You know how to do hipnosys?
I once made that with my bro while he was sleeping.
Very funny, but a bit dangerous.
Yes, I've got a few books and know some people who do stage hypnosis acts. Pretty cool. There's definitely a certain responsibility you have, if you mess up really bad, people can become insane. Basically you have to look at it like this, our brain has this sort of 'self control system' ("consciousness", although according to current psychology standards there's no difference between the consciousness and the unconsciousness since it's interlinked so much) which keeps us from doing uncontrolled unwanted unconscious things, it makes sure that we do what we want and not what we are told to by others. You can easily by-pass this defense system though with a whole bunch of psychological tricks. It's simply because thát's the way the brain works.
A little example. Ever been on a very high tower where you can see the bottom below you several hundred meters below? Well, most if not all people will get this feeling 'ow I'm falling down' or at least the body will try to find balance, eventhough there's no need to find your balance.
Same experience but explained differently; let's put a thick and reasonably wide wooden plank on the floor and walk over it. No problems at all, right? You can even jump around if you like.
Okey, well, now put this wooden plank as a bridge between two high buildings and make sure it's rock-solid in place. It's still the same plank, it's still the same distance and requires the same kind of action, only difference is the brain will now react to the possibility of extreme danger and will try to make you nót walk over that wooden plank. That's the controlling 'mind' pulling some of your strings. That's why it usually takes a lot of confidence to be able to do such things without starting to have balancing issues or without sweating. 
Stage hypnosis uses those and similar kind of reactions to trick the mind and take control over the more unconscious part of the mind, you basically try to 'catch the control system off guard', after that you can give a powerful suggestion and it's likely that will happen (the person has then been hypnotized),
Cheers
Its really amazing how our brain is limited lol
In fact, knowing lots of psicology can makes us go further in our life and sociaty level by "manipulating" others trough speech.
Some years ago i found out that every single action we make is a result of an unconscious sexual impulse.
Then i started to search about this and i found out things like Ego, Super-Ego and Id (portuguese definitons for conscience, unconscience and social awareness).
The way i discovered this, it wss trought girls, if you look closely, everything they do is in someway related to their self image in their social group. Its all a crazy game about seduction, because unconsciously you know how to act in order to impress a girl, and when you're not with a girl, you know how to act in your group of friends to be accepted by your society, to raise your social level, so that you can impress/seduct them after all..
This may not make sense, because its all made almost unconsciously.
This year i got 3 girlfriends and the more i have the more i understand them.
One fact is that, the more girls your can have, more respect you'll have among your social group, and that respect will bring even more girls.
But behind this "gigolo" there's the 'real' me, just a "nerd" that likes to know everything, and likes computers, math and soo on..
Other ways to use this is to attract people's attention to you, that's very useful when you want to have success in your career for example.
This area of psychology also has a marketing face, for example, when you turn on you TV you see TV-Shows, or publicity, some of them are "cool" and attract your attention, others dont, the guys that make this kind of publicity study very well what attracts people's attention.
Now in my country there's one publicity that makes everyone look at it, i say, everyone again, that publicity is only a black screen, nothing is happening is like the TV turned off, and a voice saying, "nothing is going to happen here, go away" and something like that. That "repulsive" threatment makes people not wanting, but, desiring to see what's going to happen.
And in fact, its a cheap publicity, that consists only in a black screen.. cheap, but powerfull.
