This is a new robbery technique we've never seen anyone try  Probably because there's no way that it should've worked.

56-year-old Aftab Haider owns a wine shop in London.  He was at his store a few months ago when a guy walked in, walked up to Aftab, and started trying to HYPNOTIZE him.

You can see in the video that after Aftab had been approached by the would be hypnotist that he just stood there, perfectly still, while the guy reached into his pockets to steal his wallet and a bunch of cash.  Then the guy took off.  As soon as he left the store, Aftab snapped out of the trance.

The police just released the security video that shows the hypnosis to see if someone can help them track down the hypnotist.

Another hypnotist told reporters it's possible this guy had hypnotized Aftab in the past, then just said a trigger word once he was in the store, which is why he was able to knock him out so quickly.
