A hypnotist explains why people nervously ask him not to hypnotize them, then warns that real danger comes from people who use hypnosis secretly, hiding behind roles like comedian or marketer, not from professionals who advertise what they do.

So as I'm out networking, doing life, just meeting people, it often comes up in discussion that I'm a hypnotist. And one of the most common replies when people find out I'm a hypnotist is they'll go, oh, I'm scared, don't hypnotize me. And it's always funny to me because, not to brag, but I'm the best at what I do. And because I'm the best at what I do, it's 2 things that always happen before I do it. Thing number one is I send an invoice. Thing number 2 is you pay said invoice. So you haven't done either of those, so you're safe on that front. And the second thing that I usually think about is if I was out maliciously hypnotizing people, I'm not, but if I was, the arrogance of you to assume that you would be my target when there are literal millionaires walking around. Come on now. Like, you, you good. I promise you good. And another thing that I often think about, if I was out maliciously hypnotizing people, do you really think I would present myself as a hypnotist? No. If I had malicious intent, I would position myself as a comedian, a pastor, like an R&B singer. I would do it in such a— you already been hypnotized. A marketer. I would position that shit in the coldest way and hypnosis would never enter the conversation if my goals were malicious. But because they aren't, I show up as a hypnotist. But the hypnotist isn't the person you got to watch out for. The person you gotta watch out for is the hypnotist that you don't even know is a hypnotist. And it's so many. I'm a hypnotist. I know hypnosis when I see hypnosis.
