- This is a hypnotic technique used to bypass someone's critical thinking and make them agree to your plan.
HOW TO DO IT :
You must state your idea as if it is already happening, not as a question.
- Wait for the 'Trance State': Do this when they are distracted (driving, scrolling on their phone, or eating). Their conscious guard is down.
- The Presupposition: Don't say 'Can we go to the beach?' Say: 'When we go to the beach later, we should bring towels.'
- The Loop: Mention it again 10 minutes later: 'I hope the traffic to the beach isn't bad.'
WHY IT WORKS :
- By talking about the details (towels, traffic) instead of the decision (going), their brain accepts the decision as a fact. They will find themselves getting ready to go without ever officially saying 'Yes.'
