Robert Farago Is a Knoxville-based hypnotist, pool player, writer and social media content creator. The Tufts-educated psychologist founded two of the world’s most popular blogs: The Truth About Cars and The Truth About Guns. Before moving to the Volunteer State, Farago spent 15 years in the UK, hypnotizing professional athletes in golf, motor racing, football, darts, and track and field. Farago’s newfound love of billiards brought him out of retirement to create social media focusing on the mental side of the game, generating millions of views. He also works with individual players to eliminate performance anxiety (triggering the “flow state”), remove bad habits and instill new positive behaviors. “I never talk about a player’s mother,” the self-described Command Hypnotist avers. “I tap into their subconscious mind to create or eliminate subconscious stimulus -> response patterns.”
