Richard Bandler used to joke, “I’m only a hypnotist, so this is only a suggestion,” followed by an embedded command. Since the word “only” means “nothing but” or “nothing else but,” “I’m only a hypnotist” (which would ordinarily indicate a statement that is self-deprecating or minimizing) literally becomes, “I am a hypnotist and nothing else.” This creates a context in which the listener becomes a hypnotic subject who responds to the hypnotist’s suggestions. The usual meaning of “This is only a suggestion,” in which the word “only” would ordinarily minimize the impact of what is said next, reverses to become a command to be followed hypnotically. Recognition of the reversal of the usual meanings of these phrases creates an enjoyable joke to further distract the listener’s conscious mind. All this occurs through implication.
