Test Two

Here's a fun thing to try with your friends. It is a way to influence them to say exactly what you want them to say.

Now, it's important to realise that this doesn't work with everyone but it should work with most of the people most of the time.

It works like this...

Just ask one of your friends to say the word "WHITE", out loud, ten times in a row...

Then immediately ask them a question ...

"WHAT TO COWS DRINK? "

9 times out of 10 they will say "MILK" .... which is strange because the last ime I looked...cows drank WATER!

This happens for two reasons. Firstly, you condition them to think of the colour WHITE. Then you immediately put pressure on them to answer a question without giving them time to think.

Because you have short circuited their brain, they immediately come up with an answer that THINK is correct, but really is associated with the last thing they thought of. Which, of course, is the colour WHITE!

Mark uses more complex versions of this technique to influence certain choices throughout his show.
