Full Definition:
In the Mind of Mystery in-field videos, Mystery explains why he avoids sets that can be interrupted by friends, hired guns, or other factors within the first 3 minutes. This time limit may make you lose social value as the set is forced to pay attention to an interrupt (friend, waitress, medical emergency). Also, in the event of an interrupt, you want to have enough time to naturally lock-in and have a chance to control the set.
