Another post I am working on is a post about how to NOT use covert hypnosis, you will see it in the next couple days.

I got the inspiration for that while reading a post about a blogger who crashed and burned trying to use covert hypnosis via binder commands, state elicitation, embedded commands, and descriptive language to pick up a woman at a night club. Here is a snippet of their conversation:

Me: “Isn’t it funny how music can sometimes evoke those warm and pleasant feelings inside you that just make you happy to be here… with me, that’s how it works, how about you?”
Her: “What?”
Me: (louder): “Khm… Isn’t it funny how music can sometimes evoke those warm and pleasant feelings inside you that just make you happy to be here… with me, that’s how it works, how about you?”
Her: (a bit confused and after a short silence): “Yeah, it really depends on what drugs you’re on, dude.” She laughed and left to find her friends.

Obviously that did not go so well, but I give him credit for trying. Read the whole article Covert Hypnosis Dynamics Examples if you wanna know the story and read the comment I left to helping him with a different approach to the same strategy.

In my upcoming post about how to not use covert hypnosis I’ll expand on the comment, and show some ways how to make this type of persuasion more smooth and effective, so that it is natural and compelling rather than eerie and creepy.
