Today, I finally mastered hypnotism!
Hah, I know I am against phsycoanalysis and all but...
I just had to discover for myself if for certain you could put
a person into a trance. I did just that but with my neighbor's chicken (LOL!).
It is very simple to do but it took me half of the year to kinda get the hang of it. It consists of talking in a soothing voice, making the person imitate your motions to a point where his eyes takes a drowsy look, wear a bright colored tie, and make sure to have a very calming voice. The room must be very quiet. I would not recommend you doing it on a live person because you could make them do things--

"You will hang your coat up when I say _____."

but that could be a permanent order. Yes, you'd reverse it by saying

"You will suppress the impulse of hanging your coat when I say ______."

but it just would not be fair.

:smile:

Sorry Gonzo.

LOL!

I made the chicken bark.
It was hilarious! I may video tape it.

:stick_out_tongue:

whats your definition of a chicken bark? Just asking because its physically impossible for a chicken to literally bark like a dog

Although, I did one time mistakly tell my friend she made her turkey bark

:smile: Well, it did not sound exactly like a dog.
It had more of a strange gurgle noise in it with a bit of a cluck mixed into it.
The chicken's call was kind of rough.

It was like a

"Crawk!"

sort of thing.
I'll have to videotape the chicken tommorow.
xD
It was HILARIOUS!

Oh, I ordered it to bark too.
I can't believe I never put that in the post!

xD LOL!

Instead of snapping my fingers.
I just kinda said
"Ok, you may be concious again!"

Lol, wow that's interesting! I don't know why but I've always been fascinated with hypnotism (perhaps I was preconditioned :wink: ).

Is it possible to hypnotise something that's not human? I had no idea.

It actually is!

I had studied Jean-Martin Charcot's (Founder of Hypnotism) techniques and simply applied it to an animal.
They are more complex than humans because--they do not follow your orders. You kind have to tolerate it and make them do so. Not in a rough manner, of course. I love animals and can't bare putting extreme force on them. A gentle touch just about does it.

Jean-Martin Charcot was the teacher of Sigmund Freud. Fun eh?
Funny thing is that I have not perfected it. No technique is stable (sometimes) as we've lost some of the information over the years due to alteration ect.
