Ah... my fault. I used the email on your profile. I have re-sent it to the correct address.

Ta!

After taking a good part of the morning to read this entire thread, I've been swayed into purchasing the book as well. As with some of the other people that have posted, I'm skeptical about how easy it appears to be to hypnotise someone, but from the reviews everyone has given, it sounds like the book really works.

I've always been interested in hypnosis, but have never really read much on it. I'm excited to read the book and possibly try some of the stuff out.

If/when I ever try anything out on someone and am successful, I'll be sure to post.

Yes this thread and speaking to Ant on a different thread got me to buy the book.

If you want to understand hypnosis you need other books. If you want down and dirty quick hypnosis the scripts provided and methodology is solid.

I'm still trying to convince him to do his classes in the US so I can see it first hand but his video's are excellent source material as well.

Heya Everyone, This is my first post in here so greetings to everyone.

I got this book on Tuesday and have been glued to it ever since. I've managed to read it through twice and I'm currently at the stage where I'm trying to get the scripts spot on. I've read Browns "Tricks of the Mind" and have researched on the internet ect. ect. I tihnk the book is really great so if anyone is still thinking about buying it, Give it a try and it will teach you alot about how to induce hypnosis. I now come to everyone for help ....

Unexpectidly today I had my first hypnosis oppertunity. I Have presented myself as "The Hypnotist" to my work mate, made up some stuff about "gigging" and doing a show and that i did lots of hypnosis on the street. I then went on to tell him what i could do "Hands stuck to glass" "Forgetting Names" ect. He seemed really keen and wanted to be hypnotised so I said yes i could and i could do it now. We were outside, about 12 noon, on the side of a busy street. I sucesfully managed with the magnetic fingers (Albeit a bit delayed) and then Magnetic palms worked brilliantly. I then moved onto "Stiff Arm" which seemed to work however afterwards he stated "I could probablly have moved my arm". After "Stiff Arm" i told him to relax deeper and deeper and sleep ect. ect. I could tell he wasnt hypnotised or close at all. He seemed very VERY concious of everything around him. I decided to leave it and made up that it wouldnt work because he was too uneasy about being in public. I said we could do it in a less public place another time but that "It WILL definatly work, you are a brilliant subject". Left it and we carried on. I just wanted peoples advice on this. Why is it that he didnt seem to be able to go further than the "Set-up's"..Am pretty ceratin and induction wouldnt have worked. Any tips guys ?

Cheers,
Sam

Well considering one of the main things he tries to get across through the book is your own confidence I'd say that might have been the killer. If you're confident that you can do it, then you'll find it just seems to work.

If a subject seems aware you can make that part of the script, saying something like:

'You will remain entirely aware of your surroundings, entering a state of hyper-awareness'

Or something similar. Just give it space and make sure they take it seriously, and most important of all - be confident!

Just got this a couple of weeks ago, fantastic book Anthony, I have tried out the rapid handshake once unsucessfully but the set pieces are working fine just a bit more practise I think and maybe another read.

I just had an idea for practising for anyone who has Paul Brooks thought reader card when I perform the thought reader i usually use two specs reading each others mind. What i do i always put the specs in a calming situation by closing there eyes putting there hand to there head and getting them to count from 5 down to 1 just before the revalation. I do this has a sort of time delay to try to make them forget I was using a card at all. During this part of the routine I can actually try to practise without any fear of looking like a plum or any fear of failure because I wasnt intending to hynotise them just put them in a relaxed state. So if you have a mental block stopping you from actually attempting hypnosis maybe try something like this just make sure the spectator is aware your are putting them in a relaxed state.

Cheers Mate. I tihnk i might add that one into the script. Also I was really confident that I Could do it before i went into the routine. I suppose my confidence kind of dropped when he didnt seem to be "going under". However, the experience has definatly upped my confidence as far as the set up's. They worked fantastically. Guna read the book once more this week and hopefully be put into a situation which is better than the first. Am looking for a party of some kind with a few people who are keen to try it. Guna take a few bits of my mentalism routine along aswell to lure them in

Also thanks for that Idea Lindz. I have the "thought transmitter" so may develop that into a pre-hypnosis routine.

Thanks guys n Gals,
Sam

If you have Proper Mental III you'll find my hypno coin bending routine on it. It's very good, I promise!!! It's my most performed routine. I'm also on the Manchurian DVD performing it as well so you can see me use it and the reaction it gets when that is released.

you got any example videos floating about online Harry ? I dont have either of those DVD's

Proper mental III is a pdf. If you don't have it email Ant and he'll send them out to you. I will have the clip up in my clip reel once I get it.

Hi Everyone,
Just an update on the old Hypnosis front. Developments yesterday and maged to have a second go. Started off with two people and tried magnetic fingers, worked with a man but not with a woman so went onto Magnetic palms with the man... worked ok but he wasnt into it and kept giggling so i said "His concious mind was blocking his unconcious mind from opening up". The girl wanted another go so i agreed and went streight onto Magnetic palms which worked perfectly, I used magnetic palms as an induction and had her "Sleeping, relaxing" at the end of it. Deepened the trance and held her arm out in front, made it stiff then suggested that the weight of ten busses was pressing down on top of it and the more it went down the heavier it got and the depper and deeper into hypnosis she would go. Then i went onto super suggestion and started some suggestions. The first being that her hand was now stuck to the bed with super glue.... worked a treat and she couldnt move it, looking rather confused and bemused. Then made her forget her name which was fantastic, worked brilliantly. Then put her back under and woke her up. INterstingly, for a while she was responding to rapid inductions but then we left it half an hour and i did the handshake induction however this didnt work.... you reckon i need to start from the beginning again after it has had time to wear off ?

A nice easy one for my first sucess but it felt brilliant. Any ideas on how i can take this further ?

Many regards,
Sam

Wow, this book certainly seems good by the reviews it's gotten here.

Will it be of use for non-english speaking people as well, or is it based on very spesific (english) scripts?

All instructions and scripts are written in English, using the type of "hypnotic" language you would expect from this work (some examples of the language are on some of Ant's video examples on Youtube). There are photographs to help you through some excersises but these really only act as an aid to the text. Your English will need to be pretty good to follow most of the book, the language is probablly not for beginners (Though dont quote me because am not an expert). I wouldnt think there would be much of a problem translating into a different language so long as your translation skills are good enough. Thats my view but as i say am not an expert on that kind of thing

Hello Tiram.
I can tell you honestly that this book gives you all the elements and structure for hypnosis. Then it is very simple for you to translate the words you want to use into Norwegian and go from there.

Don't get too hung up on the words perse. The important thing is communicating directly to the unconscience. This happens when you intently envision what you want to happen.

Their subconscious picks up on your subconscious signals. If you have rapport then it will work. The trick is having rapport which is one area that RIP does not cover.

Don't get me wrong there are definitely points where you have to focus on what you say and how you say it. However those are more like fine tuning than the actual meat of the process.

I don't want to comment to much further as its Ant's book however confidence, rapport, and speed. These are the elements to rapid inductions.
