Enjoyed the inductions. There are a number of different Erickson handshake inductions I've heard him describe or seen him demonstrate - 1. Ambiguous touch induction - going in for the handshake then ambiguously releasing whilst talking (and gazing through) with the subject as he slowly taps the hand with his fingers and releases the hand so gently the client doesn't notice the point he has let go and their arm is cataleptic. 2. Arm catalepsy version where he introduces himself, normally a little way into the interaction as if it is an afterthought of something he forgot to do, as the hands are about to meet he takes the hand gently with the other hand and ignores the handshake so that the subject ignores the handshake, and slides his hand out gently. I love the video where he does this to a volunteer subject, asks her if she is hypnotised, she responds with 'I don't think so, I don't feel hypnotised', he replies saying her words back to her, and then follows up with 'so do you normally keep your arm up in the air like that' and then directs her attention to her arm and notices following the handshake it is still in the air. I've known some sales people who like this specific version. 3. In a paper Erickson wrote about pattern interrupt inductions he described a man heckling from the audience about hypnosis is all rubbish and how Erickson couldn't hypnotise him. Erickson agrees and gradually encourages the man to come up on stage to 'prove it'. As the man paces across the stage towards Erickson, he paces towards the man, puts his arm out as if to shake hands, the man does the same, just as the hands are about to meet Erickson drops to one knee quickly not completing the handshake, looks up at the man and says 'that's right, and you can continue going all the way deeply and comfortably into hypnosis' (or a similar sentence, I'm not reading the article at this moment) and the man drops deeply into hypnosis standing there on stage. His main use for the induction outside of demonstrations was with 'resistant' clients where he would 'try' to do the therapy, would fail, would then see them out of his office, at this point they would assume he has failed and therapy is over, just as they left his office he would say 'thank you for coming in' and put his arm out, do a handshake induction, before walking them back into his office and doing the therapy now he has got their resistance out the way... There are more descriptions in his dozens of hours of video footage, audio lectures and thousands of pages of articles etc, but these are probably the main ones. I like them (mainly for demonstrations) because they are very quick and not as 'shocking' as other rapid inductions...
I appreciate how you teach that the handshake interrupt does not have to be a shock induction and needs to be pre-framed to be most effective. Most importantly, it can be done in a gentle way. Well done, James!
I think that was an excellent spin on an often misunderstood induction. the clarification was brilliant, thanks!

I think it is imortant to share: 1 ) In general don't get into hypnotizing friends and family. Not that it can't be done but unless you are confident and capable you are much better off working with other budding hypnotist. 2) There are many depths of trances. Don't be intimidated by the concept of inducing a trance. People are in various levels of trance all day long. Explain to potential subjects that they are in a trance when watching a movie, reading a good book etc. The challenge is in the next step: deepening the level. All hypnosis is SELF HYPNOSIS. Things is HUGE. If you are really interested start with self hypnosis so you know what you are trying to accomplish with another person. Next , join a group or attend a seminar so you can practice on other willing, serious individuals with similar goals. Bottom line: All hypnosis is self hypnosis. We all go in and out of trances continuously. Not the Dracula movie myth.... I do this professionally and assure you it isn't Rocket Science but it definetly requires practice of what you learn and the confidence to instruct others. Hope this helps!
Goodness! Thank you for that link to this video sir. This is so much nicer and more pleasant than other videos I've seen. Pretty much all of them intact. Thank you for putting so much emphasis on it not being based in shock or forceful.
'Where did Erickson do the handshake induction'? In the halls, at lunch, anywhere. The contact he was able to use was normal social interactions consisting of well defined sets of expected behaviors. People did not expect to be hypnotized, they just were.
Hi Carlo. I don't really know much about those guys work, but obviously, there are many people who have influenced me in my style and approach to hypnosis. If you google 'influences on hypnosis without trance' you will be able to find out more.
Thank you for all your videos! It's really amazing. I'm proud to say that i will be in the first promotion of NLP professionals and couching here in Argentina because now it's a 3 years career, recognized in our education system. Now we are starting to see hypnosis and you'll be our refference since now ;) You should make a congress here!
