Starting a conversation with a person who you’ve never met can be a daunting prospect. I wanted to show you how I go about it – on a busy London street! This episode contains lots of useful tips to help teach you how to start a conversation that runs as smoothly as possible!
Another quality episode – didn’t have time to watch the whole thing but looking forward to finishing it later!
This is awesome – she’s right people arent as talkative in england – we need to change this!
Keep it up buddy.
I have just watched your latest episode after having watched the first…you are fascinating to watch..educational, encouraging, and funny. You can control your actions and conversations but cant control the persons reaction…which makes it all worth the while of delving into random conversations with random people!! I lurved it! tomorrow im gona stop everyone and say..hi…what you thinking about?? and hope i dont get clobbered with a granny stick. Keep it up Marcus..your fabaroonie…
Awesome video! Keep it up mate!
Hey man I was so inspired by your video that on my lunch break yesterday I spoke to 3 people.
The first was a girl from Canada eating a Apple. I aksed were she got it and had quite a nice convo.
The second was two old ladies vising my city. Very sweet
The third was guy from Holland taking pictures. Had a chat about football.
Also had a chat with a girl while waiting for a train. That was pretty cool.
You win/win mentality is fantastic, you can’t lose!
would just like to say to everybody how marcus ebook is so addictive and full of the bestest banter and knowledge of the conversational crooner from ‘London’ .I started reading it just to have a quick peek and go back to it…ha ha…not a chance…its brilliant and what a fantastic read…for now marcus…im slightly speechless…! big loveage to you
DAMN, that “Pace their Reality” is gold. Pure gold. I believe its like the key to build rapport right away.
Pure gold, indeed.
Sorry i’ve gotta fly, I’ve got some homework to do, it’s been a pleasure to be here. I’d love to chat some more with you, how about we meet back up again at episode 3?
Hey Peter D thanks for your comments! Come back for episode 3…it’s available now!
oh man, that’s a great stuff!
No cuts – and it makes this clip so true, so natural – great job, Marcus!!!
Thanks Kikey! I’ll try my best to do all my future live videos in just one cut!
thanks for the video.
I think your stuff is inspiring but a few probs with this video
first-the approach to the guy was appalling.
he clearly thought you were gay
second -with the canadian girl-far, far, too many questions
third-surely you are not claiming talking to someone who hands out free
newspapers is some sort of achievement??????
I do think your stuff is inspiring-honestly-you have some great ideas but really this
video is pretty poor

Hi Leo
Thanks for your feedback! The purpose of this video is just to show you that its fairly easy to get talking to people in a street environment if you so wish. I agree I did ask the Canadian girl quite a few questions to keep the conversation going, though i’m not too bothered by that (saw her down the pub after). I expect the chap i spoke to could’ve thought I was gay- whoops! Again though, never mind!
Hi Marcus, great video! I learned a lot from the way you broke the opening and transitioning down. You energy is very good and you are totally in the moment!
I am aware that you just wanted to show that it is actually possible to talk to people in the street. Three things that I noticed in a few of your vids is that you seem to talk quite quickly, you don’t tease very much and you don’t kino that much. With respect to the speed of speaking: is that on purpose or is it because you had a liter of coffee (just kiddin’). I know there is a fine line between keeping the energy up and talking too fast. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that talking so rapidly, little teasing and the lack of kino could cause you to end up in the ‘funny-guy’ box. At least, this is my experience from obeserving many people in field.
Love your stuff!!!

Oh man, I love how even though there were loads of questions to that girl she was still responding positively to you! Just shows that even when you don’t get it quite right, it still works! Re: the mistakes you made with the guy -perhaps to show people how it’s your methods that work and not just you, you should intentionally do some where it doesn’t really work out? Because watching you sometimes it seems like “yeah, but he’s so cool, maybe people just like him…” – so seeing you get it wrong could really show us how we are just like you really!
Dear Marcus, thanks for this very useful film! Especially the mindset, being enthusiastic and pushing myself through the first twenty seconds has helped improving my conversational skills with strangers. I’ve recommended this film to my friends too! Jaus
You and your videos are absolutely great ! Really love your attitude :b
Keep up champ
