At Wild Wild West Con we join the delightful Madame Askew & the Grand Arbiter as they share strategies for wielding a well-timed compliment in the heart of a duel or during teatime. Smooth your way, make friends, & further the plots of world domination with the perfect compliment.
I like that they even provide tips on how to receive compliments!
For more on compliment dueling please see our other videos and recordings:
