Some cracking feedback on the book / performances.

Still studying the book and yet to try it in the real world yet - very impressed with the results from reading the reviews though.

Just hope I can accomplish half of what some people have done

My copy arrived today! Now all I have to do is study it!!!

to put in perspective how good this book is, I have been asked on more than one occasion by seperate people to put on stage shows in the clubs that they own, obviously convinced that I am an experienced hypnotist having done this for years.

That just shows how good this book is, if it makes me look like a pro after but a few months

Ok so having got the book on Friday I did my first bona fide hypnotic induction last night on my wife. The night before I was showing her the set piece exercises and on the third one her arm was shaking so much as she tried to bend it I though to myself that I might just as well tell her to sleep at this point so I pushed her arm down and pulled her head forward as I instructed her to sleep. After a few moments deepening I woke her up then went straight into the handshake and put her under again. As I hadn't really intended to hypnotise her I didn't really know where to go with it so I just put a post hypnotic suggestion in that in future when I put my hand on her shoulder and told her to sleep she would.

So, last night, I tell her I want to hypnotise her again so I start the 'rehearsal' and on the fourth time she starts to laugh and apologises for doing so. I told her that it's fine to laugh, hypnosis can be a funny thing to experience. On the fifth time her arm went cataleptic so I told her to sleep. I then gave her the super suggestion and thought to myself 'it's now or never' and this is what happened:

Firstly I told her that when she wakes up she'll be extremely thirsty and will be in desperate need of a glass of water, the only problem being is that her legs will be stuck to the settee and she will be unable to get up. The more she tries to get up the thirstier she will become and the thirstier she becomes the more she'll be stuck. Then I woke her up......

I asked her if she was ok and she said she was fine so I turned towards the TV thinking to myself 'damn it, this hasn't worked'. A few seconds later however and I hear my wife smacking her lips like you do when your mouth is bone dry. I asked her if she was thirsty and she said that she was so I suggested that she might like to get herself a glass of water. She tried......

Realising that I'd just successfully hypnotised my first vict.....subject, I then told her that she was a wine conusor (spelling?) and that I was about to let her taste a really expensive glass of white wine and she will tell me about the taste and bouquet. I fetched her a wine glass full of water. She asked me why I had bought white wine (we both prefer red) and why such an expensive one. I didn't really expect her to ask that, but in hindsight, it was absolutely what she would have asked had she not have been hypnotised. I can't remember what feeble excuse I gave for having such an expensive wine but she seemed to take it. I then asked her how it tasted and then came my next shock (and my first lesson in 'wording'), she said it tasted 'peaty' and was rather unpleasant. I asked her what it smelt like and she said 'mud'! I was expecting her to say that it was a fantastic glass of wine because in my mind expensive=great. The fact that I didn't suggest to her that it was the best glass of wine she'd ever taste meant that she made her own mind up about that. I took the glass away and returned it a second later telling her that I'd thrown the disgusting wine out and she could wash away the taste with a glass of water, which she did.

Next I got her to forget the number 4. Quite amusing. She couldn't work out why she could count up to eleven on her hands even though she knew she only had ten fingers.

Lastly I told her she wouldn't remember any of the above when I woke her up.

I asked her a few minutes afterwards what she remembered and she did have a hazy recollection of tasting the wine but couldn't remember much else. As I told her about what we'd done she seemed to remember it but couldn't remember specific things that she'd said (from a woman that in an argument can remember with crystal clarity ever single thing I've ever said/done).

I've done some waking hypnosis with my wife in the past and have had success sticking her hands/feet to things so I was quite confident that I'd be able to put her into hypnosis but for a first attempt at the full monty (Hmm.....that's an idea) I am over the moon that it was sooo successful.

The book it fantastic, the video that accompanied it was fantastic, the speed with which it was delivered and the quick responses when emailing Anthony have all be OOTW

Christmas, it would appear, has come early!

*sniff*

One of the proudest reviews I've done

*sniff*

Just think...suggest her a bottle of water is gorgeous red wine and you have a very cheap christmas on your hands

*sniff*

I'm so happy!

