Try and watch until the end because he sells other great stuff also. In the 1950s and 1960s, TV sold gadgets and I was a gadget freak. As a young boy, I bought gadgets sold in comic books that cost just a few cents back then. As I grew I began to buy exercise machines, TV remotes, robot toys, cheap Kodak cameras, and for my mom, this very famous Super Slicer. I could not believe all the things that it did and I was completely sold by this salesman. My mom did use it for a while and then I think dumped it after it cut her fingers on several occasions. But the salesman was masterful and I don't know how many millions of women and some men bought this thing. You can still find it on eBay as a collectible. My dad called it the Stupid Slicer as a joke. Infomercials like this one became hugely successful and they were far more convincing to me (maybe because I am a documentary filmmaker) than typical TV commercial style which I never believed and still don't. I present this now because I think it is still fun to watch and do his thing even if you weren't alive at the time when these gadgets seemed so "new". And I doubt that anyone who ever bought the Super Slicer could do it as quickly as this salesman did t This TV commercial/infomercial.
