I must say I do agree with Mr Lewis here. If you think of it like a magic trick, you must get over the nerves of "messing up" by having all the words down to a pat. This way your confidence can shine and ensure a better show. Everything he said has some level of truth to it.

My first attempt at (formal) hypnosis went similar. I was in class and had been talking about it long enough they asked for a demonstration. Mind you, I never claimed I was any sort of "master", or even that I had much experience. I just let whatever was assumed to be assumed. I went for it and did what I knew and took the attitude "If it works, I already learned. If it doesn't, I will learn more, during and after."

If you do not feel that you have the steel to get up and just do it without a second of questioning yourself, wait until you do.

Anyway, I wasn't really too interested in buying your course Mr Lewis. I wanted to look it over and read about it. Nothing personal, I have just studied long enough and read countless titles that I do not wish to spend money on the subject right now.

If you wish to read about my course there are ways you can do so. Seek and ye shall find.

If you are worried about something not working Kentonism has a brilliant act which you should have virtually no fear in performing. I have read that Act of Imagination is pretty good too.

Yes, I have Act of Imagination and I think it is a brilliant way to build on Kentonism and Telepathy In Action. It takes both principles and pushes them further to new levels.

Well then good luck man. You are doomed.
I am one intelectually deprive person who's actually working for your future, as I work for Cancer Research UK... Enjoy your last years, man.

mark lewis wrote: It is the numbered person who is attempting to ignore me that is the numbered person I was referring to

Well, you mentionned a 26 years old. That's my age. I found it confusing. Although, you could notice my will to answer your questions and to respond to your futile comments...

mark lewis wrote:Furthermore he has wrongly assumed that I belong to a class of humanity known as "English people". He is incorrect. I am not English.

Well, no location is mentionned next to your name my friend. Therefore impossible to know...
However, the very articulate way you express yourself lead me to think you were English.

mark lewis wrote: Still we all make mistakes. I rather think the young man's mother certainly made one.

Well, would you please leave my mum out of that. That is childish, and is kind of ridiculing you. It makes people feel like you are running out of inspiration. That is poor. I am actually disappointed in you. I was expecting something good out of ya.
You left me disappointed.
tut tut tut. You must try again my friend. Harder.

anyone else feel this thread is unravelling downhill somewhat?

like a badly thrown yo-yo...

i think we peaked maybe a dozen posts back...

I'll say it again - Hypnosis and Trance States. If you're going to try it you should know why it works.

If Jerome is working for Cancer research we are all doomed. Besides he is a Frenchman who cannot spell and loves his mother. Very continental
behaviour and is not the British way of doing things.

Again I am not English. I am Scottish. England is merely a tiny peninsula jutting off the south coast of Scotland and is a different country entirely. We used to be allies of the French and united in fighting the English. However having to associate with too many of Jerome's ancestors rather put us off the idea and we abandoned the alliance.

I agree that this thread is beginning to unravel. I have therefore decided to ignore the continental personage on the grounds that he cannot spell and he speaks with a funny accent. Besides he has tattoos all over him of which I get a psychic vibe his mother whom he loves so dearly does not approve. I can't say I blame her.

I may give more advice on hypnosis or I may not. We shall have to see what mood I am in. Interestingly enough the amazing Kreskin states in him latest book that all stage hypnotists in France use stooges.

That at least should make it a little easier for Jerome to perform anyway.

But then again, the scots also worked alongside the english during the Highland Clearings...stabbing to the sides rather than to the front seemed to be the answer, oh and the cold hard cash...

anyway, it seems in general, despite regionalised bating, that the answer to the original topic is:

do a search for local stage hypnotism course if they exist
study extensively Bandler and others suggested
and/or buy milton erikson/kenton knepper material
buy the Reverend's course
mixture of all of the above

does that cover it? why yes...yes it does...

Do not fear, this will be my last post answering to Mark.

yeah I thought I mentionned that earlier.

Well, maybe I can't spell, but to be honest, I don't think I am the worst on this forum. Also, yes I love my mummy, and I guess yours must have abandonned you at an early age for you not to love her. Seeing what you became, well, I can't blame her.

mark lewis wrote: Again I am not English. I am Scottish.

Lovely country Scotland. Pitty that we get the worst of this country on this board.

yawn yawn. That's cheap.

Shouldn't you say "on the ground that I am boring most of people who read my pointless and not-that-funny insults / jokes".
I know, I have been posting too, but I was merely answering your "teasing" lines.
Excuse me, but you mentionned a "funny" accent; aren't you from Scotland???

mark lewis wrote:Besides he has tattoos all over him of which I get a psychic vibe his mother whom he loves so dearly does not approve.

ha ha. Spot on.

mark lewis wrote:I may give more advice on hypnosis or I may not. We shall have to see what mood I am in.

Sounds like you're "the s*** (poop)" in hypnosis, but I have trouble in believing that after your rather childish / pointless posts in this thread. Also, you seem like you have a premadonna behaviour when it comes to your moods...
Again, people believe what they want.
I heard people mentionning David Blaine as the best magician ever, on this forum, so... if they wanna believe you're that hot at hypnosis...

I do not do hypnosis, but thanks for the quote, I know where to go now.
And by the way, thanks for ignoring that last post.
Have a good life.

I'm saddened to see the first flame war on this forum since I joined earlier in the year. I see a lot of flaming on other forums but this community, until now, seemed to rise above such things. Take it off list if you must abuse each other, guys.

And by the way, Mark, I think that insulting England is uncalled for and well out of order.

I took it as a joke. I find Mark rather virulent, to be honest. I am very peaceful, and I got caught in the game... But Mark's been rather offensive... Again, I don't care.
Sorry to make you feel worried YP...

Think all the banter has died a most horrible death but thanks for all the advice! Just moved into my new flat, so ill settle down and pick me up one or two of the suggested in a week or so.

Mark has a character which he uses on the forums, sometimes people take him too serious, he takes a bit of getting used to.

I await an 'insult' from Mr lewis

Jerome tells us that he now knows where to go. How fortunate. I was about to tell him myself.

However I see now that we have been joined by a Yorkshire Pudding. I must inform him that I do not recall insulting the English on this forum. I was merely making a geographical remark concerning it's location. I am innocence personified. Besides people from Scotland insult the English all the time. Go up there and see if you don't believe me.

No. I never insult the English. They are not French after all. However I have indeed insulted people from Yorkshire my entire life. They are the most dreaded people who come to Blackpool and every vendor in the town hates the sight of them on account of the fact they never spend any money. Furthermore it is generally conceded among the local Blackpool populace that Yorkshire people are not the brightest sparks on the planet. They would definitely rate as the least intelligent of the awful species known as Blackpool holidaymakers.

Please be aware that I personally am not saying the above. I am merely quoting things I have heard around Blackpool. I am known for my tact and diplomacy and of course am not the sort to stir up trouble for amusement.
