I've been reading Neil Strauss' book The Game recently and hearing all the stories about the master seductions. I've also researched a lot of thier philosophies and methods, reading e-books and watching DVDs of seminars, etc. I am eager to absorb everything I can.
Although I agree that NLP is a legitimate strategy for self-improvement (I have used it's techniques on many occasions myself), I'm just not sold on it being used in the seduction and dating world. Surely the guys these masters teach to pick-up women (not to mention the masters themselves) are not very good looking guys. If they were reasonably good looking guys, then they would not require all of these NLP-style mind tricks. The skill in seduction is merely having the confidence to approach a girl and start speaking to her. These guys have low self-esteem and so they practice these techniques and patterns to feel comfortable (as if they have some secret recipe or invisible backer) when they make approaches.
I think the idea is simply that they are given a new-found confidence to approach women because they have been given all these patterns and routines to use. This is a perfectly viable way to encourage these guys to make approaches in the first place, so I certainly don't disagree with guys like Ross Jeffries' methods in harboring this new confidence in these men.
The NLP tricks are great talking points with a woman and a way to bridge that gap between the spotting of the beautiful woman and the bedding of her. There's no mind-**** occurring in most cases, simply confidence being radiated successfully by the man. If NLP patterns are what is needed to give the men that confidence, then it's a legitimate form of field technique.
