Covert and conversational hypnosis coming

2008 saw me do something I thought I never would, buy a lot of other peoples stuff.

A lot of future and former students have been asking when I will do my own version of a conversational-indirect-covert-secret-persuasion-manipulative Hypnosis course-audio-online-download course. So before I do, and I am going to, I thought I'd look at some of the leaders out there and discover the difference between them and what I'll be doing. Remember my speciality isn't invention, it is simplification and happily communicating that in an easy to recall fashion.

So here for the those of you who think my opinion is valid, is an appraisal from my own perspective on some of the stuff I've been looking at.

You know a lot of people knock the Taylor Starr stuff but there are some valid approaches in there - the black mirror and string pulling work very well but then again they always have. Igor Ledochowski's stuff has one or two as well although for me personally I find the long winded and unnecessarily complex beginning something of a waste of time, the statement that it only works for the benefit of the victim naive and the language archaic. The final section of the audio course, although not really worth the fee, is the bit you need and then around 50% of it.

Ross Jefferies stuff is one of the best manipulation approaches out there although even that is a little drawn out although much less so than most of the others although the focus is on getting someone into bed it would work for getting someone to draw the curtains or make coffee - it would just be easier to ask. Tom Vizzini and Kimberly McFarland also have some good stuff but again I find the layering cumbersome and it feels like addition for the sake of the conscious brain rather than for the necessity of usefulness.

Kenton Knepper's Wonder Words focuses on stage mentalism but is a very good example of how to use these skills in very practical situations even if all of those are on stage.

The other, and there are a lot, are just variations on a similar theme or just cut and paste bits and bobs of little interest. No doubt if you came across them first and didn't make a 'study' or comparison then you'd be convinced they were the best thing since Svengali but please, always think about this, you already have the skills, you just need mentored on how to use them.

The ultimate source of all of these however still stands out as unique and no, it isn't the idiosyncratic language used by Milton Erickson who's complete works bare little or no resemblance to any of his apparently spawned stuff which has more to do with Bandler than the good doctor, no. The ultimately unmissable persuasion treatise - hypnosis or otherwise - is of course How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie. However wading through the early 20th century language and modernising the practical approaches to fit a much more educated and cynical society has took a while. Unless that's what you do I wouldn't bother.

So, now I've spent a lot of cash, time and effort. Worn out the iPod and noted what is missing or overly complicated I'm going to be presenting my own - probably online - how to cajole and persuade your mother to clean your room, the wife to mow the lawn, the boss to give you their job, the kids to clean your room, your clients to give you a tip and every member of the opposite sex of an acceptable age and demeanour to want to - - well - to want to -- course..... Stay tuned.
