramatic. This story could be how the company started to how its run to its unique products. For some reason the company has to be special.
Systems: Are obviously systems. You have to follow this system and other "systems for success" and have systems in place.

Creativity & Logical/High IQ Genii

Not only does creativity dramatically increase IQ but it expands the number of options a reasoner can think of & thus is cool. In conclusion every great Genius has had or has at least at one point in their lives a highly creative activity or mindset. Think I'm wrong? Think of as many ideas as you possibly can of why that is and then think of how clever you are. The relationship should be apparent but if it isn't feel free to post angered criticisms.

Whose theme is it anyway?

The 4 main themes of this blog are:

Carnie tricks from sleight of hand to mentalism. The broad extent of Carnie tricks & of the Carnie world.

Sherlock Holmes textbook I am compiling a textbook out of all of the paragraphs in Sherlock Holmes involving deduction. Of course after it is compiled it will be updated.

Sherlock Holmes II on BS

"It is one of those cases where the art of the reasoner should be used rather for the sifting of details than for the acquiring of fresh evidence. The tragedy has been so uncommon, so complete and of such personal importance to so many people, that we are suffering from a plethora of surmise, conjecture, and hypothesis. The difficulty is to detach the framework of fact—of absolute undeniable fact—from the embellishments of theorists and reporters. Then, having established ourselves upon this sound basis, it is our duty to see what inferences may be drawn and what are the special points."

- Sherlock Holmes

Basically there is a lot of BS out there. But how can there not be? I mean BS leads back to the age old question of what is truth. Truth doesn't exist only perspective thus if there are all these perspectives & everyone has a different perspective floating around then it's easy to get confuzzled and there's some other stuff in there too.

Sherlock Holmes part I

“I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.” - Sherlock Holmes

Yea I must agree with this quote & instead of restating it you can just read it. I'm going to take what I can find and create a series of science of deduction posts kind of like a science of deduction learning textbook or guide mostly from the words of Conan Doyle himself. Comment if you have any ideas or epiphanies about the matter.

You see yet you do not observe

People with the not entirely singular exceptions of sociopaths, con artistes, pathological liars and actors are terrible liars & open books. Every gesture, facial movement, twitch, globule of sweat and microexpression is a tell and an important factor in reading people and what they are hiding, feeling, thinking about & their personality can be gleamed by an observant persons glance.
To observe instead of simply seeing and not noticing all one has to do is pay attention. You could as Sherlock Holmes did observe rooms, clothing and individual marks that most people don't see such as calluses but there is a second type of observing. Observing of emotions & body language. If one is very observant of a persons facial sequences even a slight twitch of the mouth would go unnoticed and taken into account. Every movement of the eyes, audible breath, clasped hands, brief expression that last next to a second is important and factors into reading people. Most people throughout life learn to tune those out naturally and to see but not observe yet if more people observed yet did not see then society might be a much more unstable place as everyone could tell when another is lying. Lies save wars, relationships and many other things. Thus it is an evolutionary trait that people can read lies and body language to a basic extent but few people can read them to an extent of observing.

Domain Names

In the new modern age of the Internet domain names are as to the Internet as land is to risk players as we reach the second half of risk. Hopefully you know .com, .info, .net & all those other .domainnames (don't know if that would be a domain name but its a good one isn't it?).  Irrelevant as this is a vertically challenged post I shall be brief. What all this boils down to is now the government or more specifically ICANN is releasing all sorts of domain names & companies such as GoDaddy (sounds like some strange daycare but trust me their a big player), .club (they've got a decent name for once), Donuts (Internet domain companies have weird names yea but contrary to first impressions donuts actually isn't a bunch of chubby cops sitting around a computer screen eating donuts & plotting to take over the Internet) are buying up the big top level domain names such as .club. Thus we are entering a new age of Internet domains.

