I am sitting upright but relaxed on the edge of the couch, feet and knees almost together, with my hands by my side hanging loosely over the edge of the couch. Riff tells me that he can stop me from counting from one to ten if he wanted to, in fact I will only get as far as five. I dispute this but give it a go anyway, and as I get half-way through saying the word five, he tells me to freeze. I am are frozen solid staring blankly straight ahead with lips slightly apart. Riff teases me with a wave of his hand and starts to pose my arms and hands. Lifting my left hand slightly from the couch, it just hangs loosely frozen in position when he lets go. The right hand he lifts loosely and slowly straight out to below chest high and turns it over palm facing upwards with fingers separated and slightly bent, and again it stays in position. He asks me what has just happened to me, and I reply very slowly that I am "deeply ". Many great close-ups of my body, face and mannequin type hands, with Riff commenting on the situation. He then tells me to stand up, and I get up very slowly with my arms and hands still in the same frozen position. Further, views of my body, face and shoes.

I am still standing frozen in the same position, Riff tells me to snap out of it on the count of three. I wake up, feeling a bit confused, and talk about not remembering too much. Riff does a number of quick freezes on me, each lasting about a minute. Each time I pick up where I left off and carry on as though nothing has happened. Expression-wise I am, still more blank than animated, but in different hand poses. Riff poses me slightly when I am frozen, and asks questions as to why I am not moving? I reply with "I am to freeze" and " I am frozen solid". He snaps me out of it and gives me the command "mannequin". Which I freeze in a extra special and classic mannequin pose with long close-ups of my face, hands and body. Riff asks me one final time what has happened to me and I reply very slowly " I am your mannequin master".">