Hi Gennaro. I would say EVERYONE is ALWAYS in a constantly altering state of mind... the question with regard to hypnosis is: 'how and which way to steer it?' This chap was indeed a quite capable 'hypnotic subject' :)
I learned the technique from Bandler and Grinder. Helped a friend in Santa Fe win $24.000 on a slot machine at a casino about 15 miles from Santa Fe. When I was going thru NLP TRAINING 34 years ago, one of the doctors from a very famous college brought six MD'S from the college, they were lined up, I went to each one did the induction, they asked when is it going to happen, I said try to lower your arm, they couldn't, then I walked over and touched each one's arm and they were able to so. To make a long story short, IT WORKS,
Thank you very much for explaining! This handshake is the one I've been interested in and I can feel how it works. Especially thanks for explaining about the shock induction, I definitely don't want to do do shock inductions, I want the victim to be relaxed all the time
Hi Haris. Great advice! On the Rapid Induction Rituals DVD's I talk a lot about the pros and cons of using the 'sleep' command. Generally, I don't use it... and when I do I am very specific in 'managing away' it's shortcomings.
DB oooozes confidence, intent and expectation. That's the main reason it works. Also, DB is now seen as a hypnosis and mind control GOD... and that really helps! Derren could literally fart, and it would put people into a trance!! lol!
CityofAngels There is only one thing that exceeds your bad manners and that is your bad manners. Expertly from my 20 years experience with sales hypnosis James's teaching style is really authentic. Denis Raftis
Hi DJKickstarter. Try having the client focus on the space between the hand and the eyes. As per Dr Les Fehmi's work (The Open Focus Brain) this is highly conducive to drawing the client into 'synchronous alpha'.
Hi mindfreak37172. "I'm 14 and I've been interested in hypnosis, now is it a good idea to try at school" That is a decision you will have to make yourself. (A good idea according to whom? And by what criteria?)
Hi IsrarTaj83. I don't do the Elman version, as it is not an 'induction' I personally like and it don't find it gelling well with my style. But, who knows? Maybe I'll have a change of heart some day!
JamesTrippTV can u do a full tutorial on only handshakes and do it on people...im 16 and im really starting into magic and hypnotism so i really wanna learn every thing i can...
That's a good one, however when I use the spot on the wall I also like to make the client imagine a picture/movie of his/her favorite memory or something positive that fills a lot in the clients life, there is not a handful of ways but thousands all you have to do is use your imagination.
Hi Stoney. I think I mentioned in the vid that this kind of thing tends to work best in situations where the pre-framing is taken care of, like seminars etc, and that it is less useful 'impromptu'. That said, it is not the 'induction' that hypnotises, it is the hypnotist! Also, remember, hypnosis is NOT mind control, it is an influence art and it is imperfect (this is why stage hypnotists are stage hypnotists and not world leaders or super villains... or both :-) )
you could facebook me i guess, if you really get into it i may create a skype account but facebook should be sufficent. private message me your FB name and how ill know your profile.
Hi Uzzi56 There is no right way, other than whichever way works. I advocate people experimenting and trying different methods, getting lots of experience and, ultimately developing flexible skill and understanding. Keep at it and you will keep getting better! J
Hi NoWaiNorway. You could do this to a friend... and you will be as successful as you are! The more you practise, the better you will get. The more you UNDERSTAND hypnosis and what you are doing, the better you will get. Hypnosis is ALWAYS more about skills and understandings than it is about techniques!
Thanks James! The demonstration was great. You seem to have used some subtleties the method, touching the hand at different points etc, can you explain them?
You know if they have been 'hypnotized' if they are responding to the suggestions you give... if those suggestions are leading them into an altered experience.
Really great comment James very funny, I've been using hypnosis in sales for over twenty years and certainly a prospect would run a miracle mile if I tried that on him/her especially. Certainly you have the proper understanding of hypnosis and how it should be taught, extremely well rounded Denis Raftis
Yes breksbruno, that can happen. The trick is to roll with it without fear and awkwardness. Then you can really start to learn and grow :-) Awkwardness doesn't come from the situation, it comes from what you make of it.
Would you prefer your hand or your face first enter trance? I get the idea of the pattern interrupt, but why do we freeze after the initial command? What's the mechanism there? Is it just because staring at your palm suddenly is a freaky experience?
