Anthony is always quick to reply to emails too!
I emailed him half an hour ago and have a very thorough reply sitting in my inbox!

Christ almighty, this customer service they speak of is certainly true. 15 minutes between question & answer. Thanks for that. I have to try & put it out of my mind now until next month when i'll have the time to give it the study it deserves. Rest assured i'll be watching this thread closly & emailing you for the extras once i've ordered too.

Cheers again,

Russ

Quality website Russ. Shame we did not run into each other at Blackpool. There was plenty of hypnosis kicking off in the Ruskin basement.

Cheers, if i'd have known i'd have been there (although the girlfriend might not).

Can I be the first to say that when performing on the street you do remind me (no offence meant) of Paul Whitehouse from the Fast Show - "A little bit whey, a little bit woah, I'm a geezer."

Love it.

Just seen Magicbox are selling the book for £24.99 free postage & the cd combo for £37, as good as they are at delivery times, I think i'd still buy it direct after the praise in this thread, might even get a cheeky signature too.

It is just a character. I am a proper Hugh Grant type really :)

Either way of you order let me know and I will email the supplements to the book.

One for the 'Proper Mental' people.

This is a friend of mine Bob Burns (Bobser from the cafe) doing a fine job of mind reading on radio.

I'm very interessted in this book, especially after reading all the excellent reviews ... It would fit in very well with my routine.

One question tho ... I have my public liability insurance through equity and there is a clause in it that means it doesn't cover hypnosis (and also strangely enough clown cars!! who knew they were so dangerous!) ... any ideas where I can get public liability ins that covers hypnosis and how much it is likely to cost??

Hi Chandler,

Google "Equity Hypnosis Insurance" and you will hopefully find the first result is a .doc relating to how you can for a premium get stage hypnosis insurance through Equity.

"Equity has formed the Equity Stage Hypnotist Supervision Panel (The Panel) with the intention of establishing an Equity Register of Stage Hypnotists (ERSH) and a recognised set of standards, conduct and ethics for its members.

The purpose of The Panel is to oversee ERSH and to ensure the compliance of its Code...."

Hope that helps.

Ok, I'm 24 pages in after a speedy delivery & excellent service by Anthony. It's certainly an interesting reed & I haven't even got into the nitty gritty yet, just starting on Catalepsy. I know i'll be re-reading it a few times before trying anything & also watching the cd too but just wanted to share & concur with the comments about customer service before diving back into the book & viewing the cd.

Like a car only easier to control.
If you mess about with it then you could potentially be putting someone in danger (although that may be a fairly alarmist point of view).
Play it sensibly with a good dash of Common Sense and it's safe.
