Subject: will this work?
Does anyone think this will work.
Ask somebody to think of their phone number but not to say it out.
Then ask them "are u right handed or left handed?" When they
reply "right" say "why then is ur right left hand so blue to STOP
THINKING OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER (said slightly slower) when all u can
do is STOP THINKING OF YOUR NUMBER" (while optionally waving ur
finger in front of them).
Then immediately ask them to say their phone number again while
gently reminding them that they cant!
Theoretically this should work as the questions engage the person and
keeps them interested while also getting them to retrieve information
from inside their mind. When they come across the confusing sentence
they become suggestible to the only line that makes sense "STOP
THINKING OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER". Waving your finger may help with
certain 'difficult' people as it provides another distraction for
their conscious mind.
Finally try this on a girl u fancy and even if it doesn't work, u get
their phone number!!!
This technique has drawn on the London underground and Shopping
center techniques of Derren and if anyone gets it to work please tell
me!
