LoL, that's what I figured. The ones you may see on the streets or in the bars I would figure are mostly doing it for fun and what not. It's like seeing a magician perform for random strangers on the streets, it seems like it's incredibly frequent and popular due to YouTube and what not but in real life, it's still quite rare. Thanks for your reply catweazle!

I bet there are 50 people on BOTH continents who have "performed" any form of street hypnosis EVER. Add another 50 worldwide.

There are about 1000 people who have ever seen a "street hypnosits" worldwide...

It is INSIGNIFICANT and NON-EXISTANT for all practical purposes. You are more likely to win a lottery than see a street hypnotist firsthand.

After all, there are about 9 people out of almost 7 billion worldwide, who are particapting in this pointless thread.

And on whether hypnosis is safe, I think we have the answer, again taken from Roberts web site...

"1. Is Hypnosis Dangerous?
No. The answer is as short and direct as that. No, hypnosis is not dangerous. It is a perfectly natural state of mind. People are sometimes afraid that may be they won't wake up or will be left mentally scarred and affected. The truth is that hypnosis is really just a deep sleep.

Sometimes people are enjoying hypnosis that much that they just end up drifting into ordinary sleep. When hypnotised you are still fully concious of everything that goes on around you and you cannot be made to do or say anything that would contradict your everyday morals and beliefs."

And that really should be the end of this thread.

Fortunately they are both pretty small groups or this could be the beginning of World War 3. It wouldn't be the first time I've compared the illegal street hypnosis crew to the Nazis... Brainwashing eachother with their rubbish. Meeting up in small groups and 'hypnotising eachother' to give eachother little egotrips because they are 'the hypnotist'.

I'll refer you back to my earlier post, where I said hypnosis is only dangerous in the wrong hands. That website is designed to market me and my show, and therefore that answer is simply there because if they go ahead to book me then no, hypnosis is not dangerous

Bang on sir, and you were right about the Goodwins Law thing too, RT being the guilty party!

Goodwins law???? then Craigboy has called me both a nazi and a hitler on this board numerous times. Also stupid comparisons to terrorists aren't too far away either. Which a few on here have grasped at due to the inability to say anything worthwhile.

As for Roberts comparison of impromtu hypnotists brain washing each other? You need to have a brain to start with. I think he was to complimentary.
