Abraham Lincoln's 1856 "Lost Speech" allegedly hypnotized journalists so completely none wrote it down. The technique: lock eyes with one person, deliver a full sentence, move to the next. Repeat across the room and everyone falls under the spell.
Chapters
Abraham Lincoln once gave a speech so good that nobody wrote it down. So it's May 1856 in Illinois, and Abraham Lincoln gives a speech to a bunch of journalists. They have pen and paper ready, but he hypnotized the crowd so well that not one of them wrote a single word. And to this day, we have no idea what he said. It is called the Lost Speech. How you can hypnotize a crowd like he did is you focus on one person at a time. You have to lock eyes with them and finish a full sentence. And then once they're in trance, once they've already stopped being on their phone or any other distraction, then you move You can think of this as picking off the room one by one, and then eventually you're gonna have the room just like Abraham Lincoln did. Everyone's hypnotized.
