00:00Hypnotism is not magic, it is not mind control, but it is powerful.

00:05Could hypnotism be used to turn an innocent man into a killer?

00:10Science says no, but history says otherwise.

00:13So what is hypnotism?

00:14A doorway to the mind's deepest recess, a tool of healing, or a weapon of control.

00:22The answer perhaps is all three.

00:25There are forces within our minds, forces we cannot see, we cannot touch, yet they hold

00:37the power to bend reality itself.

00:41What if someone told you that you are not in control of your own thoughts, that a simple

00:48whisper, a snap of the fingers could make you forget who you are?

00:55Welcome to the world of hypnotism, a world where reality is an illusion, or is it?

01:12Dr. Magnus had spent decades unlocking the secrets of mind, but tonight, tonight would be different.

01:20His experiment would cross a line no one had dared cross before.

01:27As the volunteers sit in a circle, the hypnotist begins his work.

01:35With slow, rhythmic words, he guides them into a trance.

01:41One by one, their eyes flood a shot.

01:44But what happens when the hypnotist himself loses control, when the experiment turns against

01:54him?

01:55One of the volunteers, a young woman named Clara, opens her eyes, but they are not her eyes anymore.

02:03She speaks in a voice that is not her eyes, Clara, whispering, you shouldn't have some here.

02:16Dr. Magnus stares in horror as the other volunteers begin to speak in unison.

02:23Voices echoing like chorus from another world.

02:29The hypnotist, the master of the mind has awakened, something that cannot be put back to sleep.

02:38Hypnotism is not magic, it is not mind control, but it is powerful, it is the art of suggestion,

02:50the ability to bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the subconscious.

02:56It can heal or it can destroy.

02:58But hypnotism, it is not just entertainment.

03:05It has been used for centuries in therapy, medicine, even war.

03:11The question is, how far can it go?

03:25Michael had no memory of what happened.

03:27The last thing he remembered was sitting in a cafe, talking to a stranger, a stranger with

03:35piercing eyes and a voice like velvet.

03:40Flashback, Michael in a trance repeating words like a mantra.

03:49You will obey, you will forget, you will execute.

03:53Could hypnotism be used to turn an innocent man into a killer?

03:59Science says no, but history says otherwise.

04:02The truth is, no one really knows.

04:09So how does it work?

04:10The brain has different states of consciousness, beta, alpha, theta, delta.

04:17Hypnotism works by guiding the subject into a theta state, a place between wakefulness and

04:26sleep where the subconscious mind is most open to suggestion.

04:30It can help people quiet smoking, manage pain, overcome fears.

04:41But in the wrong hands, it can become a tool of manipulation, even destruction.

04:47A young woman trapped in a never-ending loop.

04:56She wakes up every day in the same room, the same scenario playing out again and again.

05:03Emily had been hypnotized, but this was not an ordinary hypnosis.

05:08This was something far worse, a prison built within her own mind.

05:14Every morning, she hears a voice.

05:17You are safe.

05:18You cannot leave.

05:19You do not want to leave.

05:22She screams, pounces at the walls.

05:26The cycle always resets.

05:28She has been programmed, conditioned to believe that reality itself is nothing but a dream.

05:36But then something changes.

05:39One day, she hears another voice, a whisper, a single word, wake up.

05:45The spell shatters, the room dissolves.

05:48Emily finds herself laying on a hospital bed, wires attached to her head.

05:55A doctor looks down at her clipboard in hand.

05:59So now a doctor said, welcome back, Emily.

06:02You have been under for three years.

06:08Hypnotism is a tool.

06:10But like any tool, it can be used for good or for harm.

06:15It raises ethical questions.

06:17How much control should one person have over another's mind?

06:22Can hypnosis be used without consent?

06:26And more importantly, can we ever truly trust our own thoughts?

06:41It has helped thousands, but it has also raised alarms, false memories, suggestibility, even

06:49claims of mind.

06:51Control experiments.

06:52Where does the power of hypnotism truly end?

07:00A young man, David, boards a train.

07:04He sits across from an old woman who stares at him, smiling strangely.

07:11David had never met her before, or so he thought.

07:15But something about her gaze made his skin crawl.

07:20The woman leans forward, whispers something in his ear.

07:24His body goes rigid, his mind blank.

07:29The train speeds forward, but for David, time stops.

07:34When he wakes up, he is somewhere else entirely, a city he does not recognize.

07:41A different train they kept in his pocket.

07:44His wallet gone, his memories missing.

07:49They call it waking hypnosis, the ability to manipulate a person without them even knowing,

07:57a simple phrase, a trigger, and suddenly you are not you anymore.

08:06So what is hypnotism?

08:07A doorway to the mind's deepest recess, a tool of healing, or a weapon of control?

08:16The answer, perhaps, is all three.

08:19It all depends on who holds the key.
