I am going to be writing about conversational hypnosis and more specifically how it can be dangerous when it gets into the wrong hands.If you can apply conversational hypnosis properly you can control peoples minds and make them do whatever you want. Derren Brown is a famous hypnotist in the UK. He’s been featured on many national TV programs showing off his skills. One of the most amazing things I’ve seen him do is hypnotize a random person and then make them withdraw ?5000 from the bank for him. They went and did this oblivious to the spell that they were under. They handed him the money no questions asked and then he simply told them that in 10 seconds they had to forget the last 10 minutes of their life. When the person watched the film back they were in disbelieve that it had happened and had no memory of it. This is an extreme example however. There’s no question that Derren Brown is one of the best in the world at doing this. Unfortunately however conversational hypnosis is now being used for criminal activity. In America a man was stealing from the tills of shops and he was doing this by hypnotizing the people working there. As soon as he had them under his spell he would command them to empty the till and then he would walk out quietly with the money. Staff became aware of this scam when the tills didn’t add up at the end of the week and once they had watched the CCTV footage it became obvious what was going on. There are several other reports of professional hypnotists using their skills to steal or con money out of people. Hypnotizing people to steal money is such a perfect crime because there’s no noise or fuss so it is easy to go unnoticed. I personally have been studying conversational hypnosis on a recreational level. It is a lot of fun using and learning it so long as you have good intentions with it and don’t have ambitions of becoming a criminal yourself.
