So You Think You Are Seeing Clearly
December 28th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized
This video was an eye opener to me.
If you haven’t seen it yet, it could very well be an eye opener for you as well.
Watch the video and see my comments below.
Here is the original study this video was based on.
What this study teaches is that very often we do not see what is there in front of us.
How often have you, as a copywriter or a persuader, been asked the question, “Is there a guarantee on this product” when it’s right there in the copy.
You might want to keep this video in mind and wonder if perhaps your copy or your presentation is distracting the reader or client from seeing the moonwalking bear.
Peace.

Very cool – I was watching for aberrations while counting and STILL missed it! Good reminder. Having been an eye-witness in a trial and having sat on a few juries, I know perception is a tricky thing (not to mention memory). This was pretty amazing!

I absolutely love nlp, and I try to do
it as best I can when I write copy for
clients…
I get really good C/R 3-10% so I would
say it’s working…
But I would love to learn more about NLP
naturally…
I saw a great video on paying with paper,
where he inducted them with a series of
questions and commands, it was awesome
how suggestible people are, he got away
with $4,500 worth of jewelry, with blank
paper from his wallet!

I saw the same Deren Brown video.
It isn’t awesome to scam people or to use NLP in this fashion.
Milton Erickson’s ashes would fly off Squaw Peak in protest.
Dave Dobson’s ashes would gather together, come to life, and kick the living stuffing out of someone who would take these skills and manipulate people with them.
What a waste of talent.
For what purpose.

LOL. I was so proud of myself for getting the number of passes correct. Of course I didn’t see the moonwalking bear!
Question: What is NLP used for besides manupulation, even if it’s for good in a theraputic setting? I’m not being contrary, I’d really like to know.

Good work! Thank you very much!
I always wanted to write in my blog something like that. Can I take part of your post to my site?
Of course, I will add backlink?

Wow this was great!
I just found your site but I love it.
I learned about NLP a bit from a mentor of mine in Japan and am just not getting into internet marketing so I’m going to be coming back to this site quite often. THanks.
