If you are looking to learn covert hypnosis then I'd definitely say you're making a great decision as the enjoyment, fascination, and benefits of this form of hypnosis will not disappoint.
Covert hypnosis is a method that aims to communicate with the subconscious of another individual, all without them knowing about it. This technique is used every day, yet not many people will realize that they are actually being hypnotized to get them to take a certain action. For example, good salesmen can often manipulate a situation into their favor. This can be through conversation, body language, gestures, and facial expressions. Although the person may not realize it, the way someone speaks, the words they use, and the body language can communicate to the subconscious mind.
Covert hypnosis is a very useful technique to learn, but also a very interesting one at that. You do not have to work in a profession where persuasion needs to be used to enjoy the methods taught through covert hypnosis. Anyone can learn and I highly recommend doing so, even if just for enjoyment.
One of the well-known illusionists that use this technique in the public eye is Derren Brown. He claims to produce desired results through neuro-linguistic-programming (NLP) and covert hypnosis. The effects are quite amazing, and often leave a "how did he do that" reaction. The fact is that covert hypnosis can be learnt by anyone. I would never have believed it if I hadn't experienced the covert hypnosis technique first hand.
When I first set out to learn covert hypnosis I was a little overwhelmed with information online. However, having learnt several hypnosis techniques I'd suggest learning from a reliable resource rather than searching for free information via websites and forums. Though there can be exceptions, a lot of the information you'll find online is misguided, outdated, or describes the techniques rather then teaches you them.
The ultimate course that gets my top recommendation is the Covert and Conversational Hypnosis Course. This course, compromising of audio (MP3) downloads, tapes, and PDF manuals has a TON of information and really is the ultimate course for any hypnosis enthusiast.
