An amazing trick from an amazing man

Feb 26 | 2015

The December issue of The Mover included a Mystery Mover photo of the greatly missed Pierre Luigi Muzzio, of Alpha International of Naples, Italy. Pierre Luigi died in 2007 but Antonio Gil from Mudanzas Clara del Rey in Madrid wrote to tell us of a remarkable talent that he had.


Antonio said that Pierre Luigi was an amazing man.  He told of a trick that he pulled off while at an industry conference.  “Pierre luigi left us all stunned when he asked a group of a dozen people to show him our credit cards,” said Antonio.  “In a very short moment, too short indeed, he wrote on a paper the sum of the digits of all credit cards and invited us to check if he was right or wrong. Someone did and wrote down on paper all the card numbers for calculation. His mental addition was totally accurate, amazingly.”

 

Antonio also sent a photo from November 1999 with Pierre Luigi (standing, first on left) with a group of overseas agents at the Wheaton Van Lines convention in Scottsdale, Arizona hosted by the Van Line in the style of a Wild West amusement park.  Were you there on the day?
