>So has anyone observed personally OT abilities? If so what exactly?

The best OT abilities for you to observe are your own.

For example, not that long after I got into Scn, I was out one night for
a (relatively) quiet drink with friends.  I arrived early and ordered a
drink.  The pub was empty apart from one guy sitting at the bar.  He was
reading a newspaper and took no notice of me whatsoever.

I was musing (chewing!) over the statement in 8-80 that creating a perfect
duplicate of something would cause it to vanish.  I decided to make a perfect
duplicate of the guy sitting at the bar.  He was gone.  Like really gone
- I could see the wall etc behind where he has been sitting quite clearly.
 I nearly spluttered in my beer (I hadn't really expected it to happen -
I simply didn't put any attention on the negative and just made this very
light decision - always the sort which are guaranteed to work).  Anyhow,
I decided this was an overt and I should put him back. He re-appeared.
Something must have happened in the other guy's space because, having completely
ignored me up to this point, he looked up from his newspaper and gave me
the most quizzical look I've ever seen on anyone's face!

Now - back to the best OT abilities to observe are your own.  Do you believe
my story?  Well, possibly.  We are all taught not to evaluate or invalidate
after all.  But do you really believe me?  Are you convinced?  Probably
not.

But what if the same thing had happened to you!  Different story then isn't
it.  You wouldn't need convincing - you'd know.
