Let me open by saying I am a skeptic to the world of magic, supernatural events and hypnotism or the powers of suggestion.
I went to bar with a date one night. Didn't go for the show but there happened to be a hypnotist appearing that evening, great distraction from normal sitting around and trying to think of interesting things to chat about.
So as with most hypnotist shows, they ask for volunteers and I put up the hand of my date who is a shy little girl that I hardly knew. She was a good sport and stepped up like a real trooper, something I would never do. My hats off to her.
So the guy goes into the routine which took very little effort and in a matter of minutes had these 6 or 7 people on stage doing some very funny things that no one in their right mind would normally do. The one thing that really got me was the following.
He instructed this date of mine that she had a tiny pink elephant (her pet) which was about the size of a Yorkie Terrior. She brought it to the bar with her and the little thing got away and her mission was to search for it. So then he releases all the people from the stage telling them they would have to return in 20 minutes and that they could not leave the premises while each performed their specific tasks.
So we're all laughing hysterically and these people had straight faces like life was normal. She comes back to sit at the table with me and takes a sip of her drink while asking me why I was laughing so hard. We continued with idle conversation all the while I'm struggling to keep a straight face while she's distracted looking around under the table and into the corners of the bar. I asked her what she was looking for and she told me her little pink elephant. Then she got up and started walking around the bar looking under peoples tables. I followed asking her what she was looking for and she so seriously kept asking me if I saw her small pink elephant.
Now this was not joke folks, this girl was as serious as a heart attack about owning a tiny pink elephant and even went into the bathroom looking for it. After the 20 minutes they all went back up on stage and he released them from their trance.
Now here's the funny thing. She returns to the table all embarrassed and shy about her actions. She remembered EVERYTHING about what she did and said. She was totally conscientiousness about what she was doing after the fact.
How does this happen, how can someone actually plant these powerful thoughts in your head and make you do things. I don't want to sound sick about it, but if used for the wrong reasons, you could get someone to rob a bank for you and make them forget who you are or perform depraved acts.
Can anyone learn to do this. . . I want to learn this, how does a person actually obtain the power of hypnotism.