Body Language Part IV

Head:

Slow nodding: In slow head nodding you must check the focus of the eyes. It usually means attentive listening but if they eyes are not focused it may be only apparent attentive listening.
Nodding in general: can mean agreement. You head can subtly move up and down when you are in agreement often going unnoticed to both you and the rest of the group.
Head held high: if you hold your head high it generally means you are experiencing egotistical or superior feelings than to those around you alas it can be faked and often is. Certain royal families are trained to hold their heads high just for this reason.
Head tilted to side: is a sign of interest, vulnerability or trust or merely looking for a different viewpoint. Exposing the neck is a sign of trust...or rarely but in trying to influence body language it can be a sign of confidence. It also shows interest in a thing which is often accurate and not faked. It can show vulnerability but is a non-threatening often thoughtful signal.
head shaking in general: as with nodding head shaking is also a subtle signal of no as well as a broader signal when more dramatic.
chin up: related to head up but showing bravery and confidence often mixed with defiance angles the head backwards exposing a persons neck and drawing in more air to the chest which ends up making a person look bigger.
listening: when a person is listening they are exhibiting strong facial movements that either mirror the speakers or respond to what the speaker is saying. They might tilt their head.

Useful Terminology in Life

 Con man, woman or artist/grifter: the person who does and is in charge of the con trick.

Con trick/game/flimflam/gaffle/hustle/bunko/bamboozle: known such for the gaining of confidence from a person to swindle them in some way. Confidence is one of the key factors in con tricks.

Marks/suckers: the person that is the victim of said con tricks.

Shills: Accomplices or side helpers.

Short con: a quick con lasting minutes.

Long/big con: takes several days or weeks often very elaborate and involving shills, props and resulting in the gain of at least a thousand dollars.

Just a Random Thought

What is the psychology behind it? Why tea over coffee? Can you understand a person from their teas? People drink fruity teas often because they also appreciate the smell of them and more rustic teas black teas because they enjoy and crave the individual tastes of black tea but that's just a theory. How would I find out if I wanted to know? Well I guess I could look at statistics. But what if I tested a group of people and they just happened to all be members of a tea club. Well it seems that 1 out of every 1 person who enjoys tea also belongs to a tea club or...1 out of every 1 person who enjoys tea states that this type of tea is better according to a survey taken by our researchers. Thus are statistics influenced all the time even be accident. Say I where to take a survey in Britain of how many people liked tea. That in itself would be influenced. And if something has an 95% chance of being right then isn't it better to agree with that 95% chance than to invest in that small 5% chance? Thus is the US legal system...mostly accurate. It keeps the majority of people who would be a danger to society in prison.
But that isn't to say there isn't still a five percent chance. We can assume things and be almost right but can we ever truly be 100% right if there are small random anomalies in the universe? Even if I had a machine that predicted every single thing and had every bit of data it needed to make those predictions it would still be based on statistics and it would thus have that small marginal room for error thus everything statistically has a chance of going wrong.

Memorization Live with The gravedigger, Christina Perry and Crabbe and Goyle

Before me lies a deck of cards perfectly shuffled. 52 cards and also 53 people. The key to memorizing a deck of cards is that each of the 52 cards becomes a very clear image of a person in your mind and then when you walk through your memory palace you can see these people in your minds eye. The four of spades is just the four of spades to you but to me its also the gravedigger as 4 is the Chinese number of death and spades also means shovels. This is a play on words but works. Another example is the jack of hearts. To me this is Christina Perry as I see the J and it reminds me of the jar of hearts, a ghastly song, which in turn reminds me of Christine Perry. Then comes the two of clubs. I take clubs to mean brawn in this instance and it reminds me of Crabbe and Goyle....Thus the two of clubs is Crabbe and Goyle. Now I would go to my memory palace which is for this a street lined with shops and down a dark alley I see first the gravedigger snarling at Christina Perry who is arguing with him over a jar of hearts which the gravedigger wants for the morbid reason of being a gravedigger and Christina Perry wants for the reason of being Christina Perry. Next I walk into an Italian restaurant right next to the alley and see Crabbe and Goyle who after the defeat of the dark lord have become waiters and learned to speak in Italian accents. Thus and so on would one have to memorize to memorize a deck of cards.

