I don't think he would risk using stooges. He makes a real point about it every time he has a show, 20-30 people are a lot of people to know they were in on the trick and keep quiet. The Sun/Star/Mirror would love it, it would be splashed all over the papers and he'd be ridiculed. Anything he ever did again would be seen as staged. He's a clever chap, knows a lot about the human mind/thought patterns/human behavior/sub conscious so I don't think he'd risk stooges.
- He's got you hook line and sinker then. If I'm not mistaken, it was he who explained the foolishness of using stooges.Horp

I agree with Jimbo, I very much doubt he uses stooges, I think your pre-programmed to react cynically to that. We do what he does every day of our lives, he's just devoted his adult life to amplifying it. Add in some genuine 'magic of tele' stuff, some slight of hand (the box was definitely switched when he fell over), and some very suggestible, pre-screened people and you've got his act.

for example, try taking an IAT test. The race one. 80% of you have no idea what's going on behind the curtain folks, its just human nature.
- What's this test you speak of?Jimbo82

It's the easy answer to say he uses stooges, gets you away from thinking about how he does it, which hurts.

Did you see the show he did about Beating the bookie? Where he got one woman to put life savings on a Horse race. It seemed truly amazing, but then he explained how he did it. So easy!
- you've tried it then?max_prophet

"Possibly my penchant for interior decor had given the game away."
I'd say, 100% on QBN have that penchant. Let's not draw conclusions from that.

NLP is quite dangerous and Derren Brown does a fine job showing us some of the technics and anchors they use on us.
if you dont believe it, just do a quick search about obama's speeches and NLP,
I never believe, they would use is on such a large scale, like the ptsd the entire earth suffered after 9/11
