I paused @ 1:02. Oh yea take it off girl!!

[defiantFINAO]

Absolutely fascinating



[BrizyComics]

I find your reply comments here even more interesting than your promotional video, Marc. You are a fine example of how a stage entertainer can still be an ethical hypnotist who maintains certin standards even with adult-oriented programs. Keep up the good work, sir!

[Hypnomentocardo]

Talk about a fixation induction. I'll stare at those ladies as long as you want.

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 I figure a couple of ways. 1.) It's called the Weiner Shack. 2.)The questions were leading and had double meanings. 3.) Just cause they are hypnotized some people will still consciously see the weiner guy, but their subconscious will not allow them to 'consciously register it'. So it may still provide an underlying suggestion of his presence. With a combination of the three, there was plenty of 'suggestive direction' which is why I did not like the routine.

[philbio66]

@HypnotistMarcSavard

OK. I guess I was wondering more how they picked up on the sexual innuendos while in trance since the “weiner guy” was invisible to them. Were the double meanings that obvious to them even if they could see the “weiner guy”?

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 I believe it has everything to do with their natural personality and tendencies. Just as if you were to put 10 friends of yours in a room and you answer a question and say something like "Just wait, I'm coming" and 3 or 4 of them will have some off-color remark.

[philbio66]

@HypnotistMarcSavard

Good for you. Why do you think some subjects answers were straight forward and others picked up on the double entendres and gave answers with sexual overtones?

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 ...compromising situation. They could answer however they wanted, some answered straight laced, others very sexual cause their minds and personalities played into it. But they did not have the choice of getting away from the half naked guy "invisibly" in the window. Didn't sit well with me. I over ruled the producer's office and took it out.

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 Because the concept was they were at a drive through of the Weiner Shack. I played the role of the employee on the speaker. They ordered and bantered back and forth. I asked stupid questions that had double meanings.  They answered whatever they wanted. Sometimes funny, sometimes not. The part that I was not ok with, was the suggestion was that the wiener shack guy was 'invisible' to them. They ordered from the microphone. I didn't think it was fair to put them in that...

[philbio66]

@HypnotistMarcSavard

That doesn't make sense. if was an indirect suggestion how could it not be open to their interptretaion and why couldn't they just refuse the suggestion? Since you no longer use it in you your show could you tell me what the suggestion was?

[philbio66]

@HypnotistMarcSavard

I agree. There are people in all profesions who are immoral and unethical. I also disappriove of their behaviour.

[philbio66]

@HypnotistMarcSavard

Marc, I never said ALL deep trance and somnambulistic subjects can't refuse suggestions. I said there will always be subjects who won't be able to refuse suggestions.

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 ...responsible. NOT all school teachers, priests, police officers have moral fortitude. Maybe we as humans have the tendency to lean towards the "dark side" more than we should as a whole?

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 Not true. In the past 17 years of me doing hypnosis, almost every routine I have performed has had someone at some time refuse the suggestion completely. Even the deepest somnabulists. Could I have pressed the issue and reworded the suggestion to get the desired result? Yes. That is where the moral issues of the hypnotist come in. Sad part? Some hypnotists have more morals and respect that others. This is the true issue. But, that happens in life. Not all Doctors are morally

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 No. Not saying that at all. I didn't like it because even though there were no direct suggestions, all indirect, I still felt that the routine was entrapping to the volunteers and gave no room for their interpretation or a way out for them. So, I pulled it out of the show. I never heard of anyone having a problem with it, but that didn't matter, cause I did have a problem with it. That's why it is no longer in the show and hasn't been for over 3 years.

[philbio66]

@HypnotistMarcSavard

It is speculation but I'm sure you know that everyone who volunteers isn't doing so because they want to perform ridiculous acts. There are people who think hypnosis is fake or that they can't be hypnotized or they will be able to control. The bottom line is that there are always deep trance and somnambulistic subjectys who won't be able to refuse suggestions.

[philbio66]

@HypnotistMarcSavard

So are you saying that the suggestion was not indirect and generalize for the "weiner shack" skit? You're 100% positive none of women had a problem with it after coming out of trance?

[philbio66]

@HypnotistMarcSavard

I understand. No worries.

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 of course not! I love talking hypnosis. It was my daughter's birthday this past weekend and we took 3 whole days to build a backyard swing set that she received as a gift. I apologize that it has taken me long to respond. I do have some committments outside of chatting on YouTube. ;-) I'm sure you understand?

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 I hated that routine, cause it was not mine. Not my idea, the producer loved it, came up with it, I didn't think it was funny at all and did feel it was not a fair situation for the volunteer for all the same reasons we have previously discussed. I did it for 2 weeks as per his request, then removed it from the show.

[HypnotistMarcSavard]

@philbio66 Taken out of context of the show, the environment, and the reason why everyone is there, of course. But I think you are missing the point of WHY the people come to the show. To either watch, or participate in these exact ridiculous scenarios. You absolutely need to come and see the show for yourself and then we can have discussions about the exact same show, same people, same suggestions, everything else we discuss here is speculation. Right?

[philbio66]

It seems like you were being evasive when it came to my questions pertaining to state of trance and a subjects inability to refuse a suggestion. Do you not want to talk about hypnosis anymore?

[philbio66]

@HypnotistMarcSavard

I'm not saying it applies to you or all hypnotists but isn't manipulation key to certain skits like getting a person to eat an onion believing it's an apple. Don't some hypnotitsts get people to accept certain suggestions by creating a need or desire to carry out the sugestion?
