Cool. Good infos there.. so has anyone gotten anyone to forget their
name? I find it hard to have the nerve to try it on someone, but the
one time I did, they just said, thats silly, as if I could forget my
own name.. and I was like oh yeah damn... but then realised they
didnt tell me!! So maybe they did.. who knows.. probably not though.
His mumbly patter is hard to follow, I guess its most effective to
fill all the gaps with something to occupy them. The hand on table
one is something I'll try a bit more, different to the planting a
card/letter one which can be quite annoying to do.. just tried the S
thing and failed, (probably) because I had very little eye contact..
don't want to completely freak out the person!
I don't think anyone here has a clue how he does the most impressive
one, getting completely random words! He's surely not using
suggestion or shit like that.. how can he get letters by repeating
the phrase "now keep an absolute poker face"? Does this make them
whisper the letters out or something? ;) I haven't a clue on this
one...
For people doing the 3 of diamonds trick, make sure you don't make a
SPADE shape instead of a DIAMOND shape, I think its easy to mistake
this one (I've gotten two 3 of spades responses!)
Also to avoid them thinking of a card straight away, dont mention the
card first, say "On this screen, a card starts to appear in front of
you"...
And how do they pick a 3? Not a 2 or a 4? I've gotten alot of people
to pick 3 without even bothering to make a squiggly 3 shape cause
that seems obvious, but they still usually go for a 3 (or 4).. never
a 2!
