At Swindon one or two things didn't work, and there were a few people he sent
back to their seats after deciding they wouldn't be suitable.

My take on this is that different people allow differing amounts of clues to
be revealed through their body language, facial twitches, etc, and that until
he actually has them up on stage or at least a lot closer to him, it is very
hard to tell whether someone will provide "enough" subconscious signals for
him to interpret. I think this is also why he tends to pick women from the
audience instead of men - women are more open with their emotions than men
and therefore more likely to display the signs he needs...us guys are just
too repressed to be of much use, unless massively relaxed or hyped up (say,
by having had a few drinks, or being ready for a football match!)...

Re: Dartford - I live quite a long way away (Wiltshire) yet have the chance
of a ticket, but don't know anything about parking there, or time it will
take, or anything - can anyone help with this, is anyone else going from this
neck of the woods, if so - how are you handling it?

Cheers,
Craig.
