Misc. Quotes
“TRICKS OF SUGGESTION
In popular speech these are sometimes called ‘hypnotic’ tricks. They are, in fact, used to produce the condition of trance known as ‘hypnotic state,’ in which the hypnotiser fixes his patient with a steady gaze and in a firm, confident manner tells him that he is falling asleep. We sometimes read that powerfully persuasive orators ‘hypnotize their audiences’ into believing what is required of them. The hypnotic trance is a condition startlingly different from the alert state of everyday life, and an audience that was literally hypnotized would attract as much attention as one that was dead drunk. Such an expression must only be understood as the same kind of inexact metaphor as when we speak of another audience being ‘intoxicated with enthusiasm.’ So we shall prefer the more exact technical psychological term and talk of ‘tricks of suggestion.'”
