[Music]
thank you so much it’s really really
interesting to me that for every single
speaker that you’ve seen today including
me as soon as we walked out of stage
without anyone ever explicitly telling
you to you started applauding and then
it’s also really interesting to me that
every single speaker including me today
walking out on stage after you applauded
said thank you again without anyone
explicitly telling us to it’s almost
like that’s a conditioned response now
conditioned response means that a
certain trigger or certain stimulus in
this case me walking out on stage
elicits a certain cue or a certain
response in you we meet these responses
everywhere in life all the time I think
one of the best examples that I could
think of is when you walk down the
streets and a certain smell comes in –
you know it takes you right back to
childhood did you ever experience that
is that something you know about I think
it is right
it’s a cue response system today I’ll
talk about where we find these cue
response systems how they work and more
importantly how we can make these cue
response systems work for ourselves now
before we get to that I think it might
be interesting and fun to actually do a
quick demonstration concerning cue
response systems so let’s take a quick
look I think we’re gonna have to have
somebody join us up on stage and that
we’re with the puck so fair enough
somebody like in the very very back is
that right who’s that oh he’s too needy
what is fine let’s get him up on stage
give a round of applause it’s gonna be a
long way it’ll be a long way get him up
on stage long long way fantastic
it’ll take a little while until he’s
okay he’s coming from all the way in the
back
at some point during the talk I will be
teaching you how to elicit cue response
systems yourself at will we will get to
that in a moment I will also talk about
how they work and the neurological
processes behind cue response systems so
let’s see if that dude is already
walking out I think he’s coming yes we
have an ice rink in the backstage and as
soon as he comes to give around the
floss fantastic
how are you I’m team on it’s a pleasure
to meet you are you good
fantastic Tony you’re good amazing did
you enjoy the talk so far yes and if you
really inspiring and did you have a good
date way amazing Tony can you do me a
favor and maybe think back to a moment
from last week or the last few days that
made you happy something that made you
feel really good fantastic that is
already good enough it’s good enough for
me now Tony being a marketer come up to
the front being a marketer you already
obviously know about conditioning don’t
you you might I’ll explain it to you I’m
not sure if you realize but every time
since you’ve been on stage and you
smiled or said yes I touched your arm
that you notice this
yeah it’s ranged isn’t it put your hand
out Tony put your hand out just realize
what happens in your minds that your
mind go blank when we go back up there
and you memory might be linked to the
spot in your minds it’s realized what
happens when we go up your arm and we
touch that arm can you feel that
happiness coming back in you does it
feel good it’s a conditioned response
it’s a neurological response the cool
thing Tony is that you can do this
yourself as well would you like me to
show you extend your hands perfect move
your own hand up there go ahead and move
it slowly up there and just realized it
when you touch that arm it comes right
back to you doesn’t it
just touch that arm how does that feel
it feels weird but good enough yeah I
think that’s good enough
give me a round of applause get you
seated thank you Tony fantastic I think
that was good for a quick demonstration
thank you Tony now I’m seeing some of
you thinking what the heck did we just
see what just happens what we just did
was a very very quick and very brief
demonstration of conditioned response in
action the first time I got into
investigating Commission response was
when I was 12 years old and I saw
Hypno’s to show being played at a
holiday park and to me seeing that
hypnosis show was the most magical thing
I had ever seen and it was the moment
that I decide
that I wanted to become a hypnotist or
Mentalist or a magician I went on that
path I went to write some people to
learn about hypnosis or mentalism or
mind-reading and everybody thought that
at 12 years old I was too young to do
that so I did what any twelve-year-old
would do I started teaching myself and I
copied exactly what I saw on stage and
took it from there I think there was
more luck involved than actual skill but
I made it through at 16 years old I went
to New Zealand I found a mentor he
helped me write my very first book on
hypnosis which got me in touch with
people all around the world I then got
to be awarded the title of best European
Mentalist last year and finally got to
fulfil my dream to play in Las Vegas for
the very first time last year as well
and I was amazing was really cool now
I’m not gonna talk to you about the
drive for the inspiration or the love
that I have for that and it is a love
it’s in fact so much of a life that I
have my logo which stands for the love
for magic tattooed onto my wrist because
it’s the one thing I love most in life
because I think there’s people that will
