My advice? If you want to know how Derren did the Mall skit, just get
some books on NLP. Frogs into Princes is the Introduction, but Trance-
Formations is the one with the real meat in it. What you're looking
for is phonetic and syntactic ambiguities, which are also covered in
Patterns in the Hypnotic technique of Milton Erickson. They are very
easy to learn and the only limit to using them is your own vocabulary.
You certainly DON'T need the Wonderwords/Wizards thing to do
it....they may be very good (I don't know, I don't own them), but I
knew exactly what Derren was doing the moment I saw the Mall segment,
and I can honestly say that most people with a little training in
either hypnosis or NLP could easily replicate that effect...I trust
you have noticed the embedded/ ambiguous commands that Derren gives
in this segment? So come right on up pronounced 'So come RIGHT ARM
UP' and so on?
That's all that it is, communicating with the unconscious whilst the
conscious portion of the brain is distracted by all the pretty shop
windows.
If anyone here has Wonderwords, can they post a review? I'd love to
know if they are worth the money or not.....
