    His next stunt...

    apparently will be that he has made a subliminal video that, when you watch it, you will physically not be able to get out of your seat.

    he spent 57 minutes (including ad breaks) showing how he got a group of folk to help predict the numbers... and 2 minutes saying "we didn't fix the machine....honest!"
    The big let down for me, was, he didn't tell any of the group what the numbers were, so no witnesses.
    I do like the guy though, the knife under the cup thing had our lass hiding behind a cushion. The final cup untouched was 'unlucky' 13, but how he guessed the others....i dunno. Maybe something to do with patterns as they were grouped in lines of 5?

    RE: His next stunt...

    i believe that will be possible but not on everybody. Went on cruise earlier in year and there was an hypnotist on. He made everybody in room clamp there hands together and began do hes shpeel!! When he said now release your hands, around 80per cent of the people in the room couldnt!! Basically he explained after that its a simple technique about how relaxed your mind is. If u were too tense, the wouldnt stay together and that meant he probably wouldnt be able to hypotise you. Bet Browns stunt will work in a similar way.

    Seen him twice...

    Well worth the money both times. You'll not find out how he does anything.

    The one you're going to I think is the one I saw earlier this year. It's definately all real because he even ended up doing a trick with "our lass", which didn't involve hipnotism or anything.

    His is more NLP than hipnotism, though.
