One possibility is that the camera crew following the old geezer can let her know what's being touched and she can then add subliminal suggestions in the chat she gives to his wife. (Don't forget we're seeing an *edited* version of what's going on.) The rest of the series (another three episodes) is also posted on YouTube and the others are even stronger than this first one. Yes, like you, although I'm entertained by this kind of mind control it is also a bit worrying that people can be so easily manipulated without being consciously aware of it. Makes you wonder how far we're being controlled in our everyday lives. Derren Brown could rule the world if he wanted to. Maybe he already does. Did you see the one where he ran a management training course but trained them to commit armed robbery without them knowing? And they did it. How scary was that! And on the last Channel 4 show he did he worked out someone's mobile phone number by doing card tricks! Or the one where he strolled round town mugging people by politely asking them for directions and then asking for their car keys and wallets! I love this psychological manipulation stuff, it makes me think there's a key to people you can work out and then do what you like but I'll bet he just wants it to look like that. I also like to think that it wouldn't work on me, but don't have much confidence about that. Clearly we really are all half aware. I've only seen a bit of this K Mills video so far but the dwarf policeman stunt seemed like the sort of thing that can't be misinterpreted all that easily! You either guess it right or you don't... We have to trust that there was no "cheating" on her part due to the fact we are viewers and she can edit and do all sorts of things off camera so if that is the case then I love her variety of ways in which she presented her ability to manipulate others. But some ways were not explained or evident - like the older couple touching and drawing or the texting guy at the beginning or how he then figured out she had been eating popcorn. Then she does explain the car buying guy to some extent. But yes, the idea of being subtly manipulated all the time by virtually everything we do, whether someone takes advantage of our suggestibility or not, is truly fascinating. Probably already today I have done ten things that were not of my idea, just suggestions planted by various positioning of things or something I saw out of the corner of my eye while typing this.
