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 renowned hypnotist from the UK. He’s been featured on many national TV programs showing off his skills. On one of the shows he was featured in he hypnotized a random person and then made them take ?5000 out of 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 film was played back to the person in question they couldn’t believe that this had happened and they had no memory of it what so ever. This is an extreme example however. Derren Brown is one of the best in the world at doing what he does. Unfortunatley because of its power, 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. Once they were under his spell he would then ask them to fill up his bag with money and then he would walk away. Staff at the stores only became aware of what was going on when the till didn’t add up at the end of the week so they turned to CCTV which exposed 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 great fun to learn and put into practice but you need to be careful not to let the power go to your head and to make sure you stay on the right side of the law.
