Is it possible to induce a hypnotic state in a person such that the person doesn't realize what happens? Recently, I observed a conversation between two friends, let's call them A and B. They sat face to face in a bistro and talked about an information that A wanted from B, but B wasn't willing to give the information away. I didn't participate in this part of the conversation, so I had a chance to observe what was going on between A and B. A had good rapport with B and kept asking questions in order to make B tell what he didn't want to tell. Finally, after half an hour or so, B had told everything and was in a completely puzzeled state of mind. Even though I only observed and listened to them, I felt also very puzzled and distorted afterwards. Later, when I was alone at home, I realized that some kind of magic was involved here, but I didn't know exactly what it was. Yes, I did ask A what he did and how he did it, but he was not able to tell me exactly what happened, it seems to have a lot to do with intuition. Well, can it be that A hypnotized B? I know that eye contact over extended periods of time can induce trace, but what then? There was a lot of body language involved, and A used his voice very much. It reminded me at the wizard Saruman a character from "The Lord of the Rings" who bewitched people with his voice. I am really interested in the subject, it's fasconating to watch people interact. This "hidden hypnosis" technique seems to be used very frequent, especially in advertising, in particular in TV. -- Andreas
