(Updated Version, July 2008) As you begin to read this manual and listen to the audio files, you will start to understand the power this course of instruction can deliver for you. Many people spend their entire lives trying to find methods, techniques and strategies to make their lives more powerful. Learning how to become more commanding really is an interpretation of what you want to do with this so-called power. What you will learn is how to not only master yourself better through self-hypnosis, but how you can positively help the people around you. Like all of my courses, this is designed to give you the information that you need without out all of the extra fluff that comes with most books. I have put together what I feel is the information that you need in order to use these covert persuasion and hypnotic influencing techniques to their maximum. Many have asked me how I came up with this information and I can tell you that as I started to study Hypnosis, NLP and other Mind Studies back in the late 90’s, I realized most books and 3 © Copyright 2008 A. Thomas Perhacs www.advancedmindpower.com Manipulation: The Master Secrets of Covert Persuasion & Hypnotic Influence courses were not laid out in a format where you could learn quickly… When I started this manuscript, it was designed to be used as my notes for how this works, I had no intention of publishing it on a grand scale or even selling it. I condensed hundreds of hours of training, thousands of pages of notes and reading into what I consider the Reference Manual to become a highly potent Hypnotic Influencer or Covert Persuasion Expert. This information is laid out in a manner that you can readily apply it. Immediately you will begin to learn, use and then master these concepts for your own use. These concepts, methods and strategies are designed for informational purposes only and we assume no responsibility for you using this information in the wrong way. That being said, you must understand that with certain levels of supremacy comes the responsibility of using your skills in a responsible manner… This information is powerful, so just be careful how you use it… A Thomas Perhacs Hamilton, New Jersey July, 2008 4 © Copyright 2008 A.

When I wrote this book, I knew many people would look at the word “Manipulation” as a negative or bad image. My point with using the title “Manipulation” is that no matter what method you use to influence someone, you are manipulating them.
