Right, thanks!!
I have a grasp of what derren was doing in the mall, but I want MORE
OF ONE, if ya know what I mean ;)
Unfortunately, I don't have it recorded, which is why I am so
interested about that mindcontrol night on E4.
The thing is, I'm not sure how I would replicate that on.......say,
some friends for example. It would be pretty hard to get their
conscious mind to occupy, while I feed them subliminal messages.
Hrmm....Sure it's something I'll look into soon...
Atm, I'm just looking for Derren's 'pure effect' book (THE FIRST
EDITION!), if anyone knows anyone, or has one to sell, please tell me
ok!! :)
Thanks.