talk about inspiration way better than I
but I will talk to you about one tool
that I have used that has done me well
over the last 11 years time and time
again which is anchoring or conditioned
response I think the best definition I
think if you have anchoring or
conditioned response would be an anchor
refers to any specific hue that elicits
a predictable response a predictable
response means that it repeats itself
now if it were to ask some of you if you
feel like having a coffee right now some
of you might say yes some of you might
say no 10 minutes from now this might be
different it’s not a predictable
response it’s not conditioned but a
person that’s maybe hugely afraid of
spiders as soon as they sees the cue the
stimulus of a spider
they’re pretty response will predictably
be fear that’s what it means for it to
be a predictable or a conditioned
response when I first encountered this
concept I thought great it’s good for me
to know that there’s specific cues that
trigger specific responses but what good
does it if I can’t control those cues I
will let you in on two secrets about
conditioning the first one is that if
you know
the correct trigger you can elicit any
response in yourself or others that you
wish and some of you already know this
I’m sure there must be people in the
audience right now maybe wearing a
special piece of clothing that makes you
feel sexy and it makes you therefore
feel confidence or maybe some of you put
on a piece of jewelry that you consider
to be a lucky charm I put on my lucky
socks they’ve pucks on them because I
love pucks and they make me feel really
happy and all these things really are
are certain cues that trigger a specific
response in you doesn’t make sense so
you already know that you can trigger
these responses the second secret and
this is where it gets really cool is
that you can set up create new trigger
response systems at will again are you
thinking that’s great but how do we do
that now before we get into the how that
works let’s talk real quickly about why
that works and it works due to to mental
slides if you want two slides of minds
that your brain is capable of doing the
first one of which being pattern
recognition pattern recognition will get
to the Damone pattern recognition means
that your brain is able to learn from
past experiences and then to apply this
learn behavior to new similar situations
basically what this means is that
pattern recognition helps us not make
the same mistakes twice
there’s a reason for this it’s an
evolutionary reason when you think about
maybe your caveman ancestors running
into a ferocious cat and they’re barely
escaping with the lives it would now be
good for the brain to make the leap that
when next time they enter a similar
situation they meet a similar cats they
don’t want to go cuddle it but they
apply the learned knowledge and realize
that it’s not a good idea to go near
that’s what pattern recognition is it’s
also how anchoring or conditioning works
in anchoring and conditioning we enter a
situation we get a specific Q and this Q
will elicit a specific response q could
be anything me saying something it could
be a smell it could be a jewelry you put
on the list the response and depending
on if that situation plays out well for
you positive effect next time round you
get a strengthened positive response to
the same or a similar view or if it
plays out negatively next time you get a
reduced or
weakened negative response to the clue
effectively driving you away from
similar situations doesn’t make sense
I think it does yes it’s also the reason
that at some point only imagining an
anchor is enough and we’ll get to that
the second slide of mind that our brain
is capable of doing is called action
energy it’s research and I think that’s
one of the most fascinating pieces of
research ever done by dr. David Hamilton
dr. David Hamilton had a group of people
over the course of several weeks
practice a very simple piano song once
he was sure that these people had really
hammered that song in there he took them
into his laboratory and he took a brain
scan while these people were playing
their simple set of nuts that’s a boring
part fascinating part happened right
after because he took another brain scan
this time however asking the people to
only imagine that they were playing the
same thing the really cool thing is that
if you held up both brain scans next to
each other just from looking at them
there was no way to distinguish which
brain scan was taken when they actually
played the song and which brain scan was
taken when the male imagined playing the
song what this tells us is that now our
brain there’s no essential difference
between having an actual experience or
vividly imagining it and that’s exactly
what will enable us to create anchors
for ourselves let’s get to that again
how do we do that there’s a simple plan
I devised for you a five-step anchoring
plan to doing this yourself the first
step that we will always want to take
when we set up a new Q response system
for ourselves is to decide on the
stimulus and the state the state could
be the emotion that you want to anchor
maybe happiness or confidence or focus
or concentration for the sake of
demonstration we will do this together
in a moment let’s say that the cue the
