I saw that and it was very easy to see how he chose the person, he even made it fairly obvious which chamber in the gun he wanted the guy to put it in (I think it was 5). In fact it was so obvious which chamber he wanted it in I thought he may as well just say it out loud.

He did another show where he drew an image and someone in another room had to draw something while listening to him talking, and they both got roughly the same shape (like a circle with a cross drawn through it).

He even went to the dog track and got the cashiers paying out in full on losing tickets!

So I get how he does the suggestion thing and, whilst it's clever, I can see how it works.

However, being blindfolded and telling someone exact details from their life, never mind what they're thinking, with a 100% success rate and all they've said is "Hello"......that's really got me.

My thoughts exactly. NLP, etc., he seems to be very well adept to.
Take the psychic / medium aspect.
Although DB insists mediums are fakes - unless one is born conversing with the other side OR higher vibration, energy/universal mind or intelligence, etc (call it what you will ) , most people develop this talent via symbols.

So this is firstly a visual thing (3rd eye of course).
If you could take any aspects of spiritualism/occult etc around the world - the 3rd eye is almost everywhere isn't it. Even on dollar bills.

DB often uses the NLP/hypnosos imagery techniques with people. Mediumship/psychic ability is much the same.

So whether he learned to deliberately or not I think he can flash up imagery in the mind; and therefore is (perhaps unintentionally) performing mediumship, NLP, etc.

The transfer of said imagery into a feeling/understanding-type message is down to the individual. It is what is developed.

In my opinion
