Derren Brown and Conversational Hypnosis

Lately I’ve been reading a lot about conversational hypnosis. I’ve bought an online course by Igor Ledochowski. It’s called, quite approriately, The Power of Conversational Hypnosis.

Conversational Hypnosis
Much of what we know about conversational hypnosis is based upon the works of one man – Milton Erickson. He was one of the great influences for Richard Bandler and John Grinder when they started with NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). He basically used language as a tool to reach people on a subconscious level. Most people will reject certain advice on how to change straight away. But if you for instance embed a suggestion in a story you are telling, this suggestion will embed itself into the other person’s mind like a seed in fertile ground. I will go into this subject in more detail in another post. First I want to show you some entertaining examples on how people can be influenced with subtle suggestions.

Derren Brown
I’m a big fan of Derren Brown and have seen most of his tv shows. What intrigues me the most is how he gets people to do what he wants them to do. Conversational hypnosis does play a role here, but it isn’t the only tool he uses. He uses, as he says so himself, a mix of magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship.

Here are a couple of videos where Derren uses suggestion to influence how the other people react. Apparently it isn’t allowed anymore to embed these videos into this blog post, but here are the links so you can still watch them.