trigger that we will use is going to be
this placing your pump and your
forefinger together like this do it with
me place your thumb and forefinger
together fantastic like you did it
before amazing technique love it very
well done this the response to this
state are the response to this trigger
will be I think happiness is a good one
that’s generally accepted to be
a good state of mind to be in isn’t it I
think that will be good happiness will
be the response the next step you will
want to take is to vividly imagine this
state and the simplest way I found of
doing that is to found two or three
better three memories where that’s where
that state is prominent we just did that
when we had our volunteer on stage with
one single memory two or three memories
are going to be better so if you’re not
already thinking about it please start
finding two or three memories where you
felt happy that could be really
prominent that could be fresh that could
be spectacular or it could be something
as simple as that you really liked your
sandwich this morning it could be
something very straightforward but
wherever the emotion of happiness is
prominent that’s gonna be good for this
step number three is going to be to step
inside this daydream this is where
you’re going to utilize your brain’s
ability to imitate a real experience
I’ll walk you through the script in a
moment once you’re there and once by
stepping inside your daydream you pump
that emotion up to as height as high as
you possibly can in that very moments
you will apply your stimulus essentially
training yourself to respond to this
stimulus with the state that you want to
respond that way all that’s left
afterwards us to test use and enjoy your
anchor will do the together so if you’re
ready if you found two or three memories
to do this with let’s go close your eyes
for me I’m not gonna punch you just
close your eyes for a moan trust me on
this okay fantastic take your first
memory and this could be the stronger
memory or it could be the first one that
comes up in your mind and when you have
that then focus on the visual aspect of
that memory what do you see
where are you who’s with you and try and
go into the details a little bit in your
mind and from there shift your focus to
the auditive aspect of that memory
listen to what you heard words
environmental sounds your own heartbeat
breathing and from there shifted again
to what you smell the might have been
good smells or bad smells prominent
smells subtle smells and when you’re
already added go to what you could taste
and maybe there was no specific taste in
your mind right now and if that’s the
case then be aware of that as well and
from there one more time shift your
focus
which you could feel just the physical
feeling position of your body exhaustion
energy touch temperature clothing any of
those things will do and from their
shift your focus to what you could feel
inside that emotion notice where in your
body it starts and allow it to grow
stronger with every breath you take give
it a color if you can and make the color
brighter make it move through your body
quicker and quicker allow it to grow
into your hands your fingers your legs
into your toes up into the tips of your
hairs into your face if you want to
smile you can smile it’s absolutely fine
and in a moment I’m going to count from
three to zero and each number that I
counted like you to let that emotion
grow stronger and stronger as strongly
as you possibly can and once we are at
zero do your anchor movement thumbs and
forefingers for three seconds then
release and keep your eyes closed we
will do one more memory afterwards there
will be three allow that memory to go
stronger and stronger allowed to curse
through your body leavitt smile to
spread onto your face there will be two
making it grow warmer and warmer heart
and heart throughout your body that’ll
be one get ready to press and zerah
press your anchor together for three
seconds two one release close your eyes
and let go fantastic you’re doing
amazingly well I can see so many of you
smiling right now it looks really good
we’ll go to the second memory we’ll go
through this one a little more quickly
because you already know what’s about to
happen
second memory take a look at the visual
aspect of your memory what did you see
where are you day or night
details people around your location then
go to what you heard may be words being
spoken heartbeat breathing and what you
smells good smells bad smells subtle
smells intrusive smells and from there
once again shift to what you could taste
and if there’s no specific taste and be
aware of that as well and once you’ve
done all those things and you
reconstructed your memory bit by bit
once you’ve done all those things go to
what you felt in your body just a
physical feeling physical sensation of
temperature movement position and once
you’ve got that once again notice where
in your body that emotion of happiness
is located notice where it starts and
allowed to grow stronger with each
moment that you’re listening to me
with each breath that you take and
allowing it to curse through your body
more and more get ready in a moment I’m
again going to count from 3 to 0 and
again with each number that you hear me
count aloud that emotion to grow higher
