Subject: Re: [Derren Brown] Observation - Oxford Student Union
I spotted the art gallerie one :-)
It's when he get's him to change his mind. No that's not it either, think OF
SOMEONE ELSE, think OF SOMEONE ELSE.
He is actually saying "think Orson wells", or at least blurring between the
two.
He even repeats it for effect.
Simillar thing for Battle at the beggining of MC1.
If you notice it isn't just the word, the whole sentence has two meanings.
One dirrected at the conscious mind, the other at the unconscious.
The whole of the lead up to this, is to get him in an unusual state of mind,
where he might be confused and more seceptible.
He does get him to change image once more after this command, I am not sure
how he knew, When the guy had picked up on the subliminal.
