When I come see you in October, it would be great to chat with you for 5 minutes aftewards.. try and draw out some of that knowledge

Mentalism is my ultimate goal but im concentrating on sleight of hand purely for performance, then I can start robbin wallets

Good work.. enjoyed it thoroughly

Thank you, i am glad that you liked it

I am sure that you can see me at some time before October. If you are trying to draw out some knowledge don't forget your trepanning kit

Kindest,

Mr Brook, are you asking me out on a date ??

I think the wife would be a little jealous, I kid you not

hehe.. of course.. I will no doubt be down in Birmingham over the summer so if you do fancy a swift one ( a pint that is ) down the pub, Ill be more than glad to meet up.. will be very interesting!!

As for the trepanning kit, I have my own methods to draw out knowledge.. think of how they used to mummify the greats.. Im thinking fish hooks and brute force then a trip to my back alley brain surgeon !!

Like you'd meet me now

I've been inspired. Deeper and deeper is on the way and will give the ency of stage hypnotism a read after.

Just out of interest (perhaps this is delving too far into the secrets) but what different suggestive methods are used? Would you for instance use a word that corresponds to clubs and another for the '4' to suggest the '4 of clubs'?

nahh...after thourough reading I have deduced two methods...

1)he changed his top realy quickly and it has on the front "play along and pick the four of clubs"

oooooor

2)He uses the following script...

right. i want you to pick any card FOUR instance a CLUB. Now, i want you to follow this story in your head...if you dont i will CLUB you one FOUR times. Imagine walking with FOUR friends to a CLUB. you buy FOUR drinks and each of the FOUR of you have FOUR rounds at the CLUB you are at FOUR the FOURTH time. After the bouncer sees the FOUR of you drinking underage at the CLUB, he realises that you have done this FOUR times so far at CLUBS all around town. He takes our his CLUB and says "if the FOUR of you don't leave this CLUB i will CLUB you one" you walk outside and find a deck of cards and pick up a card.

say what card you pick up...FOUR instance a CLUB

actually...i might try both those options...could earn me a fortune if they work

That is awesome Chris.. I might try that

I know my question probably deserves banter for the simplicity of my explanation (cheers Blapsing_Beard ), but I know absolutely nothing about the subject. I'm sure the methods are far more complex than simply suggesting words that correspond to a card and wondered if anyone could provide a bit of insight.

haha - dont worry mate - i haven't a clue either!

You are correct it is not just as easy as simple suggestion.

I would recommend looking into social influence and obedience as well.

You must know when the suggestions you will use will have the best affect, and when they will not work at all. Risk management

I do not use the word 'club' at all, as the person will obvious see what you are trying to do and think of something else.

Once you have read more into this subject I will be happy to recommend other books. There is a lot of material that you will need to read, do not overdo it to the point that you hate the sight of psychology books; take it easy, there isn't any rush.

I am glad that you are inspired, keep it up

Kindest,

I'll echo Pauls advice re learning about hypnosis. If you want to perform a routine for entertainment purposes you will rarely find anyone or anything to do with hypnotherapy of use. Seek out a stage hypnotist. Very similar things are involved but they are also poles apart.

It could make for a pretty effective (if slightly comical) routine if you could suggest a totally different card while using this script.
