Hypnosis Demonstration referred to in the book Hypnotic States of Americans

Viewing the demonstration on this DVD will show you clearly that it is possible to manipulate a person through hypnotic techniques to think what is untrue or to act otherwise than they normally would.

Indeed the techniques used in this demonstration re mild compared with some influences that surround us in our daily lives. Yet you will see people doing silly things and explaining and defending them in silly ways.

When similar and even stronger influences are used to make people do much more serious things than changing their shoes around and thinking it was their idea, the possibilities become much more sinister.