Should i tell my friend im going to attempt to put them in a trance before doing it, or just ask them to shake hands to try a magic trick? Is it hard to make them sleep while standing up? Will they stay standing or drop to the floor?
Hi! Great video! I have a question. I am trying to learn how to hypnotise people using this "hand shake induction" method. However I do not understand how do I know if the person has actually been hypnotised when I do it? I tried it on a friend. I told him I was gonna hypnotise him, and when i said sleep, he closed his eyes. Buy how do I know if he actually got hypnotised or if he was just closing his because that seemed like the right thing to do when I said "sleep". Thank you!
I have no experience in hypnosis whatsoever, could I do this to a friend? The richard bandler pattern interrupt without practise? Or would I need to practise? If so, how?
Interestingly, I am working on self-hypnosis material this week... although 'Self-Hypnosis Without Trance' of course. In the meantime, you may enjoy this self-hypnosis curio: th-cam.com/video/rllgDllb1O8/w-d-xo.html
Your "what not to do" is actually the closest to how Bandler does it, just a hint less abrupt and as he holds your wrist with two fingers he points to a point on your palm and says "look here" - as your palm gets closer to your eyes he plays on you losing focus and tells you to close them as your hand drops.
Heracles Sakalis Very possibly. Bandler has been a driving force in the creation of so much of that is of value Changework/hypnosis-wise. But there is a lot about his facilitation style that is, in my view, not so great. maybe it’s just a matter of taste!
James Tripp - Chaos Wave I'm not judging good or bad, I've seen Bandler do it and I just thought funnily enough, it's not quite as abrupt as your (slightly exaggerated) "how not to do it", but that's the closest one in this video. He comes around close to the subject's left shoulder and points at a point on their right palm, holding the right wrist with two fingers in an Aikido like grip.
Ive been doing magic tricks (mostly card magic) to show friends in school. Id really like getting into hypnosis and i was just wondering if the handshake induction is a good place to start. Its pretty much exactly the type of thing ive been looking for and this video was very clear. Is it possible to do this induction just by watching this video or do i need to start somewhere else? thx in advance for anyone who would respond
+UbererSK It is possible to do this just from copying it, and you may get a result. I recommend watching my 'How To Hypnotise Without Trance' series here on TH-cam to get a bead on some subtleties that will help you with hypnotising in general.
+JamesTrippTV ill watch it. tried this handshake induction and the arm pull shock induction on my family but i feel like its very hard bcos they know me too well and just cant take my practicing seriously if you get what i mean.
wait because my friend wants to get a car for less then it is already and he wants to use NLP Covert hypnosis and the handshake induction to do that will it work
There is a large difference between trance and sleep. A trance may activate similar chemicals,but a trance can happen while you are entirely conscious.
i am a magician and i learned from books and by watching derren brown and i mimicked the way he did it like here watch?v=gJasYOtqNPY , i always want to improve so is this the right way or am i doing something wrong? it didn't worked on everybody of course , but most of the times it does, thank you.
Can you give me tips to make it work? I haven't able to make it work even after many attempts...... I just want to learn hypnosis so badddddd......😥😥😥😥
I tried many times but it does not work with my brothers and parents if I do naaar their hand look they will not fall into a trance ??? What should I do?
In my opinion, you shouldn't even use the name Erickson when discussing these induction methods. There was absolutely nothing shown here even close to Erickson's technique. Saying that his was "a little subtler" is a ridiculous understatement. It was supremely subtle and complex -- on a totally different level. No one these days has the time or inclination to learn about it, let alone do it. It is true that he didn't lift the hand and direct the subject's gaze to it, though. That much you got right.
+CR Green I have studied Erickson's handshake induction from his own words in his books and videos. And even though he uses breadth of trance instead of depth of trance, you can certainly learn it in an afternoon. The basis of what he does is to intentionally make the subject uncomfortable with the handshake, so as to confuse him. It is a pattern interrupt but Erickson is relying on the subject's confusion of it, and not on bypassing the CF like Bandler. For instance, Erickson would begin shaking hands with his patient and at the point he where it would be socially acceptable to let go, he hangs on and doesn't let go until he induces that feeling of awkwardness, then he slides in his commands at that point. Erickson was a master of confusion and used it in every technique he did. I've added a lot more confusion in my practice since learning this. I had been taught to use confusion sparingly, only to come to find out I wasn't using it nearly enough.