and higher once we arrive at 0 press
your thumbs and your forefinger together
once more to condition yourself to that
stimulus and that response that’ll be 3
allow that memory to grow stronger and
stronger through your body into every
aspect of your body and being that’ll be
to allowed to grow more and more and 1
and 0 put your hands together fantastic
that’s looking good 3 2 1 and release
and let go and you open your eyes and
shake it off fantastic it was already
worth it to me to just do this for
seeing so many of you smile really cool
very well done we’re missing one last
step and by the way if you want to do
this at home for any other emotion than
happiness focus or concentration on the
TAT X website or TEDx free slant website
we have provided this very script for
you to use and enjoy you can do this
with other people you can do this with
yourself you can set more than one
single anchor the last thing we need to
do is to test and use the anchor so
let’s do a quick test for the anchor
maybe all of you let your minds go blank
and give yourself a scaling from 1 to 10
as where you would hurry rate your
happiness right now maybe one means I’m
just about to leave and 10 means I’m
really really very happy let your mind
go blank it might be 3 or 4 might be
somewhere in the neutral I’m I’m happy
everyday kind of vibe so give yourselves
rating for that how happy I right now
and then in a moment we’re going to use
the anchor together from 3 to 0 in a
moment we’ll use this together and at 0
you will press your anchor together
you’ll do this for 10 seconds and you
will do your very best to bring that
emotion of happiness up again and we
will test it against where you are right
now so if you have a rating in mind
close your eyes get ready to do your
anchor this is the test I will count
from 3 to 0 on the kind of zero put your
anchor together you get 10 seconds to
bring that emotion up as highly as you
can that’ll be 3 2 1 press your anchor
together and 10 seconds 9 allow that
emotion to growl growl growl growl 7 6 5
allowed to grow more and more throughout
your body 4 3 2 1 let
release fantastically done the more
often you do this the stronger it will
actually get and just test yourself
against that check again on a scale from
one to ten how happy are you and if you
are after doing your hanker even only
one or two or three points happier raise
your hand for me I want to see this who
feels happier and that’s quite a lot of
you and that’s for you is how you create
an emotion or happiness literally at the
push of a button thank you very much
glad to be with you thank you
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you so much it’s really really
interesting to me that for every single
speaker that you’ve seen today including
me as soon as we walked out of stage
without anyone ever explicitly telling
you to you started applauding and then
it’s also really interesting to me that
every single speaker including me today
walking out on stage after you applauded
said thank you again without anyone
explicitly telling us to it’s almost

conditioned response means that a

this case me walking out on stage
elicits a certain cue or a certain

to meet you are you good
fantastic Tony you’re good amazing did
you enjoy the talk so far yes and if you
really inspiring and did you have a good
date way amazing Tony can you do me a
favor and maybe think back to a moment
from last week or the last few days that
made you happy something that made you
feel really good fantastic that is
already good enough it’s good enough for
me now Tony being a marketer come up to
the front being a marketer you already
obviously know about conditioning don’t
you you might I’ll explain it to you I’m
not sure if you realize but every time
since you’ve been on stage and you
smiled or said yes I touched your arm
that you notice this
yeah it’s ranged isn’t it put your hand
out Tony put your hand out just realize
what happens in your minds that your
mind go blank when we go back up there
and you memory might be linked to the

happens when we go up your arm and we

happiness coming back in you does it
feel good it’s a conditioned response
it’s a neurological response the cool
thing Tony is that you can do this
yourself as well would you like me to
show you extend your hands perfect move
your own hand up there go ahead and move
it slowly up there and just realized it
when you touch that arm it comes right
back to you doesn’t it
just touch that arm how does that feel
it feels weird but good enough yeah I
think that’s good enough
give me a round of applause get you
seated thank you Tony fantastic I think
that was good for a quick demonstration

that’s generally accepted to be

comes up in your mind and when you have
that then focus on the visual aspect of
that memory what do you see
where are you who’s with you and try and
go into the details a little bit in your
mind and from there shift your focus to
the auditive aspect of that memory
listen to what you heard words
environmental sounds your own heartbeat
breathing and from there shifted again
to what you smell the might have been
good smells or bad smells prominent
smells subtle smells and when you’re
already added go to what you could taste
and maybe there was no specific taste in
