SUMMARY:The Crime of the Century – The Supermodel\, The Architect\, And the Insane Millionaire
DESCRIPTION:Click here to read more about this amazing story! \nAt the dawn of the 20th century\, America was riveted by the first celebrity murder case in America. Every element of this story is fascinating! \nThe murderer was already famous and so was the victim and so was the murderer’s wife. The venue was famous\, and so were the lawyers involved. The only thing missing was wall-to-wall cable news coverage! As I often say when speaking to audiences: “You can’t make this stuff up!” \nThe Crime: Stanford White\, the most famous architect in America\, was murdered on the rooftop of Madison Square Garden (a building he designed) by Harry K Thaw of Pittsburgh\, the insane millionaire heir to one of America’s great fortunes.  With some justification\, Thaw obsessively believed that Stanford White had drugged and raped Thaw’s teenage wife – the very glamorous and very young showgirl Evelyn Nesbitt. And just to make the story even more tabloid-ready\, Ms. Nesbitt was the first supermodel in American history. \nYou cannot make this stuff up! \nDoes this fantastic and unique true crime story sound just a little familiar? \nIn that case\, it’s because the story of the murder of Stanford White by Harry K. Thaw and the involvement of glamorous Evelyn Nesbit was the basis of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel\, Oscar Award-winning movie\, and Tony Award-winning Broadway musical “Ragtime” and the 1950s potboiler film “The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing.” \nThis fascinating\, one-of-a-kind multimedia presentation will bring to life the vivid celebrities\, lurid crime\, and surprising history of the first crime of the century. \n

SUMMARY:Black Friday: The Assassination Of Abraham Lincoln
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready for some high-energy history?\n \nWhen new clients ask me\, “What is your best presentation?” This is the one I point them to. I have been fascinated by the assassination of Abraham Lincoln for as long as I can remember. Unlike so many ridiculous conspiracy theories that float around the Internet\, the murder of Pres. Lincoln was the result of the terrorist conspiracy. You will be amazed by the personalities\, the strange coincidences\, the tragic mistakes\, and the far-reaching consequences of this successful act of terrorism. \nDrawing on my skills as a historian and a dramatist\, the dramatic events come to life with an explosive\, clear\, unforgettable focus. You become swept up in the tide of events that would change the nation forever. This fascinating presentation has earned standing ovations across the USA\, And I am proud to present it to you. \n \n Want to learn more?\n Click here to read the unexpected fates of the others in the box with Pres. Lincoln that night. This short article will give you a glimpse of the strange effects of the assassination. If you are fascinated by Lincoln as a person\, click here to read an article about my favorite movie portrayal of Lincoln\, and click here to read my response to truth and fiction in the famous Steven Spielberg “Lincoln” movie. And you can click here to read about the mind of Lincoln – how he decided to declare a national day of Thanksgiving in the middle of the bloodiest war in American history. \n I promise this will be a presentation you will long remember! \n A Bonus!\nClick here for a real treat. On the old game show\, “I’ve Got a Secret\,” the last known living witness to the assassination of Pres. Lincoln by the terrorist\, John Wilkes Booth\, made an appearance on February 9\, 1956. While his memory of the events is not reliable\, I still think it is a fantastic thing to be able to see! \n
