Did you know that "pattern interrupts" are a hypnotist's secret way to get into someone's unconscious mind?
In fact, they're so powerful that a man used them to steal from a lot of people many years ago. He was caught and sent to jail.
of places to eat.
More on this later...
Pattern interrupts are so powerful because they work this way...
Someone's expectations of how a normal, everyday event should go are broken when you do something very out of the ordinary instead.
This makes their conscious mind confused for a short time and opens a short door to their unconscious mind.
At that exact moment, you can then tell their unconscious mind what to do.
And it can be EXTREMELY powerful.
Take the person who went to jail for using them. It turned out that this guy was easily taking money from restaurants left, right, and centre. He would go to fancy restaurants and start giving orders to waiters. Halfway through, he'd surprise the waiter with a pattern break. Whenever he got confused, he'd tell them to "forget the bill" and then carry on with the order as usual. Nine times out of ten, after eating all their good food and drinking all their good wine, he would just leave. And without having to pay anything!
Of course, if you use this kind of hypnosis power to do something bad, you'll get caught in the end.
And good job too.
But that doesn't change the fact that pattern interrupts are a very powerful way to get into the unconscious minds of other people whenever you need to.
In fact, when they met Milton Erickson, the best hypnotist of all time, his friends used to REFUSE to shake his hand!
That's because he liked to use pattern interrupts on them and then give them little jobs to do for him.
Still, that sneaky old wizard knew so many conversational hypnosis tricks that if he had really wanted to talk to their unconscious minds, he could have done it easily and they wouldn't have even known it.
Conversational hypnosis is so effective because people think the instructions YOU give them are their own.
Which is very useful!
