This Technique does work, i had two successful OBEs earlier this afternoon.
My experience:
Fell asleep, woke up began to feel cell phone, after a short while it was as if there was a spark between my two fingers and the wave of energy swept throughout my body, i then made an attempt to leave. I could see my room and my energy body was free from the physical with the exception of my head, it was detached but not completely able to gain any distance from it. I then returned and made a second attempt where the same thing happened, a spark sensation and energy wave swept over, left and unfortunately same problem occured as mentioned above. I then decided to stop and attempt again at another time.
