I'd love to try this (being the manipulatee). Do your mind tricks work over Skype?

Having not tested them, I wouldn't be sure. I tend to do best with people who are either following an easily inferred pattern (office workers, security, etc.) or people who I know personally, which would make it harder to do with someone I don't know. You also are neither "disposable" (someone I'll never deal with again) nor a friend, which adds a bit of social awkwardness.

Given that's an entire paragraph of excuses, I suppose I should offer to try it anyway, if you want :)

Good! How about Sunday evening (CEST)?

CEST = UTC+2, correct? I'm PST (UTC-7), so that'd put you 9 hours ahead of me.

My 10 AM would be your 7 PM - would that work for you? I can do a couple hours later if not.

EDIT: I'm assuming Sunday, May 1st, 2011. If you could send me your Skype name that will probably also make this much easier :)
