One of his most popular tactics is to conduct his own audit for his latest results. If he does not find it, he does not get paid for the day. When he is led off stage and into seclusion by some of the audience, he commands the audience to conceal an envelope containing his paycheck. He then re-emerges and hunts through the crowd, with almost always being able to locate the correct location.
