Impressed :)

Along with "that it" and "excellent", I would offer "as you
<blah>" Bandler uses this as a replacement for "you will now <blah>"

The one that is eluding me (unless my _guess_ is right) is the "put it in
the hand that feels right and leave the one that's left empty. That's my
left of course, but don't let me influence you."
I'm guessing that this is a confusion method to cover what he is actually
doing. Maybe there is a subtle tonality that I am missing. Any ideas?
