Just had my worst ever responses to BTL...

I have never had less than 75-80% hits before.. today I got 0%... thats right.. 0% !!!

i'll just post the responses..these responses were given in spite of the exact wording i have used for years!!

It was bright and sunny
Brown
woman
16-18 yrs old
looking from the side!!
none.. she was wearing contacts
guy running out room as he had been caught cheating
Colour

so i didnt want to give up so tried the other forces and got..

square inside a rectangle
number 9
10 Spades


WTH!!! my premise is always that some pyschics say only certain people are born with the gift, other psychics say that while some are born with it, some can develop it later in life, and a few psychics claim that anyone can do it.. and it this third opinion i want to test

So i just said.. "As i thought, you either need to be born with the gift or have a natural ability to develop it later in life and you have neither I'm afraid. Not to worry. You're just the kind of person that needs 3rd party input with this kind of thing and went into Sleuth by Michael Murray which kind of made sense going from a failed BTL to Sleuth because of the explanation of Sleuth.

But my gosh, he was coming with the responses so badly and there was nothing i could but take it on the chin and try a think of a way to clean up the mess

Dreadful!!

To get no hits at all, is just plain bad luck.

When Michael was developing it i was one of the people to deliberately give bad responses, so they could be covered.


Sounds like we missed some.LOL

I have been doing this effect for over 4 years ( I think ). It was just one of those things .. luckily i was able to use it as a demonstration by doing a successfull effect aftwerwards

Which is why B.T.L is such a good thing to have on you. Even if it fails, it has a use. :)
