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.
