You are invited to give an after-dinner speech to an important group. Accept willingly and plan to use the opportunity to put over some new ideas that you are eager to talk about.

Hypnotism is probably a supernatural power.
The ritual in hypnotism is designed to make an already dominating person even more dominating. Hypnosis is probably more a matter of applied psychology than anything else. Hypnosis is a lot of bunk which is mainly play-acting. Cultivate some self-confidence by learning about his own strong points. Learn to listen to other people carefully and become aware of social relationships.