To be or not to be

“To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.--Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd!”
-shakespeare from hamlet

Body Language Part III

Different types of smiles:

A coy smile is when a head is tilted sideways and downwards thus the person must look up at the person receiving the smile. It generally means a person is being coy hence the name.
A faked smile generally appears quickly and is fixed for longer than it should be. It generally looks unnatural and does not extend to the eyes. A practiced fake smile would also have a lower jaw than a real smile.
 A tight lipped smile or one stretched in a straight line across a face with teeth that are hidden tends to be a sign of rejection, dislike and distrust. It also is often used when the person has a secret that they want to keep secret.
A twisted smile or one in which each side of a persons face is showing different usually opposing emotions is one that either shows mixed feelings or sarcasm...sarcasm and similar emotions of dry humor being the most common usage of this smile.
A Natural smile is a smile that is natural. Its reasons should be obvious but to clarify it signifies happiness or satisfaction.

Miscellaneous Extras:

If a Bottom lip is jutting out this often means the person is crying or is near tears and is probably upset. In which case go man up or woman up and have a little human decency to go and comfort this person instead of reading clever blogs and amusing yourself with reading peoples body language.
Nail Biting is often originally caused by a strong negative emotion borne often of fear in very rare cases from repression of another behavior.  This usually begins in childhood. Later on even if the problem of what it originally stemmed from is forgotten it is still found to be comforting and thus signifies the need of comfort from stress.
Chewing Gum is in some cases is a sign of tension and of being inwardly suppressed but keep in mind that a person could be chewing gum for many other reasons...perhaps they are trying to overcome a nicotine addiction or maybe they simply like it. All gum chewers are not either suppressed individuals with lonely and/or abusive childhoods or drug addicts.

Body Language Part II

Eyes:
Darth Vader was mistaken in saying that the dark side is power...or at least he had never read anything decent on the body language of eyes or he would have instead chosen to go down that dark path of reading peoples emotions by their body language. Eyes are the main and most important thing in body language. Some...i don't know who...have said that eyes are the windows to the soul...assuming people have souls which I recommend you take up with another blog perhaps a philosophy one or http://monologueideas.blogspot.com/ Eyes look to the right when a person is creating thus accessing the right side of the brain. Eyes look to the left when a person is accessing memory or facts thus accessing the left side of the brain. Generally this means that when a person looks to the right they are fabricating or hypothesizing and when a person looks to the left they are telling the truth or what they believe to be.
Looking right and down tends to be experiencing emotions or accessing them whilst looking right and upwards is a sign of visualizing something imaginative often in the process of lying if this is a fact. Looking right and sideways means a person is imagining sounds.
Looking left and down often indicates having a conversation or debate/trying to decide something/deliberating with oneself to arrive at some kind of conclusion or answer. Left and upwards is generally accessing images in the brain, stating facts and very much telling the truth. Looking left and sideways often indicates remembering sounds and something a person has told them.



Direct eyes contact when a person is speaking tends to mean honesty but is one of the easiest signs to fake.
If a person rubs their eyes they could be bored, disbelieving or simply tired...alternatively they could need glasses or have eye irritations or itches. Eyes can dilate for many reasons and eye dilation is not a direct signal. The most direct signals are left and right glances and these tell the most about a person...other eyes signals can mean multiple and many things but these are the most important

Body Language Part I

An intro of body language:
Although males have better physical attributes genetically woman tend to have better mental and empathetic attributes genetically to better their chances of survival. There are six universal facial expressions including: Happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, surprise and anger. There are many misconceptions about body language. For example body language examples in movies are BS. While a dilated pupil can mean that someone is lying it can also mean a variation of other things. While crossing arms someone could merely be cold not defensive. Instead people who are good at reading other people generally focus on clusters of subtle signals and variations instead of the individuals. Amongst the following posts please keep in mind the situation and culture the person was raised in as this generally affects the body language.
It is actually very difficult to imitate or fake body language entirely as body language is once again based on clusters of information and not singular signs.
