There is an opinion among the people that people of the so-called are possessed by everyday or primitive hypnosis. "Gypsy nationality". That their knowledge, romals pass from generation to generation, and can hypnotize anyone. Some people sharply deny such a possibility, others feel sacred awe at the mere mention of gypsies.
What is really going on and is it only a nomadic tribe who shamelessly uses their abilities. On this topic, we once talked with a professional …
Angelica is an experienced psychologist. And not just a "brain scientist", but a man with shoulder straps. For many years she worked as a chief psychologist in the police. By the nature of her work, she had to communicate both with the victims of suggestion, and with those who cast this "spell".
Angelica said that the effect of "gypsy" hypnosis is a scientifically proven fact. But the point is not at all about the magical abilities of women in flowered skirts. Their weapon is surprise. Moreover, the gypsies choose their victims professionally, so to speak about scammers. Whoever they will not go to. With a trained eye, they snatch people with problems out of the crowd. And then - a matter of technology, honed and high quality. A person is surrounded by a noisy crowd, they are not allowed to come to their senses, they are dumbfounded with terms and strange words. They constantly say the same phrases, persistently luring a person into cleverly placed nets. It can be compared to NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). The level is primitive, but it works flawlessly. People who are overwhelmed by a sudden attack lose control of their emotions and mind.
For the everyday hypnotist, be it a gypsy or just a clever swindler, it is important to establish eye and tactile contact. Pay attention to how cleverly the gypsies grab the sluggish pedestrians by the hands: first by one, then by the other, while always trying to look into the eyes.
Therefore, the psychologist warned - in no case let yourself be touched. Pull your hands away, put them behind your back, hide in your pockets. "I twist and twist, I want to confuse" - this is how the attack of clever hypnotists can be described in a few words. Until you are grabbed into a tenacious handshake, there is still a chance to break free without loss. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to the available cash and jewelry. If eye contact is made with the beggar, there is no turning back.
And you shouldn't consider yourself smarter and more agile than others, the psychologist said. Don't try to hypnotize a cheater. He will outplay you anyway. In her memory, there were cases when novice operatives tried to compete with gypsies, and left with nothing. In the literal sense of the word.
How do they choose a victim? How unmistakably they find in the crowd those who can impose their will and profit from the contents of the wallet? It's simple: they are excellent psychologists, although they did not graduate from universities. Body language and our facial expressions will tell you more than any detailed resume. An observant and witty person can easily figure out a person in a crowd that is burdened with numerous problems. It just seems that you seem confident, unapproachable and independent. In fact, this is not the case. Lowered shoulders, unsteady gait, slight sadness in the gaze: a self-taught hypnotist who can see and read non-verbal signs will easily find a victim by obvious or indirect signs. And then it's a matter of technology.

Yes, says the psychologist, there are people more suggestible, there are less. It all depends on mood, well-being and other external and internal factors. But most often the bait of gypsies and swindlers of all stripes come across kind people, self-doubt, unable to loudly and firmly "send" the enemy. These are people prone to mysticism, suggestible, timid and intelligent. Such exalted personalities are trying to deceive everyone who is not lazy, and not just gypsies.
I, said Angelica, should not be afraid of deceivers: “They will not approach you with a request, they will not press for pity. You look too strong and independent. Yes, and on the forehead it is written in large letters - I will send anyone to a known address! But do not flatter yourself, the friend continued: people like you are caught on self-confidence. Everything needs a middle ground.
Not only gypsies can hypnotize. Any more or less "gifted" swindler will not fail to take advantage of your oversight and kindness.
For example, a few days ago my friend became a victim of such thieves. And after all, an adult woman, not a child and not an old woman out of her mind! And I fell for the banal phrase "give me some water." She herself let dubious visitors into the apartment, and she herself brought "a drink." And that's it: after the key words about water, he doesn't remember anything. I found myself on the bed in the morning. There is no money in the bag, the apartment is locked from the inside with a key. Doesn't remember anything at all. She says that she herself is to blame, but how she was led, she can not even imagine. She felt sorry for the homeless in the trash heap when she went to take out the garbage. She invited me home to give the things of the deceased spouse and some pieces of wood for the construction of the hut.
"Is that what's in your head?" - I shouted at her on the phone when I finally managed to get through to her. Fortunately, “kind people” left her the phone. Why did it all happen? Because on her forehead it is written in large letters: “I am kind! I love everyone and feel sorry for everyone! " I even asked the question "Girl, what time is it?" do not respond. And she let strangers go home …
Conclusion, friends: everyday hypnosis exists. And scammers use it easily and naturally! They hone knowledge and skills every day. While we have been gnawing at the theory of various sciences for five years at the universities, they develop and improve their skills in practice.
After the story with my friend, I once again became convinced that you need to be on your guard with people: you never know who is in front of you.
Remember how Bulgakov's? "Never talk to strangers!" I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the quote, but the meaning is this. Don't talk, don't let yourself be touched, don't get into flattery, and don't pity anyone - you will be more whole!
