Hello Stephen
Can I say, to start with, that my provacative posts are just meant to
be that way - provocative.I think that being provocative is one of
the redeeming qualities of Bandler...
Much as I hate to needlessly reveal anything about myself I will
admit to having studied nlp for quite a few years. I've trained and
I've read about nlp fairly extensively. I did this because I thought
it was a breakthrough way of looking at the world. To some extent I
still believe that this is true.
I have also studied magic and mentalism extensively for quite some
time.
All I can say to you Stephen is this - if you are truly interested in
learning about the type of things that Derren does you will need to
look beyond nlp. Study magic and mentalism seriously and you will,
over time, be able to see what it is that Derren is doing.
I hate to have to even say that it's all about magic but I feel
compelled when there are people on here seemingly desperate to waste
money on nlp courses in order to "do what Derren does".
If you want to study nlp for your own reasons (and I did) then do it
but don't expect miracles...
