Yup. "You're all very a tractor ve." Notice that the guy "spoiled"
the effect in his comments: "As soon as he looked at me I thought of
a tractor".
That was BEFORE the crowd "transmitted" the idea to him. So the crowd
and all that was just extra fairy dust to make it look good. The real
effect was that planting. Who knows what else went on through the
rest of the night that we didn't see.
On the thinking of an object: That was a cute trick he pulled "Can I
take your drink" (chugs it). So what's she thinking? I'm going to
need another drink. That helps with the "bottle". He draws a bottle
in mid air a couple of times. He even says "let it pour over you".
It's so not-subtle, but only when you can objectively watch it back :)
Mike.
