Dear Liloti,
Last night at a party I met a guy who thinks you're really great (no, it wasn't you). He said he met you on a trip to Califusa and you're one top notch super cool major dude. As I'm a first class jackass just like yourself I'm wondering: What sort of hypnosis did you use on this poor guy?
I've mastered most of the major manipulative hypnosis types (Forensian, Deep Unconscious Distraction, Monkey Fist, Forced Focus Set, etc.) but nothing has ever worked like the voo-doo you pulled down on the guy I was talkin' to. He had stars in his eyes and I think he even called you "Lord Liloti" once.
woofy...
great question and one that most so-called "charismatics" keep close to their chest..
(Rasputin,Jim Jones,Idi Amin,Julius Caesar,Manson,JFK-they never revealed their secrets...)
But, seeing as this thread is ASK ANYTHING,the question must be answered honestly...
1)Neuro-Linguistic Programming...
works for politicians. New Age gurus,Spokesmen,Cult Leaders,Salesmen..
and yes! even artists!
the beauty of it's influence is two-fold...
because it not only influences behavior
but also reinforces that with an emotional change in the "mark".
2)i don't wear a hat...
hats are distracting.
Why listen to a person when you can look at their hat?
Lose the hat...
unless your bald.
then they'll just look at your head....
- Candy!
Always have candy ready available
left pocket
sugary candy-preferably hard candy in a wrapper
butterscotch/mints/etc.
right pocket
that NutraSweet diabetic candy
(it's always good to add an aspartame-laced candy to an individual
especially before a sale,or if you want to make your point very clear...)
- i think this last one is the most important...
Smiles and Laughter...
Have Fun!
Think of a conversation and interaction as not only a means to exchange information
but as an amusing game,something to keep you busy
and interested in the present conversation
while revving you up for the next rube...
Laugh after every sentence..
Extract funny-sounding words and repeat them back to the conversant.
Acting like you understand everything they say
completely and utterly
also helps...
Mix all of this with the Tiki Crowd's propensity to drink large amounts
and you'll have the little dears
eating NutraSweet out of the palm of your hands
buying your artwork
and thinking that you really care!
Good Luck!
Hope these new techniques and Helpful hints
allow you to Rule the Great Northwest!
