The object of the tactic is place your people around the perimeter of the audience so that, when they begin to take action, those in the center will have to do a lot of head turning to see them – to the right, then the left, then the rear of the room, then the front, etc. The more they turn their heads, the greater the illusion of being surrounded by people in agreement with each other, and the more they will be convinced that these people represent the majority opinion.

Its called "engineered consent". It was Pioneered by Edward Bernays.

"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it? The recent practice of propaganda has proved that it is possible, at least up to a certain point and within certain limits."

-Bernays.

I’ll keep looking.

Here’s this:

“Alinsky viewed as supremely important the role of the organizer, or master manipulator, whose guidance was responsible for setting the agendas of the People’s Organization. “The organizer,” Alinsky wrote, “is in a true sense reaching for the highest level for which man can reach — to create, to be a ‘great creator,’ to play God.”[39]”

“Five Steps to Bring America Down” (Beck video)

Soros’ 5 steps in print (according to Beck)
http://www.examiner.com/american-politics-in-vancouver/the-five-steps-of-george-soros-control-of-the-us-according-to-glenn-beck

Lastly, here’s this, CC:

“SOROS: I really became engaged in domestic politics in 2004, because I felt that single most important thing I could do to make the world a better place is to help get President Bush out of the White House.

BECK: Country after country after country, we found that there are five steps to him gaining control. He does it over and over and over again.

So, let’s see what the steps are and let’s see if he’s done any of them here.

The first one is form a shadow government using a humanitarian aide as cover. This is what he just said. It’s kind of funny — it’s kind of fun. The first step he said is subversive activities. OK?

Step two: control the airwaves. Fund existing radio and TV outlets and take control over them or start your own outlet. Remember, take control of existing or start your own.

Step three: destabilize the state, weaken the government and build an anti-government kind of feeling in the country. You exploit an economic crisis or take advantage of existing crisis — pressure from the top and the bottom. This will allow you to weaken the government and build anti- government public sentiment.

Step four: you provoke an election crisis. You wait for an election. And during the election, you cry voter fraud.

Step five: take power. You stage massive demonstrations, civil disobedience, sit-ins, general strike, you encourage activism. You promote voter fraud and tell followers what to do through your radio and television stations.

We’ll start at the beginning, shall we? Do any of those sound familiar? This is the way George Soros takes a country down every time — every time.”