K so i tried the one where you bring the palm of their hand close to their face and you pull it out and forward till it touches their head and i think it worked on my brother--i did not tell him what i was attempting to do but when i had his hand close to his face he was laughing but as i was pushing his hand out and in he slowly stopped laughing (which is rare because once he laughs at these sorts of things--he doesnt stop) but he stopped laughing and i said "Sleep" and he literally collapsed to the floor without giggling or anything and i said "oh shit wtf" and then i told him "okay listen to me, wake up" and he woke up, i just don't know if it was real or not, i asked him if he was acting and he said no he first felt "Dizzy" and then he felt like he was "Power out" (Hes 10 years old) so idk what to believe, anyone have ideas or so.?
There is no under! That isn't how hypnosis works. We unscosciously self-hypnotise all day everyday - unconsciously shape our experience from the inside out. Hypnosis as we know it is simply guiding these processes that are always at play. It is not about being 'under', it is about the shaping of experience.
Hi James I would like your vast experiences to help me out. I encountered some event and I dont know what meaning to attach to it, so if you could help a fellow hypnotist out Id appreciate it. When you were doing ritualistic hypnosis you know eyes closed and so on ..... has it ever occured to you that your partner/subject opened his eyes all of sudden without you asking? Today when I was out playin around, I met a guy he wanted to play so I used the standard "before we begin" phrase to play with some waking hypnosis phenomenah, then when it got to eyes closed "official" hypnosis part I did some pyramiding from small towards big phenomenah, and out of the blue he opened his eyes as if wide awake style looking towards some group of tourist girls and then towards his friends and as I asked him why he opened his eyes he said "I dont know". So what Im playin in my mind with is: a) it was compliance not hypnosis b) the surrounding area was really loud with street bands playin music so my voice was drowned out and he coulnt focus c) I dont have a clue ....... simillar events have happened before its rare yes, but still dont have a foggiest whats going on. So help?
haris000000 If he says "I don't know" you could say, "so it was unconscious... I wonder what your unconscious mind wants for you in doing that, and if your unconscious is ready to CLOSE YOUR EYES NOW and relax even deeper". As to why he opened them, who knows?
+Bryan Torralba subtle things.. its most likely that they'r enot hypnotized ull notice a trance though.. people in a trance are kinda lik eslow.. kinda like when you catch your friend daydreaming and their like whu-what?
Rogo Craft Maybe, but probably not. There is probably a block because they don't see you as a hypnotist. Look up my video 'practicing on friends and family': th-cam.com/video/vRLHu4kiwC4/w-d-xo.html
Rogo Videos Try using the phrase "Be three feet back of your head" along with the handshake. Should improve your results. (also, your friends are probably on guard.) You have to catch them off guard.
These kinds of questions are quite deep... not short answers. But there are answers! Much of the free content on my website will give you greater insight, and if you really want to understand and master rapid induction rituals, I would recommend getting the download programme that this clip is taken from (also at my website).
thanks for the info mate I think I may just go with it I have always got a back up trick any way so I will just go with the follow .. and if it do not work I can always do a mind trick to cover it up .. is there a safe way to do it because I do not want to hurt no one it is not about making some one look like a div . it is all about making a show and I would really like to do it in a safe and fun way .. what would you say not to do
It is easy... when you know how :). But even if you haven't refined the skill yet, what's to be afraid of? I promise you, no one will be killed or injured if the person doesn't respond! :D
people respond to confidence. If you look "afraid" then the person will pick up on it. Stand up straight, look like you do this all the time, stay out of your own head (pay attention to your subject, not your internal voice/doubts) and do some of those ambiguous touches, like James does, and they will just assume you are in full control of the situation and will respond. One tip is to say about how well they are doing eg "Your doing very well at relaxing even deeper now" (never mind the bad grammar, it's confusional and commanding.
