Do any of you guys, or gals, use body language as a way to enhance your magic, learn how to read people or even with approaching people?
They have a "For Dummies" book for everything. In fact, no joke, I saw one called "Prostate Cancer for Dummies." Yeesh.
Someone had mentioned Derren Brown. While I do understand he's a studied hypnotist, I don't believe he incorporates much of it into his televised work. The videos posted above, in my opinion, don't have anything to do with hypnotism, NLP, body language, or anything psychological of the sort. It's just pure trickery under the guise of very effective presentation. Derren's presentation is so well-constructed, I think that fellow magicians and mentalists actually often believe the jibberish he offers as legitimate skills. The majority of what he performs can be found in age-old magic books that are probably in most people's libraries here.
