I thought the subliminal advertising bit he did (farther down on the right 
of that page) was brilliant.  Of course, it's possible it's all 100% staged, 
but I don't think *all* of NLP is bogus.  It's pretty easy to read someone 
to tell if they're lying or not, for example, when you get good at it. 
There's a reason professional poker players wear hats and sunglasses.

So it only works if you notice the person is doing mirroring?
