Frightening to see how easy it could be for someone with the right skills to plant suggestions in your mind.

[Mr. Analog]

Have you seen the one where he just asks nicely for strangers wallets or video cameras and they hand it over?

He gives it back of course, but the people don't realize what's happened right away half the time.

A few weeks ago I spent an entire lunch hour addictively watching Derren Brown videos. I like how he always makes it clear that he is no metaphysical superhero, he's just good at utilizing basic psychology and NLP techniques to "control" the focus of others' minds ^_^

repetition and distraction is the key -- GREAT example (watch it twice )


Oh and the "blank money" bit was based on him talking about a friend's concern about the subway, he'd say "take it, it's fine" at the exact time of handing over the blank money

PS: who needs to learn to play Chess brilliantly? not Derren!
