The Amazing Peter Ragnar Confesses

Motivational speaker, magician, martial artist, author of over 20 books and courses on self-development sheds light on the science of winning. He is the author of The Awesome Science of Luck.

It was an early Sunday morning about a month ago. I had the radio on a Phoenix talk show station. For the next half-hour, I heard Peter explain how anyone could become lucky if they only knew how the science of luck worked. Science? He can't be serious. Does he know anything about poker?

Well, there he was again on Fox News reporting on the poker boom and plugging his book. It seems like Peter's been everywhere in the news lately. He's even been in Black Belt and Inside Kung Fu magazines six times talking about winning. Strange for a reclusive man who rarely leaves his estate!

I still don't know if he can play good no-limit poker. I haven't seen him on the world poker tour, but at least some who have say Ragnar's hit the jackpot in being one incredibly lucky guy. Poker king Charlie Shoten (author of No-Limit Life) just did a series of interviews with Peter about winning poker in a Vegas newspaper.

Reading Peter’s book, you get the impression that if you do what he does, it doesn't matter if it's cards, commodities, or condos—you're going to be amazingly lucky. Here's a guy who goes from being an unemployed construction worker to suddenly raking all the chips to his side of the table. He tells of falling from a 300-foot building, landing on an upside-down bucket, and walking away. Peter then has some stranger who’s about to go bankrupt give him a waterfront home and boat for $7,500. That's not a misprint! Ragnar then picks up a hundred acres for $3000 with a gas well and a fat royalty check. There's a story about a millionaire who offered Peter his white Rolls-Royce if he would share his secrets. Hey, how lucky can you get?

Ragnar swears luck is a science that can be learned. He enthusiastically believes that anyone can be a winner; it doesn't matter whether it's at the racetrack, the card table, or life. I love this guy's energy and so will you. Oh, his confession is -- he's never been to Vegas!
