This egg is all about focus. I’ll start you out on some basics for this trick and work it up to the full effect. This may be a long egg but its worth it.


Step One: How people remember

There are three different types of memory; Sensory(immediate), Short-term, and Long-Term Memory.

Each type of memory uses three steps to Process information, those steps are; Encoding(receiving, processing and combining of received information), Storage(creation of a permanent record of the encoded information), and Recall(calling back the stored information in response to some cue for use in a process or activity).

In this experiment of the jedi mind trick we’re only going to worry about Sensory and Short-Term memory loss. I have an article on sensory memory that you can read below, A little learning isn’t going to hurt.

Quote:
Sensory memory corresponds approximately to the initial 200 - 500 milliseconds after an item is perceived. The ability to look at an item, and remember what it looked like with just a second of observation, or memorization, is an example of sensory memory. With very short presentations, participants often report that they seem to "see" more than they can actually report. The first experiments exploring this form of sensory memory were conducted by George Sperling (1960) using the "partial report paradigm." Subjects were presented with a grid of 12 letters, arranged into three rows of 4. After a brief presentation, subjects were then played either a high, medium or low tone, cuing them which of the rows to report. Based on these partial report experiments, Sperling was able to show that the capacity of sensory memory was approximately 12 items, but that it degraded very quickly (within a few hundred milliseconds). Because this form of memory degrades so quickly, participants would see the display, but be unable to report all of the items (12 in the "whole report" procedure) before they decayed. This type of memory cannot be prolonged via rehearsal.


So your immediate memory has limits just like everything else, We need to break those limits using some tricks, but before we can do that we need to take a good hard look at ourselves.

Step Two: Blending in

So we understand that when something happens the brain can only take in so much at a time. It can listen to a conversation, watch a boxing match or knit a sweater. The brain only is going to remember what is useful of exciting to it, therfore:

Unless a person is trying to consciously remember you it will not be paying attention to you, your actions or words

So To be a jedi we need to be calm and not too noticeable. I’m only going to teach you how to be forgotten by people who don’t really know you. Being forgotten by your best friend is a lot harder then being forgotten by someone you’ve only met a few times. Here are some guidelines on how to blend in.

[If You go to school try to examine the people know one pays attention to, you’re going to try to dress like these people]

*Be calm in your voice tone
*Use words at a junior high reading level.
*To start out dress in clothing that is dim or dull, just try to be average.
*Try to be outside the persons Clic in the way you dress, A shirt pocket normally does the trick.

When someone judges you they look at how you’re dressed, how you act and how pleasant you seem. If you arent their friend from the get go they arent going to have an interest for you. I would suggest for a week dressing like this, acting the acceptable outcast to understand how to be around the person you’re trying to Jedi. That is the foundation of this trick, blending in. Once you understand how to not be noticed by everyone You can apply your knowledge to greater lengths.

Now no one will notice you in a group of people, sneaky sneaky. But what if they do? Shit you’re busted dressed like a fucking spaz, theres no way out!! Oh wait yeah there is you’re a jedi, Lets make you a lightsaber.

Step Three:Distraction

In my last egg I talked about a few games you can play with people to enhance your skills with the mind. We’re going to take a quick look at two and combine them, making a very good memory weapon. This sounds stupid, but if your mind is taking in information on a constant basis and is distracted while taking in the information then it will be incomplete.

We’re going to mesh a few games together, but we’ve got to do it on a small scale, and keep it hidden.
So this is what you do.

Materials:
String
colored beads of all types
letter beads.

I’m just going to say it now
Your bracelet is meant to raise questions in the persons mind, leave things out of the ordinary, dont put in one color, fuck up the rainbow pattern a little and put things that aren’t beads on it, just make it hideously colorful and way to big for your wrist, mine wraps around my wrist three times.

Yeah we’re making a bracelet, just deal with it.
On your bracelet every bead should be a different color, but you need to lead the eyes around the wrist. So it must follow a pattern or some kind, I like the rainbow pattern because it has a purpose you can disrupt. By disrupting the flow of constant thought the mind asks its self questions, which fills up the 12 things it can remember at once rule.


You are going to hide this on your wrist, wear a long sleeved shirt or something, Flash it when you answer a question in your direction. Use submissive gestures like showing your palms while flashing the bracelet, make sure your shirt can move freely over your wrist.

Now thats just the color. On mine I added my name and A quote from The mighty Boosh. If anyones seen the show, mine says "Sunshine" and "Everything thats good" in a band of orange, with a rainbow color band on the other side, NO ONE KNOWS I WEAR THIS PEICE OF SHIT, IT LOOKS HORRIBLE AND IT IS OBNOXIOUS. But This little piece of shit is an unbelievably useful tool.

Heres a pic of it on my hand, I’ll try to get a new pic in my next egg. This one is small, but I just wanted to prove I actually wear this thing.



Now lets teach you how to use your lightsaber.


Step Four: I wear my lightsaber on my Wrist

Ok so the rules so far are
*Stay calm and collective
*Don’t dress to loud
*Don’t act to crazy
*Don’t show your bracelet.

Heres some troubleshooting. The goal is to resort to showing the bracelet when someone apays attention to you, you need to do this without looking intentional.

If someone acknowledges you wave to them using the hand with the bracelet, they’ll be distracted asking "whos that guy with the gay bracelet" but that will evolve in their short term memory as "Who WAS that guy with the gay bracelet?"

If someone asks you a question, wait until they are done speaking and answer back. During your answer either talk with your hands and flash the bracelet or you could just leave and itch your ass when you walk away. AS LONG AS THE BRACELET IS SEEN IT’S GOING TO MESS WITH THEIR MEMORY.

I’ve even done the Jedi hand wave before it works the same ironically, thats why I like the bracelet.

Oh and in case you want the science here you go.
When you disrupt the encoding step in memory all other steps are disrupted, which means that the other steps Storage and recall can not be preformed.

In other words the mind will process what you have said and expect and answer preparing for storage. In your answer you are distracing the mind from taking in any useful information, What you say doesnt matter, The mind is only going to be picking up on the flash of color that was presented to it, If this contains more then12 peices of information then you are replaced by that information. When recalled in this persons short term memory there will only be the question of the bracelet. But We can fix that. You now Know the Jedi Mind trick. But theres more to this then I can put here. In my next egg I will teach you the power of suggestion with your new bracelet. Theres a lot more here then just beads and string.

Obviously, It only works on people who do not know you.
Its not going to work on your mom or anything like that.
I believe I stated that in the egg.
Nothing is fool proof perfect, but this works very well trust me.

So, dress normally, aside from the uber blatant gay bracelette. Makes perfect sense.
