Some hypnotic techniques use a 3 repetitions to enter information into the subconcious (you'll also see 3 repeats used in a lot of other techniques)
Anchoring visualisations with a physical action, sound or smell is a strong technique and is a feature of NLP. It's very good for recalling certain situations if visualised well.