Personally, I don't make much use of it at all, but then I don't use inductions (at least by my definition) full stop. In my view, inductions (especially 'rapid' inductions) best serve as ritual forms of communication - it's the meaning that gets attached to them that matters (like placebo - the effect isn't in the sugar pill but in the meaning attached to the receiving and taking of the pill - that meaning shapes expectancy). Whilst I have undoubtedly nuanced my views since back then, here is an old video (2012) that roughly outlines them: th-cam.com/video/YuXw3OgkJHs/w-d-xo.html
jay_jag_2033 I am the 'Hypnosis Without Trance' guy, so IMV there is no 'hypnotic state' as such. But if there where... "in a moment, just as soon as you are ready, you can open your eyes and return to full wakefulness and alertness... just as soon as you are ready, you can do that NOW". Any number of possible ways - just direct and coach them into the state you want to take them too - in this instance alert, fully awake and feeling good.
Enjoyed the inductions. There are a number of different Erickson handshake inductions I've heard him describe or seen him demonstrate - 1. Ambiguous touch induction - going in for the handshake then ambiguously releasing whilst talking (and gazing through) with the subject as he slowly taps the hand with his fingers and releases the hand so gently the client doesn't notice the point he has let go and their arm is cataleptic. 2.

Well it didn't help, you have just put your hand up and said, "I am full of shit too and get paid for it."

JamesTrippTV can u do a full tutorial on only handshakes and do it on people...im 16 and im really starting into magic and hypnotism so i really wanna learn every thing i can...
Omg Mental Doing that would be a sidetrack for me at the moment, so it probably won't happen.
Thank you , such a helpfull presentation👍🏻
Thank you, Hypnosisforhealth. You're most welcome.
It actually f*cking worked!
James thanks for your excellent teaching material. I always appreciate your posts.
I agree, a pre framing video would be helpful. But I think this video was really helpful as well. Thanks.

I literally jumped when he said "wowow"
Guess Who jhv
I paused the video and when i came back and played it again I got the shock :)
Thank you James, you're inspired me..... I so much like all your videos.... Me from Indonesia,
Happy to hear that!
Ayyyy I'm the 1000th like! Great video.
2:56 Dude, u scared a crap out of me :'D
:D
I jumped straight to that part and had a similar experience, thanks :D
Came back to watch the full video now and same thing. As effective as ever :)

Hi I'm new to hypnosis, what should I begin my learning with? classic "keep your eyes on this watch" or maybe quick inductions like handshake?
+Elo Banan are you still practising?
Ethan Heath naaah, didn't work once, I gave up on hypnosis
ill help you out if you decide to pick it up again.
its surprisingly easy when you know what your doing.
Ethan Heath that would be super cool... how would you contact me?
you could facebook me i guess, if you really get into it i may create a skype account but facebook should be sufficent.
private message me your FB name and how ill know your profile.
Thanks for the advice LA Boy, but I think I'll stick with it, as it is working out just fine.
You're most welcome Anupam.
Thank you James. Cheers!
Greetings from Serbia!
You're welcome Dule! Greetings back to you from the UK.
this is a very nice demonstration.. thank you
but derren brown does use this "now look at your hand"
Everyone does it the way they do it.

That's great!
Thank you James❤
Very nice James
Thank you Sherree Russell Ginger
Thanks James! The demonstration was great. You seem to have used some subtleties the method, touching the hand at different points etc, can you explain them?
Thank you Juan Manuel!
If it is possible, would you do a piece on covert hypnosis.
Great videos by the way
You know if they have been 'hypnotized' if they are responding to the suggestions you give... if those suggestions are leading them into an altered experience.
I'm 14 and I've been interested in hypnosis , now is it a good idea to try at school
James, absolutely love your videos. Do you have a full induction of yours uploaded anywhere?
Very nicely explained!
Did your demo subject consent to taking part in your demonstration before the pre-talk?
You're most welcome!
Really great comment James very funny, I've been using hypnosis in sales for over twenty years and certainly a prospect would run a miracle mile if I tried that on him/her especially.
Certainly you have the proper understanding of hypnosis and how it should be taught, extremely well rounded
Denis Raftis
Thank you for sharing your perspectives.
Yes breksbruno, that can happen. The trick is to roll with it without fear and awkwardness. Then you can really start to learn and grow :-)
Awkwardness doesn't come from the situation, it comes from what you make of it.
