This good fortune was not limited to him. Family benefited too and close friends became rich, but it was not until a series of remarkable events took place that Clay decided he must share the source of his luck.
And more...
It all began in 1992 when new college graduate, Clay Franks was backpacking his way through Mexico. In a beautiful mountain village, he's transfixed by and buys an old painting at a souvenir stand.
Clay learns the history of The Magic Painting from a man who was trying to steal it from him. It was owned by a prominent Mexican family who had built a financial empire. When the painting was stolen from them in the early part of last century, some time just before 1908, misfortune took its grip.
To keep the painting, Clay is forced to do a midnight run, home to Southern California.
He now has the Midas Touch. Great financial deals fall in his lap and he's making more money than even he can fathom.
He shares The Magic Painting with family and friends, but never really seriously credits the magic until... his financial planner goes broke. This one man’s reversal of fortunes, after his own encounter with The Magic Painting, inspires Clay to share this golden artwork and story with anyone who will be so lucky as to discover their graces.
