This article is going to be about conversational hypnosis and how it can be dangerous when the wrong people use it.With the correct execution conversational hypnosis can enable you to control people. Derren Brown is a renowned hypnotist from the UK. He is regularly featured on national TV demonstrating 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. The person in question went ahead and got the money totally oblivious to the fact that they had been hypnotized. At the click of his fingers he then put the person to sleep and told them in 10 seconds time they will wake up and forget the last few moments of their life. When the person who had been hypnotized watched the film they were in total shock and had no memory of the event. This is an extreme example however. Derren Brown is one of the best in the world at doing what he does. Unfortunately however 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. Once he had successfully hypnotized them he would ask them to fill up his bag with the money and then he would calmly walk out. The only reason staff became aware of this scam was because the tills never added up properly at the end of the week and CCTV footage exposed to them what was going on. There are many other stories of hypnotists using their skills to steal money or to scam people out of money. 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 myself have been looking into conversational hypnosis and what you can achieve with it. 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.
