Im not really buying it. He says the audience was not prepped but yet they are all clapping for him to come on stage? Is this guy some famous celebrity or something because usually at public televised events they prep the qudience to clap when the show starts. They also have "laugh" signs, etc, so my first question was, was this audience prepped to clap? sort of destroys the rest of his premise. I tried his hypnosis thing but couldnt even follow along "breath and then become tense" not even sure what that means, nor did I forget my name. Im interested in mkultra but i dont really buy this. The audience didnt just show up for some show that turned out to be about hynosis, they must have had some prepearation in some way.

Thanks for the info and the link Smurfy. Actually, I am familiar with most of the published literature on the topic having been keenly interested in the possibilities since hearing the Robert Kennedy assassination "live" on the radio.

Scorrick: You point is well taken in as much as the subject was aware that he was on a TV program. However, he was NOT aware of what (if anything) he would be programmed to do. The "shoe" demonstration was quite compelling, as well as the "dry run" in the restaurant followed by the polygraph. Also, seeing a hypnotherapist declare that what was proposed was impossible was somewhat telling. May I suggest you watch the entire program before leaping to conclusions? Unless the program was a complete hoax (and I'm not ruling out that possibility), the evidence presented was quite convincing.

I didn't watch the video (it doesnt work for me for some reason)

But if your talking about Derren Brown, then yes he's famous, and has many shows with similar crazy themes. And the audience usually go to see him knowing he's going to show them something interesting with mind tricks. He also tends to choose people he senses are easier to hypnotize to do tricks on. Some people can't be hypnotized or at least it's harder to hypnotize them.

I remember getting chills when I watched this!

I can't remember why I didn't post it. The end was very touching, I think I cried!

To think this has been done to people is awful. Those ruined lives and wrongful deaths.

Very disturbing. Taking away free will is despicable.

Namaste

To me if freewill is truly taken then it is Game-Over...

Derren Brown is very well known all over England/Europe.
Been watching his stuff for years, and Im american. lol
So not just in Europe.

This is very real, whether people "buy it" or not.
Brown is one of the most brilliant minds ever, in my opinion.
and even though I don;t fully agree with him on many things..
Many I do agree with him on. lol

Anyway...
This is a great episode, watch the whole 45-50 minutes if you can.

You most certainly could be made to kill another human without having any memory/recall of doing it.
and it's really not that hard to do.

No probs, although if you are genned up, I fail to see how you would be ultimately shocked since MKULTRA did use hypnotism in their arsenal. I have seen post hypnotism performed in a humourous way, on a local hereabouts many years ago by Edwin Heath R.I.P. It involved the guy at the end of the show, running around the whole town shouting, "The greatest show on Earth" and that's exactly what he did, he ran round the whole town ringing a bell. In that case there was a verbal cue.

To combat this effect of hypnotism, you just need to be able to hypnotize yourself into believing you can not be hypnotized! probably wouldn't work against an expert in the field! But the more you know about what triggers they use, and what words ,and states of mind; the better you will be at combating them!

Look up NLP and research techniques! It'll blow your mind when you start to see things with clarity! Don't always assume that someone who misspells a word, or puts a different word when another should have been used is stupid! They are probably manipulating you!

Sounds like "The Manchurian Candidate" to me...

Star & Flag.

The episode was very entertaining... to say the least.... oh my god! Wow!

Summary of the video:
In the beginning of the program, the hypnotist screened his initial audience using various hypnotic and suggestibility games. He determined the top tier most suggestible guy out of that audience. He picked the cream of the crop. Throughout the following weeks, the hypnotist implanted a compartmentalized dissociative persona (the marksman) within the psyche of the potential assassin. The hypnotist also implanted certain triggers into his mind to enter a hypnotic trance and also to activate the 'marksman' personality. And to top it off, he hypnotically conditioned the potential assassin to undergo amnesia when triggered.

Wow.

I have been intrigued by hypnotism since the first time I saw people put chickens and alligators into hypnotic trances.

The "Hypnotic Handshake" and Neuro-Linguistic Programming really moved my understanding of hypnotism past the fun and games of stage hypnotists.

How can we be sure we are safe within our own minds? How can we know that we are aware of REAL reality? This science is one of the most frightening in my opinion.

A hypnotically conditioned assassin is extremely real from my understandings.

i seen this ages ago but still very interesting.
stephen fry is a good sport getting shot in one of his shows.
