NLP was originally co-founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. While many years ago their partnership split and went different ways, they both still continue to train others in NLP. I’ve trained with Richard Bandler and highly recommend him and his partner John LaValle. His style is much different than Grinder’s as you will hear, see and feel in these videos responses.

Do you like card tricks? Are you good at figuring out card tricks? This NLP Blog is intended primarily for those wanting to expand their NLP skills and particularly in the areas of business management and sales. The most important foundational skill I will refer back to is paying attention (developing sensory acuity).  Why? Because it’s usually the one people take for granted.

Richard Bandler and John Grinder, when they were first modeling people like Virginia Satir, Fritz Perls, and Milton Erickson, were exceptional at looking for the non-obvious. They were able to track patterns, detect what worked and what didn’t work. They were able to decipher often times the most obvious things that other “observers” and “listeners” missed. They were truly “modelers.”

Watch this video -- follow along every second and see if you can figure out this card trick. It’s one of the best Card Tricks I’ve seen and VERY HARD to figure out. Whether you are a fan of card tricks or not, you’ll love this.

How did you do? The phenomenon of change blindless is very interesting. It’s proof we don’t (and can’t) pay attention to everythng -- but we can learn to pay attention to more. That’s the point.
