Surrounded by the serene beauty of the country estate and supported by luxury amenities like a private chef, this experience is designed to elevate your abilities far beyond the ordinary, giving you a 10x return on your investment.
Plus, you’ll gain access to $100k in exclusive bonuses, including unreleased courses, private memberships, and confidential documents.
Day One
Unleashing Authority
From the very start, you’ll dive into life-changing skills. In just two hours, you'll master The Thought Funnel, a technique that allows you to shape any conversation and influence what others are thinking within seven seconds. This is your gateway into a new level of conversational power, one you’ll use throughout the course—and for life.
Next, you’ll unlock the Rapid-Theta Method, a groundbreaking tool that shifts the brain into a state where anything is possible. With the help of a simple, battery-powered device, you’ll supercharge this method to make it ten times more powerful. As you progress, the focus turns to Authority Mastery —your roadmap to gaining unstoppable social and conversational authority. By the end of the day, you'll have a near-complete blueprint to command respect and influence in any interaction.
Day TWO
Deep Influence
Get ready for the Crossfade Protocol, one of the most rapid and effective persuasion methods ever developed. It rewrites thoughts, alters behavior, and leverages deep neuroscience to achieve instant results. This day is all about hands-on learning, and you’ll go through Crossfade Bootcamp, where you'll be hypnotized to activate a ‘learning mode’—a technique used by elite operatives to absorb information at incredible speeds.
Linguistics Mastery will take your command of language to new heights. You’ll spend hours honing your ability to use words as weapons, permanently transforming the way you communicate. By the end of the day, you’ll also have mastered Rapid Conversational Hypnosis, enabling you to induce a powerful theta brainwave state in others—within moments. You’ll practice this technique on four different people by the day’s end, sharpening your skills in real-world scenarios.
Day THREE
Mastering the Kaptor System
This day is dedicated to Kaptor, a highly advanced system built for operatives that few ever learn. Think of it as a mental fighter pilot training: you’ll learn tactics that let you think and act at a level most people can’t comprehend. By the end of the day, you’ll be executing Kaptor methods with precision, ready to deploy them in any situation without hesitation.
Day FOUR
The Crucible of Mastery
Day four is where it all comes together. The Crucible is your final proving ground, where you’ll master the depths of every technique you’ve learned. You’ll face The Systems Test, where Chase and his team will guide you through customizing every method—Crossfade, Linguistics, Kaptor—to apply them to your life and goals with surgical precision. You’ll also unlock the final layers of the Kaptor Demo, ensuring you can deploy these techniques anytime, anywhere, with zero reliance on notes.
Finally, you’ll experience The 7-Minute Avery Method, a technique so powerful that it allows you to install an alter-ego in just seven minutes. Whether you’re at a crowded event or in a personal setting, this method will create an immediate and profound transformation in those around you.
By the end of these four days, you will have mastered the art of influence and persuasion at the deepest level imaginable. No conversation, no negotiation, no social dynamic will ever feel out of your control again. This is not just knowledge—this is the power to reshape the world around you.

WHAT IS THE KAPTOR FORMULA?
Kaptor is the epitome of influence formulas, combining the most advanced influence techniques in a particular recipe that creates a type of blank slate is the recipient. While the subject is in this state they can be "programmed" or instructed to do most things without any resistance or reactance occurring. At Black Course you will not only learn the hidden secrets of implementing Kaptor which are not available in Grad School or the OPS Manual but you will leave Black Course with real skills in using the formula including building your own custom example script to achieve the various steps. You will also practice this formula in real time and get to watch the effects of Kaptor working.
WHAT IS THE CROSSFADE FORMULA?
The Crossfade formula is the peak of dissociative influence. Crossfade creates a dissociative state in the subject which is unlike anything you have ever seen before. Within minutes a subject is installed with a new temporary identity which is only vaguely linked to their original self. The newly created temporary identity has the ability to act in ways and do things the original personality would never consider. Just like Kaptor you will not only learn the hidden secrets of Crossfade but build experience and skills to implement it in real time as well as see the effects of crossfade on someone first hand. All while receiving individual feedback from Chase.
