In 2004, Las Vegas magician-comedian Mac King staged the world’s largest ever game of “whisper down the lane”, also known as broken telephone. King whispered “Mac King is a comedy magic genius” to the first of 600 participants. That first person then whispered it to the second person, and the second person to the third, and so on. One hour and 614 whispers round the auditorium later, the final player whispers back to King the phrase he has heard: “Macaroni cantaloupe knows the future”.

From genius to cantaloupe in just one hour! That’s the danger when whispering down the lane: inaccuracies can creep in and you end up with something completely different than what you started with. As trainers -- when training the Accessing Personal Genius training -- we are, in a way, “whispering down the lane”. We are sharing with our participants the intricacies of all the patterns and how they tie together to bring forth a genius state. We got it whispered to us and now it is our job to deliver this message as purely and accurately as possible.
