This article is going to be about conversational hypnosis and how it can be dangerous when the wrong people use it.If you can execute conversational hypnosis correctly you can make people do what ever you want. Derren Brown is a famous hypnotist in the UK. He’s been featured on many national TV programs showing off his skills. One of the most amazing things I’ve seen him do is hypnotize a random person and then make them withdraw ?5000 from the bank for him. They went and did this oblivious to the spell that they were under. At the click of his fingers he then put the person to sleep and told them in 10 seconds time they will wake up and forget the last few moments of their life. When the person watched the film back they were in disbelieve that it had happened and had no memory of it. This is an extreme example however. There’s no question that Derren Brown is one of the best in the world at doing this. Unfortunatley criminals have seen the power of conversational hypnosis and it is now being used for crime. In the USA a man was calmly stealing from store tills by hypnotizing the cashier. Once they were under his spell he would then ask them to fill up his bag with money and then he would walk away. Staff at the stores only became aware of what was going on when the till didn’t add up at the end of the week so they turned to CCTV which exposed what was going on. There are several other reports of professional hypnotists using their skills to steal or con money out of people. Hypnotizing people to steal money is such a perfect crime because there’s no noise or fuss so it is easy to go unnoticed. I personally have been learning conversational hypnosis as a hobby. It is great fun to learn and put into practice but you need to be careful not to let the power go to your head and to make sure you stay on the right side of the law.

I had a casino night arranged for my personal clients but didn’t feel a whole night of actively playing poker and roullette was adequate for them, I wanted something much more. From a professional recommendation I looked into the possibility of a corporate event magician. Corporate magicians seem to be really popular lately with the likes of Derren Brown and David Blaine making magic popular. So I took the plunge and planned for my bash some corporate magic. Was I happy? It was the best decision I ever made!

Not having ever hired entertainment before I looked through the internet and found quite a bunch of magicians but very few who specialised in mind trickery like Derren Brown. I eventually booked a party magician and was not upset with my choice. He effortlessly entertained and read the thoughts of all the 80 guests and my mother was absolutely chuffed and surprised.
