Ah, your true colors are starting to show. previously you mentioned that "The vapor is most likely water." So I contacted the source to provide clairification to which you throw out a bunch of ad homs instead of addressing any "real" issue you might have with what was presented. You disingenuously claim I'm making an appeal to authority when in fact all i did was provide the explanation from the person who made the video.

Are you really that prideful when being corrected about something you've misinterpreted?

So let me get this straight. The FDA subverts science, loses in court and now has to acknowledge that mercury vapor from amalgams can be harmful and yet you label me an anti-amalgam loon? that is quite humorous seeing as I have the science and court victory on my side http://toxicteeth.org/mercuryFillings.cfm

oh, you might appreciate this video also

But how can he be so confident that this would work? It seems like one of those things that would not work on everyone. What if he does the trick and it fails on live TV?

This is called Neurolinguistc Programming (NLP) and is based strongly in Gestalt psychology and a huge amount of statistical data produced in the 1970s and 80s concerning how human brains associate speech, concepts and sensations and what the testable results of those associations are. The actual origin of the phenomenon/heuristic is fascinating (literally a combination of psychology and math), and is a must-read for people interested in how humans influence and are influenced. For a long time it was used as a kind of quick-fix psychotherapy a la behavioral modification in clinical settings (patients would be imparted with associations of sensation and cognition without conscious awareness in order to relieve symptoms). These days, it's used in board rooms and at card tables as well. Not all of it works all the time, but unless you're performing tricks for an audience, no one is even going to know you're trying, so failure looks the same as doing nothing at all. Derren Brown is not just a practitioner of this art, he is a major contributing pioneer; he is, as he mentioned, aware of the risks of failure, and he has even stated that this awareness, imparted to his subjects, is immensely influential in getting the tricks to succeed.


I'm aware that it's NPL, but NPL doesn't work with everyone, just like hypnosis doesn't work with everyone. Yet he supposedly uses this technique in situations where he can't afford for it not to work. That's why I think he's using some other trick and just says that it's NLP.

I agree with both of you. The only other thing I noticed was he said the words send, screen, psychic, shout, and shouting a few times each (maybe not on "psychic"). However, I didn't notice it until the second time through when I was only listening for words similar to "boot", "shoe", "foot" or "leg".

>> ^Haldaug:
Derren is looking down all the time, I imagine he's looking at their shoes. He is also talking about sitting and the ground all the time.

>> ^handmethekeysyou:
I caught "Can you both look, (foot), just take your hand down..." at 5:17. Anyone else catch anything? Also his hand gestures, starting around 5:30 and ending when he has Richard settle on something, imply an object around the size of a shoe (as opposed to a large landscape or room or building or person, etc.)

"This song was denied airtime on most British TV and radio stations because it's “making light of rape, religion and abortion”."

Did you ever stop to wonder if the reason it's not getting airplay may actually be more simple than that?

From her blog: "Many of the stations like the track, and even the video but are bound by strict broadcasting rules."

Yeah, that's probably the easiest way to get rid of her...

Will do volumptuous. Never heard of him before yesterday - I was reading comments in that British TV Car show featuring the Ford Fiesta when someone mentioned the name of 2 songs by Amon Tobin. Went to youtube, and found this one, and loved it!


Hey that was my comment. Awesome.

Also, this non-hologram stuff was done on british tv a year or two ago, if my memory serves me correctly.

Something with jon snow, i think, so probably also to do with elections.

There's a good British TV series called "A child of our time"

They follow 25 children born in 2000 each year with a team of psychologists for testing etc. One of the kids was a serious HALO addict and in to most games in that genre. He was fine, a bit one sided but as they pointed out in the show, his games gave him something to talk about to other kids that was 'cool' so he was always very social and had lots of friends.

I think balance is the important thing. I'd be more concerned about obesity and diabetes than any mental problems from this behaviour.

Thanks for the note, I'm shocked it died so fast - gonna definitely give a look for another copy. Did an edit, not perfect, but the kludge will do for now.
