I know a dude that tried unsuccessfully to quit smoking and got hypnotized. He never touched another one, and wouldn't go around people smoking.          


It works on some folks.

I know a dude who did the same thing and it 'worked', for a few weeks that is. He went back to smoking. If it is supposedly real I don't believe it would 'wear off' after a few weeks.

I was partially hypnotized once by a stage hypnotist. It actually put me in an unusually chill mood for a couple months. I don't claim to understand it.

Yes I do. I have hypnotized people. Accidentally.

Just saw a clip the other day of Howie Mandel getting hypnotized on his "America's Got Talent" show. Apparently the guy told Howie (who is a notorious germaphobe and refuses to shake hands for any reason) that everyone he meets would be wearing latex gloves. When Howie "woke up" he shook hands with two of his co-hosts, who were stunned that he did it.

During his interview about it, Howie swore it wasn't a set up, and that he was actually pissed off about it later.

The Texas Rangers have people who are trained in hypnosis

They also have people that are trained in other junk science, like polygraphs.

Soon they'll be doing seances and hiring psychic investigators.

As a guided meditative state?  Yes.

As in barking like a dog and taking your clothes off, because someone said the trigger word?  Fuck no.

I did thoroughly enjoy two movies where hypnotism was the basis for the story:

Office Space
and that Kevin Bacon horror movie.

Professor in college hypnotized several students, one of which I knew well. So yes.