I will do some stuff on covert soon Carlo... (I do already have a video on Overt Vs. Covert here on the tube if you wish to seek it out)
Would you prefer your hand or your face first enter trance?
I get the idea of the pattern interrupt, but why do we freeze after the initial command? What's the mechanism there? Is it just because staring at your palm suddenly is a freaky experience?
How much of his trance is social pressure? Or is a foil?
Social pressure? Not much in this instance. A foil, absolutely not. Buying into a reality? huge factor.
Hi Michael. What do you mean by a 'full induction'?
Should i tell my friend im going to attempt to put them in a trance before doing it, or just ask them to shake hands to try a magic trick? Is it hard to make them sleep while standing up? Will they stay standing or drop to the floor?
Is it yourself I've seen do the magnetic fingers induction because I cannot find it on TH-cam again to watch
Hi Lynne
I'm not sure I've ever done a video on that, but I will put it on the list of topics to cover!
James Tripp - Chaos Wave turns out it wasn't you lol another guy called Karl Smith?
Karl is a good guy! Much to learn from him.
Beginner question:
Can I use an arm pull induction, while shaking someone's hand?
I’m not an expert but I’m sure you can. If you grab their hand and pull, you’ll interrupt the pattern and I think it’ll work
Hi! Great video! I have a question. I am trying to learn how to hypnotise people using this "hand shake induction" method. However I do not understand how do I know if the person has actually been hypnotised when I do it? I tried it on a friend. I told him I was gonna hypnotise him, and when i said sleep, he closed his eyes. Buy how do I know if he actually got hypnotised or if he was just closing his because that seemed like the right thing to do when I said "sleep". Thank you!
I have no experience in hypnosis whatsoever, could I do this to a friend? The richard bandler pattern interrupt without practise? Or would I need to practise? If so, how?
hello Mr Tripp , Thank you for the great vids. Do you have anything for self hypnosis? something to teach how to induce self -trance state?
Interestingly, I am working on self-hypnosis material this week... although 'Self-Hypnosis Without Trance' of course. In the meantime, you may enjoy this self-hypnosis curio: th-cam.com/video/rllgDllb1O8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks John!
Your "what not to do" is actually the closest to how Bandler does it, just a hint less abrupt and as he holds your wrist with two fingers he points to a point on your palm and says "look here" - as your palm gets closer to your eyes he plays on you losing focus and tells you to close them as your hand drops.
Heracles Sakalis Very possibly. Bandler has been a driving force in the creation of so much of that is of value Changework/hypnosis-wise. But there is a lot about his facilitation style that is, in my view, not so great. maybe it’s just a matter of taste!
James Tripp - Chaos Wave I'm not judging good or bad, I've seen Bandler do it and I just thought funnily enough, it's not quite as abrupt as your (slightly exaggerated) "how not to do it", but that's the closest one in this video. He comes around close to the subject's left shoulder and points at a point on their right palm, holding the right wrist with two fingers in an Aikido like grip.
Heracles Sakalis Yes. Not much of a fan of that :)
do you have any videos on how to do covert hypnosis
Ive been doing magic tricks (mostly card magic) to show friends in school. Id really like getting into hypnosis and i was just wondering if the handshake induction is a good place to start. Its pretty much exactly the type of thing ive been looking for and this video was very clear. Is it possible to do this induction just by watching this video or do i need to start somewhere else? thx in advance for anyone who would respond
+UbererSK It is possible to do this just from copying it, and you may get a result. I recommend watching my 'How To Hypnotise Without Trance' series here on TH-cam to get a bead on some subtleties that will help you with hypnotising in general.
+JamesTrippTV ill watch it. tried this handshake induction and the arm pull shock induction on my family but i feel like its very hard bcos they know me too well and just cant take my practicing seriously if you get what i mean.
+UbererSK That is always a problem with friends and family... I have a vid on that too somewhere!
And, of course, all of that is covered in the product itself :)
Where do I start if i want to learn hypnosis to do on my friends?
wait because my friend wants to get a car for less then it is already and he wants to use NLP Covert hypnosis and the handshake induction to do that will it work
There is a large difference between trance and sleep. A trance may activate similar chemicals,but a trance can happen while you are entirely conscious.
i am a magician and i learned from books and by watching derren brown and i mimicked the way he did it like here watch?v=gJasYOtqNPY , i always want to improve so is this the right way or am i doing something wrong? it didn't worked on everybody of course , but most of the times it does, thank you.
