One of Mrs. egg_'s aunts hung around with this guy for a long time, and so there's some of literature knocking around her parents' house - I had an amazing leaflet of his from the 70s that goes on and on about his "powers" and the fact he has a white aura. Have moved house twice since I saw it last, must have a look for it though

I presume he believes his own nutty bullshit - hope so anyway, cos if he doesn't he's a very bad man

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

never heard of him. he seems to be quite a success - look at this pic of him performing surgery on someone sans anaesthetic!

 

[Anthony]

Regular Live Line stuff.

 

[MDR]

He lives in a Martello Tower in Portmarnock. He takes people who want some sort of kick up the arse and brings them to Barbados to talk them up and get them to take vitamins. My uncle-in-law was all into this hokey rubbish.

Do you remember the tragi-comic documentary about a guy Marcus who was trying to be a rapper/pop star on the back of several hundred grand from some of his mates - they were all Tony Quinn followers.

wow that sounds amazing.. do you remember what it was called?

seems like you have to pay a shitload of money to go on his courses.. the lady on liveline who was defending him sounded like a real weirdo

 

[cpr]

I knew a woman who went to his weight loss classes which were essentially similar to the Atkins Diet. she had to take a load of vitamin pills,go to his gym and only eat meat more or less and his supplements.It cost a bleedin fortune. She lost a few stone but as soon as she tried to eat normally again she stacked it back on..the moral of the story is...eh i dunno..I guess there is none.

I'm deeply ashamed to say I was. Sounds like TQ is making money. Good for him. If people like it, good for them. Capitalism innit.

That's about the size of it. California/American "Yoo can do it!! Be a winner! Grab the opportuunidy!!" type o' shit. Mildly cultish maybe on the minus side.

it seems like the people who go to his seminars and don't become successful are pretty bitter towards him..

it's a shitload of money to go on them, do you not reckon he might be playing on peoples insecurities a bit, as in

'mm i have no self confidence or success, if i pay 18g to go on this seminar my life will be fixed'

fair enough.. charge for the course but it seems like an extortionate amount of money

it's something like 64grand for the two week one!

you'd think he might get something done to his cheeks with all that money.

 

[robitusson]

Oh it's extortion alright. Still, up to people how they want to spend their cash. There are tons and tons of products and services that are a complete and utter waste of cash. TQ is another one on the pile. Why not charge a bomb? People probly think it'll definitely work if it's really expensive. "Hmmm, must be good, it's pricey as f**k" is the logic I suppose.

holy fucking shit ro.. thanks for that.. the most bizarre documentary i have seen in a while..

how the fuck did they invest so much money into it?

lunatics

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I tried to convince a journo friend of mine to do some sort of expose on Quinners a few years back but he wasn't interested.

He reminds me of that american hypnotist that Louis Theroux once covered for weird weekends. The guy who was flogging a useless millionaire mentorship program to hapless vunerables.

He still is!

[sweetoblivion]

that Marcus documentary is some mental shit. wonder what he's doing now?!

 

[MDR]

Tom Dunne does well not to burst out laughing while doing the voiceover.

 

[the strange guy]

In fairness to the rip off cunt, there's always a place for people
willing to prey on others' insecurities. People are attracted to
'leaders' who claim to have the answers but only reveal them to the
worthy (or rich). It's the basis for most religions.

 

[Cormcolash]

There's some truth in that. If you want to know what the whole truth is, just send me some money on Paypal, and I shalt verily reveal of it to ye.

 

[sweetoblivion]

if i send you 50e will you pray for me not to sleep in tomorrow morning? it's really important. God speed Cormcolash.