your mind right now and if that’s the
case then be aware of that as well and
from there one more time shift your
focus
which you could feel just the physical
feeling position of your body exhaustion
energy touch temperature clothing any of
those things will do and from their
shift your focus to what you could feel
inside that emotion notice where in your
body it starts and allow it to grow
stronger with every breath you take give
it a color if you can and make the color
brighter make it move through your body
quicker and quicker allow it to grow
into your hands your fingers your legs
into your toes up into the tips of your
hairs into your face if you want to
smile you can smile it’s absolutely fine
and in a moment I’m going to count from
three to zero and each number that I
counted like you to let that emotion
grow stronger and stronger as strongly
as you possibly can and once we are at
zero do your anchor movement thumbs and
forefingers for three seconds then
release and keep your eyes closed we
will do one more memory afterwards there
will be three allow that memory to go
stronger and stronger allowed to curse
through your body leavitt smile to
spread onto your face there will be two
making it grow warmer and warmer heart
and heart throughout your body that’ll
be one get ready to press and zerah
press your anchor together for three
seconds two one release close your eyes
and let go fantastic you’re doing
amazingly well I can see so many of you
smiling right now it looks really good
we’ll go to the second memory we’ll go
through this one a little more quickly
because you already know what’s about to
happen
second memory take a look at the visual
aspect of your memory what did you see
where are you day or night
details people around your location then
go to what you heard may be words being
spoken heartbeat breathing and what you
smells good smells bad smells subtle
smells intrusive smells and from there
once again shift to what you could taste
and if there’s no specific taste and be
aware of that as well and once you’ve
done all those things and you
reconstructed your memory bit by bit
once you’ve done all those things go to
what you felt in your body just a
physical feeling physical sensation of
temperature movement position and once
you’ve got that once again notice where
in your body that emotion of happiness
is located notice where it starts and
allowed to grow stronger with each
moment that you’re listening to me
with each breath that you take and
allowing it to curse through your body
more and more get ready in a moment I’m
again going to count from 3 to 0 and
again with each number that you hear me
count aloud that emotion to grow higher
and higher once we arrive at 0 press
your thumbs and your forefinger together
once more to condition yourself to that
stimulus and that response that’ll be 3
allow that memory to grow stronger and
stronger through your body into every
aspect of your body and being that’ll be
to allowed to grow more and more and 1
and 0 put your hands together fantastic
that’s looking good 3 2 1 and release
and let go and you open your eyes and
shake it off fantastic it was already
worth it to me to just do this for
seeing so many of you smile really cool
very well done we’re missing one last
step and by the way if you want to do
this at home for any other emotion than
happiness focus or concentration on the
TAT X website or TEDx free slant website
we have provided this very script for
you to use and enjoy you can do this
with other people you can do this with
yourself you can set more than one
single anchor the last thing we need to
do is to test and use the anchor so
let’s do a quick test for the anchor
maybe all of you let your minds go blank
and give yourself a scaling from 1 to 10
as where you would hurry rate your
happiness right now maybe one means I’m
just about to leave and 10 means I’m
really really very happy let your mind
go blank it might be 3 or 4 might be
somewhere in the neutral I’m I’m happy
everyday kind of vibe so give yourselves
rating for that how happy I right now
and then in a moment we’re going to use
the anchor together from 3 to 0 in a
moment we’ll use this together and at 0
you will press your anchor together
you’ll do this for 10 seconds and you
will do your very best to bring that
emotion of happiness up again and we
will test it against where you are right
now so if you have a rating in mind
close your eyes get ready to do your
anchor this is the test I will count
from 3 to 0 on the kind of zero put your
anchor together you get 10 seconds to
bring that emotion up as highly as you
can that’ll be 3 2 1 press your anchor
together and 10 seconds 9 allow that
emotion to growl growl growl growl 7 6 5
allowed to grow more and more throughout
your body 4 3 2 1 let
release fantastically done the more
often you do this the stronger it will
actually get and just test yourself
against that check again on a scale from
one to ten how happy are you and if you
are after doing your hanker even only
one or two or three points happier raise
your hand for me I want to see this who
feels happier and that’s quite a lot of
you and that’s for you is how you create
an emotion or happiness literally at the
push of a button thank you very much
glad to be with you thank you