Great video's. Thanks for sharing.
Can you give me tips to make it work? I haven't able to make it work even after many attempts...... I just want to learn hypnosis so badddddd......😥😥😥😥
Do you a instructor use any other persons methods or meterial like Clifford Mee or Igor Ledochowski
I tried many times but it does not work with my brothers and parents if I do naaar their hand look they will not fall into a trance ??? What should I do?
In my opinion, you shouldn't even use the name Erickson when discussing these induction methods. There was absolutely nothing shown here even close to Erickson's technique. Saying that his was "a little subtler" is a ridiculous understatement. It was supremely subtle and complex -- on a totally different level. No one these days has the time or inclination to learn about it, let alone do it. It is true that he didn't lift the hand and direct the subject's gaze to it, though. That much you got right.
+CR Green Thanks for your input. :)
+CR Green I have studied Erickson's handshake induction from his own words in his books and videos. And even though he uses breadth of trance instead of depth of trance, you can certainly learn it in an afternoon. The basis of what he does is to intentionally make the subject uncomfortable with the handshake, so as to confuse him. It is a pattern interrupt but Erickson is relying on the subject's confusion of it, and not on bypassing the CF like Bandler.
For instance, Erickson would begin shaking hands with his patient and at the point he where it would be socially acceptable to let go, he hangs on and doesn't let go until he induces that feeling of awkwardness, then he slides in his commands at that point. Erickson was a master of confusion and used it in every technique he did. I've added a lot more confusion in my practice since learning this. I had been taught to use confusion sparingly, only to come to find out I wasn't using it nearly enough.
I'll try this out❤️
Let me know how it goes!
@@TheTrippnotist Sorry late response, it worked😭😭🙌
@@PGaneshRaju High five! :D
K so i tried the one where you bring the palm of their hand close to their face and you pull it out and forward till it touches their head and i think it worked on my brother--i did not tell him what i was attempting to do but when i had his hand close to his face he was laughing but as i was pushing his hand out and in he slowly stopped laughing (which is rare because once he laughs at these sorts of things--he doesnt stop) but he stopped laughing and i said "Sleep" and he literally collapsed to the floor without giggling or anything and i said "oh shit wtf" and then i told him "okay listen to me, wake up" and he woke up, i just don't know if it was real or not, i asked him if he was acting and he said no he first felt "Dizzy" and then he felt like he was "Power out" (Hes 10 years old) so idk what to believe, anyone have ideas or so.?
I guess you got a hit! The vectors come together and there it is!
Hi. Is it possible to accidentally put oneself under? Or can it only be done by another person.
Sort of like how we can't tickle ourselves.
There is no under! That isn't how hypnosis works. We unscosciously self-hypnotise all day everyday - unconsciously shape our experience from the inside out. Hypnosis as we know it is simply guiding these processes that are always at play. It is not about being 'under', it is about the shaping of experience.
For who, with whom and in what context? Those are the questions! THINK swoozie ;-)
Hi James I would like your vast experiences to help me out.
I encountered some event and I dont know what meaning to attach to it, so if you could help a fellow hypnotist out Id appreciate it.
When you were doing ritualistic hypnosis you know eyes closed and so on ..... has it ever occured to you that your partner/subject opened his eyes all of sudden without you asking?
Today when I was out playin around, I met a guy he wanted to play so I used the standard "before we begin" phrase to play with some waking hypnosis phenomenah, then when it got to eyes closed "official" hypnosis part I did some pyramiding from small towards big phenomenah, and out of the blue he opened his eyes as if wide awake style looking towards some group of tourist girls and then towards his friends and as I asked him why he opened his eyes he said "I dont know".
So what Im playin in my mind with is:
a) it was compliance not hypnosis
b) the surrounding area was really loud with street bands playin music so my voice was drowned out and he coulnt focus
c) I dont have a clue .......
simillar events have happened before its rare yes, but still dont have a foggiest whats going on.
