My favorite "trick" if you will is catching someone looking at me, and as I'm no oil painting, it usually freaks people out. I remember once being at a taiji seminar and there was a coffee break and everyone was standing around - maybe about 50 or so people in a church hall. So I'm standing talking to this girl when I get the feeling that I'm being looked at, so I have to think a bit while I'm talking to work out where it's coming from - kinda like locking on to the "beam". Then just like in the Crocodile Dundee film I casually look up to my right and past about 10 people straight to this guy who happens to be the organizer of the event (the girl I'm talking to is still talking) and as I look straight at him his jaw falls open. I thought it was hilarious coz I know he was thinking that it must be something to do with chee, etc. I just casually returned to my conversation and the girl I was talking to was none the wiser. It was all over in about 5 seconds. The thing is I have no idea how it works. It's not anything to do with training, or if it is it's a secondary effect. Although what Meeks is talking about is something I have a radar for as well I would put that down to training, but again I would not have a clue how that works.

i'd like to think that it was increased awareness due to my training...
