Conversational Hypnosis Being Used For Crime
Today I am going to be speaking about how conversational hypnosis can be dangerous when it gets into the wrong hands.If you can execute conversational hypnosis correctly you can make people do what ever you want. Derren Brown is a famous hypnotist in the UK. He has appeared on many TV shows demonstrating his skills. On one particular show he picked someone of the street, hypnotized them and then made them empty their bank account 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 calmly robbing many different shops and he was doing this by hypnotizing the cashier. 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 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. What makes it such a perfect crime is the fact that the victims have no memory about it afterwards so it is hard to provide the authorities with evidence. I personally have been learning conversational hypnosis as a hobby. 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.
