  • This is quite possibly one of the best overt hypnosis tutorials on YT. It points out that you have to tell the subject 'what you want them to do'. A lot of teachers bypass this critical point, and make it look like an arm-pull or a handshake will automatically put the subject into a trance. It won't unless 'they know' what is expected of them.

  • @BillyFeynman Thanx... that is why my traiing dvd's and books are bestsellers- I actually try to TEACH

  • Garbage. It discredits something that can actually be quite powerful (hypnosis).

  • Explaining hypnosis discredits it? Expectancy is the foundation of all suggestive therapy. That does not invalidate it, it simply identifies it. Expectancy has been written about by Elman, Bandler and every clinical hypnotist who has written a book on the subject. Hypnosis is not magic, and explaining various aspects of hypnosis never discredits it but rather takes thy mystery away.

  • Dude, the video was filmed at a weekend hypnosis class. the comment was from someone who was in class....

  • @ClinicalHypnosis who is "we"? and didn't John do on you?

  • @clealuira i have an idea....FUCK YOU!!! this is real because i have seen it done, live, with even my friends hypnotized on stage!!! jealous!!! wanker

  • So true Rich.

  • Meh. Nice enough

  • she wasn't actually hypnotized there, he was just explaining how to do that style of induction

  • I dont mean to sound obnoxious but this video seems kinda woo woo. I mean it really doesn't seem she was in any sort of trance at all really. And when she stretched out she was completely alert and i just don't see the altered state. It would seem that she was demonstration social compliance rather than anything else. But again, maybe i missed something. lol.
