You sat and listened to what he said and believed it so you stayed put.

He is a magician at the end of the day. One who likes to play mind games.

Cant stand him personally, not my kind of thing - very boring.

He's not just a majician, he's an unbelieveably talented hypnotist as well. I've studied and practiced hynotherapy, I can make peoples arms go numb, hands rise in the arm, all sorts of stuff, it's not that difficult, but what he can do with hypnotic language is quite extrodinary and is on a completely different level and is extremely difficult to master.

Whether you like him or not, and I can see why people wouldn't, he does have the most amazing skills. Maybe read his book if you want to see the extent of his skills, for instance he can memorise 4 decks of cards .....

Yes, you've got to be up for it or at least susceptable to it, it doesn't work on everybody.

But to say he's just a majician who plays mind games is like calling Hussein Bolt somebody who can run quite fast when he fancies it.
