Website design By BotEap.comThe real limits of NLP are only known to people who have really studied it extensively, like me. Limited is the keyword as people claim to use NLP for just about everything, but we people in the know understand what it can and can’t do, don’t we?

Website design By BotEap.comThat doesn’t stop us from saying we’re using NLP when we’re not, but sometimes it’s nice to use some real NLP skills to get our mind reading and mentalism done.

Website design By BotEap.comShow a spectator 5 playing cards, 4 of which are black number cards and one card is the queen of hearts. There are 2 versions of the trick that you can use depending on who you do it with. You tell one type of person that when they see the queen of hearts they should think about SEX. You simply tell other people to think MONEY.

Website design By BotEap.comWhat you do is show them the queen of hearts first, tell them to think about sex / money. Get them to really think about it while looking at the queen of hearts. What this does is anchor the queen of hearts to that emotion. I’ll explain why in a moment.

Website design By BotEap.comWhat you do is shuffle the cards face down and one after another show them each card and tell them to think about sex / money when they see the queen of hearts. When you show them each card, make sure you can’t see the cards you show, but you should be able to see their eyes.
