I began studying hypnosis about the same time that I began to also show an interest in playing pool. As I had already started to use hypnosis to 'see sounds' to help me to play manhunt and other games in the dark, I was curious about whether it was possible to improve my pool playing with hypnosis.
An idea that I had was that playing pool would be so much easier if I had lines on the table that I could follow, so I decided I would try hallucinating them. I hallucinated a dot on the cueball so that I would know where to hit to do the shot I was thinking needed to be done, I would hallucinate a line, like a laser beam, coming out from the cueball and making contact with the object ball I was aiming for, with it meeting the object ball at the point I needed to hit, and then a line, like a laser beam, coming off the object ball, following the path the ball is going to take, all the way to the ball's destination (normally a pocket), and a line for where the cue ball will go, and end up.
This wasn't a failsafe process, I still needed to be able to hit the cue ball at the spot on the ball, and still had to hit it so that it followed the line to the object ball, but if I could get these right I had a very good chance of doing well.
This wasn't to only trick I used to increase my chances of winning when playing pool, but other tricks will be saved for future posts.
Here is a brief video of me playing pool using the technique described above.
