Subject: Re: [Derren Brown] Re: anchor
For those of your who haven't read it, there are some nice examples of
anchors in Derren's Book "Pure Effect". For example, he even suggests using
anchors to encourage reaction from the audience by anchoring a person's
previous "wow!" reaction to a trick.

I think stand-up comics have been doing it for years.
A typical routine might include an almost throwaway gag near the
beginning. After a few minutes of other stuff, they refer back to
that line. The audience feels like they're in on a joke.
Exploring further, I suppose the next act could refer back, too,
making it a running gag for the evening.
