Is "The Art Of Covert Hypnosis" Dangerous In The Wrong Hands? - By: Nathan Thomas

The covert hypnosis community has lately been buzzing with excitement about a new training program controversially released by renegade hypnotist Steven Perliari.

What makes this course unique is that you get to discover more 'dark side' areas of influence and persuasion that most other "Politically Correct" training programs avoid. You learn how mentalists, fake psychics, charletans and psychological illusionists like Derren Brown do their thing, and how you can easily replicate their tricks, and use them to influence, persuade and hypnotize others.

It may sound a little weird - doing a fake psychic reading in order to hypnotize or persuade somebody - but it's actually quite simple, and even ticks all the boxes of a traditional persuasion set up. A technique like cold reading - where you pretend to psychically read someone's mind and tell them things about themselves that, supposedly, you could never have known (it's actually just a simple trick of language - and Steven shows you exactly how it's done), essentially works in 3 main ways...

1: You overload or "wow" their conscious resistance offline, rendering them super responsive to the suggestions you give,

2: You gain a massive amount of rapport by feeding back to someone what they perceive to be their most personal secrets, making them trust you very deeply and very quickly. This also acts as a very powerful form of pacing and leading, conditioning people to listen to, believe and respond to what you tell them.

3: By demonstrating such mental insight you are giving yourself massive social proof. Whether you use cold reading or another mentalist style trick (you will learn several) the prestige and awe this gives you elevates your social status, and causes you to be perceived as an authority figure, making people highly likely to listen to you, and respond to what you tell them.

Ok, so now we know vaguely how these techniques work, let's quickly address the key question of this article - are they dangerous, and should you be learning them?

My answer is no and yes (in that order). Whilst (sadly) it's true that some people do arrive in the covert hypnosis field with an unhealthy mindset - which a lot of the marketing admittedly encourages - I have found in my own experience that the more you learn, the more positive your intentions become. As you learn more about how yours and other people's mind works, and how to get your own way in life, the insecurities and self doubt that may have held you back in the past tend to fall away, and make you truly want to use your abilities only to help others.

As a matter of practicality, you also benefit a lot more simply by helping others with your persuasive powers. Break people down and take advantage of them, and it will (without a doubt) get back to you. Build people off and it will pay for itself in droves.

My final word on this is a quick matter of philosophy. Covert hypnosis is a tool, and like any tool it's down to the user (you) to decide what you do with it. A knife in the hands of a carpenter, surgeon or master chef can be a thing of beauty, but in the hands of a murderer it's a tool of destruction. Covert hypnosis is a powerful tool, and it's up to you to use it for the best possible reasons.
