    I agree with everything you say, he also seems to raise his shoulders as well as if he was growing even bigger(not sure if those are just deep breaths or not lol).

  7. When you are trying …
    When you are trying to get someone into a trance without touching them, you focus your gaze at the segment of the nose between the eyes. That way your eyes won’t move and the other person feels a. greatly intimidated (watch lions and other big predators) and b. like you are staring into his “soul”. Next think of the most evil thing you could do to that persons head and and send that evil look to him.Try it on friends,it works.Dont try with hot babes, the’ll cry…seriously

    Thanks for your …
    Thanks for your reply. Interesting stuff. Yes I knew about some NLP stuff (I’m reading books about it), but I’m still learning. So do you think Derren won from the bald man because he changed focus from one eye to the other? It seems so simple. Also Derren is really confident in what he does, I think that helps. I want to know what he did to master him, is it just the eyes or more?

  13. The touching is …
    The touching is called anchoring. It’s a neuro-linguistic technique. I don’t’ think that anchoring was used much here though, or he would have done it more. The physical sensation (or gesture, or sound) coupled with the existing emotional state will re- trigger that same emotional state every time the anchor (or trigger) is applied. You can also anchor however, with eye movements, by changing focus from one eye to the other. I’m guessing this was a very fast ellman based induction.

    Awesome. Yeah, you …
    Awesome. Yeah, you could see the guy was falling into a trance when Derren was touching him before he said ‘Go!’. Can you tell me something about how that works? The touching and stuff. He also touches the second guy on his shoulder before they begin.
