Personal experience and observation with others. Of course your mileage may very. I have personally used subliminal audio tapes and know that they do have an effect beyond placebo. Further, it is a known fact that music containing subliminal messages (for shoplifting reduction) is used in malls for example, and have been shown to have an effect. I have personal experience with subliminal audio and have seen it work on others as well. I doubt that anyone could be manipulated to do anything that they were not pre-disposed to do in the first place after being subjected to subliminal messaging, but that doesn't mean that people aren't sensitive to the technique. I didn't make the initial assertion that it didn't work, I suggest asking that person to go locate the sources to prove that claim first.