So help?
haris000000 If he says "I don't know" you could say, "so it was unconscious... I wonder what your unconscious mind wants for you in doing that, and if your unconscious is ready to CLOSE YOUR EYES NOW and relax even deeper". As to why he opened them, who knows?
How do i know if their actually hypnotized
They're**
+Bryan Torralba subtle things.. its most likely that they'r enot hypnotized ull notice a trance though..
people in a trance are kinda lik eslow.. kinda like when you catch your friend daydreaming and their like whu-what?
Good job...ahahah the subject he's always in alterated state of mind :) also during the demostration :D Seems a very good subject...
Did you actually make that guy close his eyes or was he playing along?
Neither. He is participating in a process and responding to a process.
If I have been trying to hypnotize my friends for a while and it hasn't worked then I try yours will it work after a lot of failed attempts?
Rogo Craft Maybe, but probably not. There is probably a block because they don't see you as a hypnotist. Look up my video 'practicing on friends and family': th-cam.com/video/vRLHu4kiwC4/w-d-xo.html
Rogo Videos Try using the phrase "Be three feet back of your head" along with the handshake.
Should improve your results. (also, your friends are probably on guard.)
You have to catch them off guard.
Rogo Videos Try with someone you've never met before. Church is a very good place. (Don't forget to ask for their wallets.)
Rogo Videos PS Be sure to get the F out of there before they take up offering.
Let me know how it works out for ya.
I am going to be doing this in my magic is their anyway it will work all the time how do you know witch person to do it on
These kinds of questions are quite deep... not short answers. But there are answers! Much of the free content on my website will give you greater insight, and if you really want to understand and master rapid induction rituals, I would recommend getting the download programme that this clip is taken from (also at my website).
Or, of course, you can just go for 'trial and error' which is the best (although not the most comfortable) learning methodology out there!
thanks for the info mate I think I may just go with it I have always got a back up trick any way so I will just go with the follow .. and if it do not work I can always do a mind trick to cover it up .. is there a safe way to do it because I do not want to hurt no one it is not about making some one look like a div . it is all about making a show and I would really like to do it in a safe and fun way .. what would you say not to do
So long as you have a back-up - an 'out' - you are golden!
Very Good!!! Fantastic...!!
Isn't working for whom? With who? When? Where? :-o
Is this really so easy? I'm afraid to try it with a real person :)
It is easy... when you know how :). But even if you haven't refined the skill yet, what's to be afraid of? I promise you, no one will be killed or injured if the person doesn't respond! :D
people respond to confidence. If you look "afraid" then the person will pick up on it. Stand up straight, look like you do this all the time, stay out of your own head (pay attention to your subject, not your internal voice/doubts) and do some of those ambiguous touches, like James does, and they will just assume you are in full control of the situation and will respond. One tip is to say about how well they are doing eg "Your doing very well at relaxing even deeper now" (never mind the bad grammar, it's confusional and commanding.
JamesTrippTV when do they wake up
They are not asleep!
The process ends when you draw it to a close.
You're most welcome, Erwin! J :-)
Never working for me, any tips?
Where can I learn hypnosis?
Rogo Craft At Hypnosis Without Trance dot com :)
Good video but what is the point of this? When is this useful? Thanks!
Personally, I don't make much use of it at all, but then I don't use inductions (at least by my definition) full stop. In my view, inductions (especially 'rapid' inductions) best serve as ritual forms of communication - it's the meaning that gets attached to them that matters (like placebo - the effect isn't in the sugar pill but in the meaning attached to the receiving and taking of the pill - that meaning shapes expectancy).
Whilst I have undoubtedly nuanced my views since back then, here is an old video (2012) that roughly outlines them: th-cam.com/video/YuXw3OgkJHs/w-d-xo.html
What are some methods to bring somone out of a hypnotic state???
jay_jag_2033 I am the 'Hypnosis Without Trance' guy, so IMV there is no 'hypnotic state' as such. But if there where... "in a moment, just as soon as you are ready, you can open your eyes and return to full wakefulness and alertness... just as soon as you are ready, you can do that NOW". Any number of possible ways - just direct and coach them into the state you want to take them too - in this instance alert, fully awake and feeling good.
Can you do Hypnosis with any language like Filipino ?
I should think so... though I can't say for sure as I only speak English. But I know people who hypnotise in other languages.
