Real life video games by sending user into trance, page 1

This is a video I found of a game in england which you play and a hypnotist and his assistants control hypnotic flashes in the arcade game. 1/3 of people go into a catatonic trance state while playing the game. Then they literally move the person out into a warehouse and place him where he left off in the arcade game, thus making the person think it is real.



YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS TO BELIEVE IT!!!

Its taken from an episode of the latest Derren Brown tv series here in the UK.

Very impressive but most of his stuff is.

Check out his website

www.channel4.com...

Most impressive is how he sends people to sleep in telephone boxes.

He is probably the best in the business.

This is a load of hooey. Did the filmmaker hypnotize the game players friends so that they would let their "friend" be kidnapped and subjected to psychological trauma. Some may remember the experiments of Stanley Milgram in the 1950s.

www.google.com...

Concerns over the ethics of Milgram's experiments led to his not being granted tenure a Harvard and such concerns led, in no small part, to the kinds of informed consent that must be assured prior to conducting such an experiment.

Presumably, this "experiment" goes even further, by using "convenience sampling" to identify a subject and relies on the subject's friends to allow a friend to be manipulated in such a way as to raise suspicion and even outrage in most individuals.

Beyond that why wouldn't the filmmaker/illusionist simply carry out an ethical experiment in a laboratory with subjects who have given informed consent, instead of hiding in a pub and using a gurney to transport the subject through city streets? And if all that commotion didn't wake the subject, why would an air-horn do that at just the desired moment?

In other words, this whole thing is a sham and the subjects were part of the game.

Those who knows how Derren and other "media-hypnotists" work knows that all the shows are prepared beforehand, chosing subject most likely to enter a trance state etc.

Although flashes as shown in the video *do* induce sezisures etc. in some individuals and is also used in EEG testing to see whether a person suffer from "light-induced" sezisures which may indicate epilepsy (spelled correctly?) it is highly unlikely IMHO that this should happen as shown in the video.

One of my kids went trough EEG-testing after having a sezisure some years back. The strobe-flashing the doctors tested on him would show if he was affected by flashes. When asked how this could manifest itself, the doctors said that it could be everything to be out of focus *a couple of seconds* to a grand mal sezisure.

What we see in the video is nothing of that, but a "light-induced" trance state. How could this happen? Easy, it was inserted as a post-hypnotic suggestion by Derren in the preparation of the show.

Rest assured that the guys friends was in on the whole thing.

If your are interested in the mechanism of stage hypnosis I recommend the book

The New Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnotism, by Ormond McGill
