Subject: Re: Tonights mindcontrol
On watching the programme for a second time, I noticed that with the
man who was imagining himself swimming in a pool, DB first told him
(as usual) to keep changing his mind UNTIL immediately after he had
said the words "back and forth". THEN he said stick with that image
or words to that effect. Well the only activity in which you go "back
and forth" is swimming in a pool.
This is a series that is vital to tape. It's so interesting to be
able to study it for clues as to how he achieves the effects. I
only "discovered" DB when he was last on Richard & Judy (which I
rarely watch), so I'm very happy I just left the TV on that channel
on the very afternoon that DB was a guest. I'm fascinated to see what
can be done, this is all very new to me, unlike most of you. I'm
learning a lot by reading your posts. :-)
I also want to thank all those people who upload files and post
articles and transcripts of interviews for those of us that have
missed them. It's very much appreciated.
