Sl(e)ight side point from RIP and hypnosis in general, but I love Harry's contribution to supplement no. 3, simply because I love the presentational hook given in the coin bending routine. The plot of adrenaline was something I tried in an effect of "straight" magic last night at a dinner party. The roast beef was excellent.

No hypnosis was done but I did rehash my own presentational spin of your Coinvexed 2 patter (I recently acquired the first Coinvexed), but without a pad / imp (that's a standalone piece de resistance, I'll have you know!). I love the premise of it, and did feel like a modern day Eisenheim in The Illusionist in presenting it.

Does "reality is plastic" involve an element of danger? I have never tried it before, and Im not really sure if it would be safe. Just to be sure its completely idiot proof, could say, a 10 year old kid use these techniques with a bit of practice?

Unlikely, I find it difficult to believe that a ten year old could be taken seriously enough to successfully hypnotise someone.

But it's really all just about confidence.

My son was using many of these techniques at 8.

It is not the techniques that are "dangerous". You do have to use your head when making suggestions, and that's the part that may take a bit more thought and "maturity". A subjects safety and well-being must be guarded, assuming you are interested in entertainment....

Anthony - would you concur?

Of course. 100%.

Responsibility is key. That is in the hands of the hypnotist in my opinion. Of course most hypno's would have you believe that personal responsibility remains with the subject.
