Here are just a few of the things Wonder Words will help you be able to do:
Using Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) in magic and mentalism performances all started with Wonder Words. Even NLP trainers refer to Wonder Words as their favorite training on NLP made practical and easy. Yet Wonder Words goes beyond mere NLP.
Serious performers understand the importance of words in creating powerful performances. You can feel the difference when you’re listening to a professional versus an amateur. The professional commands attention while the amateur can only mumble a few words that have little impact on the audience.
Thankfully, Kenton Knepper took the time to wade through all of the NLP source materials, find the gems, test and build on them through thousands of live performances… and then make them available to us in an easy-to-understand, practical format.
Why you should listen to Kenton…
Kenton Knepper began working on influence at a very early age. In elementary school he could be seen dragging around a tome on hypnosis. Later, Kenton became a teacher’s assistant in psychology classes in High School. Kenton grew up working on a hypnosis show with one of his many busy teachers. Kenton also excelled in understanding word power from an early age.
Kenton studied many esoteric and mysterious art forms, always looking for new ways to connect to people at deeper levels, and to help shift the consciousness of those he met towards positive ends. In his magic and mentalism shows he became known for helping people feel happier, healthier, more connected, more awake and aware. Kenton was also keenly aware of illusion and how positive use of illusion could lead people to greater insight and truths.
All of these factors lead Kenton to examine verbal influence, subconscious communication, indirect meaning and influence.
Kenton travelled all over the United States, Canada and Mexico performing magic and mentalism, while secretly honing his linguistic and subtle communication skills. He tested out his ideas with everyone from psychologists, Ericksonian hypnosis practitioners, famous speakers, celebrities and yes, even mentalists. Soon everyone wanted to know what he knew.
For over a decade Kenton would tip some of his secrets under the guise of magic performance and NLP to a handful of performing students. Eventually, he was prodded to teach an exclusive group of some of the world’s most famous mentalists a little about what he knew. It was this teaching to select students and peers which lead in time to Wonder Words.
