Hawk7, I don't take offense, but please let me explain myself. And I ask that please no one take offense back. :) First off, no, I am not a scientist. But I am a big fan of science and a big skeptic. Being a stage hypnotist, I make it a point to separate the "supernatural" from the...

I have to agree with that - it's just a theory right now. I can't imagine why it would work on optical illusions where there are two squares with the same shade of grey but one is surrounded by a black background, one surrounded by a white background. One grey square will seem darker than the...

LOL --- good point. :) If I may, I'd like to give you some of what I do. So you might want to try things like: Laughing Gas Word: People laugh at on single word (hint: To start off with when trying this, use a funny word like "Kumquat" then later you can make them laugh at any word). What...

I can't see the vid, (I'm at work, you tube is blocked), but it sounds like you got it right, Aris.SA. Thanks

Forgive me for this "noobie" question, but I would like to learn this flourish. You are holding the deck face down in your hand the the card spins slowly on top of the deck face up. I like it. I wanna learn. So if anybody knows the name and where I can learn it, it would be appreciated...

Sorry, I wasn't directing this towards you specifically. And I'm sorry if I was on a high horse. I had just gotten home from seeing my son and it was very late. So I might've come off worse than I had meant to. Please take my comments as discussion and some explaination of things I know to...

Highly Unlikely too. Especially with a stage hypnosis. Look, I've been doing hypnosis for almost twenty years, and stage hypnosis for eight years. (I do R rated and X rated adult Stage Hypnosis Shows). It does not change a person's morals, you can't. And you certainly can't use a...

One last ditch effort.... Yeah, I'm a geek... :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/20332459@N08/2539717715/

Ohhhh hell. Well. That's okay. Kinda figured, but worth a try! :)

Okay, I'm late, I don't know if anyone's done this. I'm sure someone did. I haven't checked the 12 pages yet. I just got back from seeing my son. But in case no one has, here goes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/20332459@N08/2540430008/ Thanks!

I have to agree with you both there. However, the only reason why I thought Lisa was going to go was that she was visibly scared. I don't mean to be cruel, I'd be really scared if I did this stunt (if I did it at all), but she was so visibly shaken and scared while the other two had a...

Dang it. I have Witness too. Love it. But I have my son this weekend. If I do get to participate, I won't be around until 10:00 or so.... Oh well. Next time Good luck everyone! :)

Thank you all so much. With your advice, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. If you have more tips, please post. I can use all the help I can get. :)

Hi. I've been dieing to do this flourish for a long time. I did find the T-11 vid on it, (Thanks, guys!) but I still can't get this to work. It's like a lawnmower. It will start then stop. Or when I lift my thumb the card just wants to fall. I realize that I'll need more practice...

...wouldn't anger me. And I bet I'm worse than you! :)

Derren Brown also explains it well in "Tricks of the Mind". But honestly, it's another form of suggestion. It works a slightly better than a straight suggestion simply because you cause a physical connection.

Actually, this is also a part of how suggestion works, (such as the stuff Derren Brown does), but sort of in an opposet way. The way suggestion works is to distract the person so much with something irrelivant but confusing that they don't recognize you've given them a suggestion. Before...

I've been doing hypnotism for almost twenty years, and stage hypnotism for about eight. Derren Brown is a great start. I recommend "Tricks of the Mind" for a great overview without the supernatural stuff. Also Ormond McGill has a book called "The Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnosis" which is a...

Let's see. I play the radio, the CD player AND even the DVD player. I used to play the tape recorder and the record player but there's not much demand for that anymore... :D Honestly, I am in no way a musician. I couldn't carry a tune in a fork lift......

Great effect I thought. Good start. You need some pratter, though. And I like DannyT had a great suggestion, too. You got fire, you got glowing, damn, man, you've got all the stuff of a great haunted story to go along with the effect! :)
