voidisyinyang Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) I wonder if all I had learned was how to use people and not feel guilty. http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/hypnotists/ Louis travels to Vegas to meet some of the leader’s in the field of hypnotic self-improvement. He signs up for a course with Marshall Sylver a hypnotist who seems to have a great deal in common with the likes of Jimmy Swaggart – he claims he can make you into a millionaire but when Louis asks to meet his successful clients things take a different turn. Louis also hooks up with Ross Jeffries who’s almost a clone of T. J. Mackey from Magnolia only creepier. He uses hypnosis to make members of the opposite sex feel more attracted to him but for some unknown reason Louis also starts to find him strangely attractive… Another eye-opening inside look at an industry that seems determinedly unattractive after Louis has finished with it but also features some of the Louis’ most cringe-worthy moments of the entire series… Edited August 12, 2010 by drewhempel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeriesOfTubes Posted August 12, 2010 Looks like typical pick up artist & LOA trash (Law of Attraction). Not so much an expose of hypnosis/hypnotherapy but more people incorporating hypnosis into other exploits for personal gain. Kind of a separate world from the actual hypnosis profession, i.e., people working within the ethics constraints of the national guild, union members, or fields of psychology and medicine. Never heard of the American Academy of Hypnosis or Dennis Lowry. Is he the "leader in the field'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
