In this video, Darren Brown subliminally convinces a man to want something that he doesn't want. Fascinating but also worrisome implications....

Found this...

Ordinarily it is thought that those persons who cannot be hypnotized are powerful. This is absolutely wrong -- and I say absolutely. The stronger the person the more easily he is hypnotized. The second wrong conception is that a very intelligent person cannot be hypnotized. That too is absolutely wrong. The more stupid a person the less is the possibility of hypnotizing him. You cannot hypnotize an idiot -- impossible. You cannot hypnotize a madman -- impossible. The more intelligent a person the more easily he can be hypnotized.

Why? -- because hypnosis needs cooperation; the basic factor is cooperation, your cooperation. The idiot cannot understand what you are demanding, what type of cooperation; the madman cannot understand what you are demanding. Only an intelligent person can cooperate, and hypnosis is possible only when you cooperate. So if you are paranoid, schizophrenic, neurotic, you cannot cooperate. If you are very much afraid, a fear complex is there, you cannot cooperate.

A person who can trust can be hypnotized easily. A person who cannot trust anybody cannot be hypnotized -- because the person who is hypnotizing is not using any force on you. This is again a wrong conception, the third, that the hypnotist is using some force. No, not at all. The hypnotist has no force to use; the hypnotist is only using your force, so you have to cooperate. If you don't cooperate nobody can hypnotize you. And cooperation needs trust, because you will be unconscious and you don't know what this man who is hypnotizing will do to you.

Also, notice that Derren Brown uses what can be called "Handshake Induction"...

Very good post and he is really competent. NLP technique and others techniques....
It reminded me some of the videos of Hitler public speeches and the power to manipulate the crowds.

Darren Brown works in very big circles, he constructs very well planed and laid out stings, sometimes over months just to pull off one 1/2 hour show. He really wouldn't be a person to have as a foe hehe.
Even idiots can be set up and manipulated, just look at Governments!!
