The Underground Hypnosis course has received a lot of attention online lately. I usually try to review shows related to dating and seduction, but I think there is quite a bit of information on this show that directly applies to success with attraction and dating, so I want my readers to be aware.

First of all, I want to say that I think this product is overhyped and promoted. It’s touted as a secret society type of secret thing. Like the author’s life is in danger for revealing all these secrets. Yes, it is powerful. No, not many people know about it, but this is what I like to call “hype”. Although information is powerful, it is not as serious as marketing makes it seem. The marketing doesn’t really fit the product. It’s not even really about hypnosis. Yes, it uses some hypnotic principles and techniques, but the main focus of the course is social control and influence. It is more about being able to make others follow you, being able to persuade others using certain psychological tools. I would classify it more as advanced persuasion tactics.

All that said, the course does have its merits. Although it is called Underground Hypnosis, it is actually a field called Black Opps by the author, Taylor Starr. It is actually a combination of techniques from the NLP, Hypnosis, Social Engineering and Seduction communities. And this combination introduces some very powerful persuasive techniques.

The main strength of this program lies in a group of three techniques called The Majors: the Iron Man pattern, the Black Mirror operation, and the No Cleaver technique. The Iron Man pattern is used to instantly gain confidence and social status. Black Mirror is a way to make someone like you in a matter of minutes. Last but not least, the No Cleaver technique is actually putting someone into a trance state, guiding and influencing them to achieve their goals. They can be used individually or in combination depending on the needs of the interaction. While some of the methods are a bit off the mark, they work and work great. Something I found really useful was a part of the Black Mirror technique called strings. It’s basically a mental operation you perform during a conversation that allows you to keep the conversation going and steer it in the direction you want it to go. It is a simple tool, but very effective.

Another section of Underground Hypnosis that I really like and use in my daily life comes from the section titled “King of Social Engineering: Becoming the Alpha.” I found a lot of useful information there, and it’s directly related to success with women, which is why I want to talk about it here. A key concept of this section is that the group, not the alpha, decides who gets alpha status. Therefore, if the group changes its collective mind, a new person can be alpha. So you never have to compete with an alpha directly, you just have to like the group better and follow them. Surprisingly, this is really easy to do with the steps provided in this section. Taylor Starr walks you step by step through the process of joining a group, establishing a relationship with the group, and ultimately reaching alpha status. She doesn’t go into a lot of detail about things like getting the alpha mindset or using dominant body language, mostly just conversational tactics. For more information, she would suggest John Alexander’s How to Become an Alpha Male. (Click here to see my review of that product.)

With four full hours of audio instruction, this course is packed with information. And it’s good for the most part. However, don’t expect to get much from the bonuses. Actually, I think they cheapen the course rather than add to it. Also, don’t expect to learn real hypnosis with this course. If you’re interested in a real hypnosis course, check out How to Hypnotize by Steven Hall. Also, there is a super advanced hypnosis course called Conversational Hypnosis. It teaches real covert hypnosis techniques, and although it costs twice as much as Underground Hypnosis, it has four times as much material.

I’ve been chasing Underground Hypnosis a lot here (because I want to be completely honest with my readers), but it shines in a few places. It’s over the top and over the top, but to its credit, it really does have the power to change every interaction you have for the rest of your life. The Alpha and Majors section are top notch, in my opinion. If it sounds like what you’re looking for, check it out and see for yourself.
