Default magic pill

Well, I visited this website a while ago and it seems pretty interesting...Has anyone here tried it?. (I saw a testimonial video of curtis there)...but to get the session costs 1000+ USD and private session costs 100000+ USD

Magicpillnow!

Yes wolfgang. I subscribed for their free course.

A big part of me wants to scream "Snake oil salesman!" but I think that a more likely scenario is overpriced NLP.

I did a session.

I agreed with Ruslan not to talk about what actually went on during it.


However, I will say that it is not a scam. BUT, it is not what you expect either.

My own experience with it was very strange. At the end of the session I was actually incredibly confused about what had just happened. One of the weirdest things I have experienced in my life.

How come there is not one single testimonial by a woman but 15 by men?

Hmm I would guess because almost everybody who visits the magicpill website was first a fan or user of pmemory. That is where we first heard from Ruslan that he was working on magic pill.

From my experience in the pmemory forums, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure every person I ever spoke to in there was male.

I guess "memory improvement" is a topic that males are just more interested in by nature.

For some weird reason L Ron Hubbards dynanetics comes to my mind. Many years ago I read his book , called the 800 number , I wanted to watch them do some one else first , but they would let me do that . desert rat

What was he doing in the session with you actually?

I feel he is doing some NLP patterns that you can read in NLP books in general.

BTW why is the bid thing that he is implementing instead of putting a specified money tag on the sessions? Also I can't understand that the money that one pays for the session is 'donation'?

Time with a skilled NLP practitioner can surely be quite valuable, and a lot more effective than trying NLP techniques by yourself-especially when you're starting out. A lot of people buy books/courses on NLP but not that many of them make real progress. On the other hand, a skilled NLP Practitioner (like Tony Robbins) can pull off amazing feats in an hour-such as getting rid of phobias or helping a child who's been failing school for years become an A student, through what feels like just having a conversation.

I'm not saying anything about whether Ruslan is the real deal or Magic Pill Now is worth the cost-I'm just saying that it could be.

I agreed with Ruslan not to talk about the specifics of the session, so I'm not going to talk about what we actually did.

I don't know exactly what NLP is either, as in I have heard of it but never seen it in practice, so I wouldn't know about that.

What happened during the session wasn't "fake". The first part of the session was really insightful and the second part was just plain weird. But I wouldn't call it fake at all.


About the money part: You email in with a "bid" on how much you are willing to pay. I believe the minimum bid is $1000. Ruslan has said openly that he only does a few sessions of Magic Pill a week, or sometimes even one or none. So he probably starts off doing the highest bids first, then over time works his way down to the lowest bids.

N.L.P. is nural languist programing ( not spelled rite , its not in my dictionary ) it uses words , that all I know . This magic pill is mucho dinero ($$$) it almost sounds like a cult . Many self hypnosis mp3 s are free to down load or $15-20 at a new age book store , or for loan at a library . Most cites have yoga classes . desert rat

My guess is this is something like what the hooponopono guy does, where you work on your issues and it affects other people that you're in contact with. Subjective reality stuff.

I'm planning to get a session maybe i'll post a trip report or something.
