I think we are being a bit too hard on DN, this stuff is not too hard to believe when you first get introduced to it. I had a relative of mine do the "push your arms down" test with me to try to get me to buy uncomfortable magnetic insoles for my shoes. She was completely convinced of their powers, even when she was demonstrating their effectiveness by pushing my arms. Unless you have heard about how this works before you are introduced to it, its conceivable that even smart guys like DN might think there is something to it when it is presented like it was in the video. And its not like they drove a truckload of money up to him and told him about the scam and got him to lie about how awesome it is. That might be a different story.

Those stickers are actually stealing your soul and storing them in the hologram!

You are all going to want to buy my Soul Retaining Wrist-Band. Only $2 each but you will want to buy all 20 to cover the entire range of "soul frequencies" that are being attacked by the hologram. Also repels demons, attack birds, and the Amish (but not an Amish Demon... you will need the pendent for that).

PM me to order.

If you happen to believe a sticker taps into the supernatural energy fields, long forgotten from ancient times, and enhances your poker skills... it is safe to say your not one of the "smart guys".

The companies FAQ is hilarious

Quote:
What if I got a “bad batch” of Strips?

There are no bad batches; based upon the manufacturing methods it is not possible. In addition there are outstanding and strong quality control checks and balances.

Are Endura Poker Strips ok to use on pets?

Yes, animal acupuncture points are different than humans so you may need to experiment with your pet to get the desired results. The Relief Strip works the same – place them right on the point of discomfort.

He will when the first question every poker player ask him, when he sits down at the table, is if he's using those cosmic-energy enhancing poker stickers.

Wouldn't be surprise if someone called the floor and accused him of using supernatural powers to enhance his poker skills... after all, we are talking about young poker players which aren't exactly known for their reserved demeanor.

That's what makes it a "Level 2". Even more LOLZ!


/For the record, I have no problem with this marketing or product. I'm in the "if someone is stupid enough to buy these, they don't deserve to keep their money" camp. If they aren't buying magic poker stickers, they'll just be spending that money on lottery tickets or crack.

Come on, really? This is waaaay different.

In poker the players know they're getting scammed. Or at least they're aware of the possibility that they'll get suckered into a bad call/fold. Deception is an open part of the game. But here they're being sold a bill of goods under the guise of authenticity. This is more akin to players who cheat than players who just play poker.

So when your grandmother calls you about this adorable sales men who just sold her ocean-front property in Kansas... you're going to be perfectly ok with that?

These stickers have been used for years in golf and Dewey swears by them. He says they alleviate pain when he uses them while he golfs. I've never used them at golf except for this one shot at the Mark Wahlberg Celebrity Golf tournament earlier this year where they had a booth and were showing us how they work.

Like I said, I'm not getting paid a dime by them and I don't use them while I play poker. Unless you've tried the arm thing, though, I guess it's impossible to prove to you that it worked. I felt a distinct difference when Dustin did the arm thing on me for sure. Maybe it's placebo, maybe I'm nuts, but I'm telling you I noticed something different for sure.

Probably already said itt, but I'm not going to read it all. This is just a spin off of the power balance bracelets. They don't work.
