Subject: Re: Terry came!
Have noticed the wedding convo being used as a 'break state'
condition in the use of anchoring to reinforce the kind of 'ambiguous'
commands like 'take me back (there)' i.e. to the concealed photo/
your wedding day. I've seen Derren do this often like breaking the
sequence by turning round and 'shushing' bystanders. I think it was
used to best effect on the martial arts punch, when he turned round
to the person on his left, taking off his coat and saying 'hold that
for me will you' masking that the embedded command was really being
directed to his experimental subject. Still doesn't explain Terry
from Lincolnshire though! *lol*