*cries*

Sceptical shmeptical. I don't mean to pick either of you out personally but I am definitely with Chris on this one! This is gold.

I bought the book on Friday and today (Tuesday) have put a colleague, my second subject (100% success so far), fully under. He experienced a cataleptic arm, uncontrollable fits of laughter, the inability to recognise the number 4 and best of all.....from lunchtime today until he left work at 4:30pm whenever I (and only I) clapped my hands twice he forgot his name until I or any of my colleagues told him what it was at which point he instantly remembered. Funnily enough our manager has the same name so when I pointed at him and said who is he, he quickly replied 'Ian'. When I then said 'and your name is?' he said 'It's something like Alan but that's not quite right'. When I asked him if he had been hypnotised he replied 'No, I felt quite relaxed but I wouldn't say I was hypnotised'. After pointing out that he couldn't remember the name he has been called for the last 30 odd years he conceded that perhaps he was just a little bit under. Best £25 (book and dvd incl p+p) I think I'll ever spend.

Hmmm......am starting to think that the book has subliminal messaging insisting that I help increase sales of it.

Strangely, the person who I wrote about (P) noticed that he would black out whenever I showed him the tip of my index finger. He managed to put two and two together, so now my instant induction no longer works on him. Weird...

Ok, christmas drinks at the pub tonight. Tried the set piece with one guy and knew that it wasn't going to work when I didn't get a good response from the magnetic hands. Zapped another colleague completely straight after though. Best yet. Not only got him to forget his name and the number 4, but also stuck his drink to the table so he was unable to lift it. When he could lift it I got him more and more drunk with each sip (it was orange and lemonade). He was then convinced there was a rhino (blatant plagiarism from Derren's 'Tricks of the mind') at the other end of the bar. The rhino turned into a pole dancer who was giving him the come on and finally he had an org*** (the very best) each time I clapped my hands........and I do love to clap along to 'The White Stripes'. I had to stop for fear of people wetting themselves (in more ways than one).

So far my stats are 3 successes out of 4. damn that feels good.

I've always been nervous about male orga......just in case....

well, there is a more obvious reaction with guys - too nervous to try it

What's wrong with the word orgasm. Grow up.

I'm a thorough convert, believe me. It sounded too good to be true, although it wasn't. It was everything Chris said and more

Have just ordered this and I wait with anticipation. Mr Jacquin, am I right in thinking there is some supplemental material for mentalists? To be frank, I can't be arsed to trawl through sixteen pages of posts to find out!


EDITJust checked my email to find an email from Mr Jacquin, so my question can be ignored, I think. (Why I didn't just delete the question I don't know, some strange psychological process at work?)

Love the Rhino story strep.

If you are going to do things like give people an orgasm and do not want things to get too messy then it is simple give them a suggestion that will not actually shoot their load. It is the same in the therapy room when you give someone an aversion. You will feel sick but will not actually be sick saves on carpet cleaning costs. These kind of little limiting suggestions are also very useful for health and safety. If you have people moving around you can limit them to a particular area, if you are going to make them angry you can ensure they wil not hit people, if they are doing some silly movement, dancing etc you can ensure they do not fall over or hurt themselves.

I find such suggestions encourage them to go to the brink (but no further)anyway.

Yes the supplements are available and will remain available. Just let me know when your book arrives and I will email them to you.

Keep the stories and questions coming.

Happy Christmas

Anthony

PS I have a little article coming up in magic seen this month and a review of the book next month.

PPS Hit the streets with Manchurian Techniques - Hypnotism for Magicians on 17th/18th - email me for details.

Have you guys had any problems with bringing someone out and the subject remembering everything they did before being put under? Have they been fine and "normal" after it?

I got the book early (was ment to be christmas gift!) have read it a few times and watched the video and it is a fantastic read, the video will really help me, I just need to get the guts to try this out

really excited about this, I really am getting it into my head that i could hypnotise people
