Mind control of the crowds

Advertising and marketing are all about influencing the minds of big crowds. However, marketing tricks are not mind controlling techniques, as they are not able to command people to do commander's bidding.

Mind control as a practise focuses on devicing any means to puppeteer the target. It is almost impossible to control crowds, one can only guide them towards some pre-chosen direction. Biggest barrier for controlling the crowds is that generally there is now crowd mentality in ad hoc crowd. What you get is people with different interests and backgrounds. Therefore if you are to control crowds in peaceful and successful manner, you have to pre-select the people that will make up the crowd. The more specific niche the more successful control you can gain.

Hobbies combined with idol admiration are the best keys. These two combined bring active and passive involvement into picture. Together they tie the crowd into one set mind with potential to act on orders. This is the base one should start from.
