Professional Stage Hypnotism

I am only 12, I have been researching hypnosis for a couple years now, but I've never expected to actually do it myself. But when my dad got this book for me I had a sleepover and my friends agreed to let me hypnotize them. One went into deep hypnosis and responded to every suggestion I gave him, the other went into a light trance, and the other fell asleep. The instructions are clear and simple, unlike other books I've read it doesn't leave the reader hanging when the subject closes his/her eyes, but instead keeps going until the subject is deep in hypnosis. The author doesn't stress his induction more than any other. And there are a variety of useful inductions all of which I have tested and been amazed at how quickly they work. Out of all the hypnosis books I've read this is the one that actually tought me to hypnotize.

I found this book to be helpful. The thing that I like most about this book is that it uses simple, easy to understand illustrations that I haven't seen used in other books like this one. The book is kind of old being published in 1977 but I would recommend this book as a first for those interested in hypnosis. Many of the later books of today cover the same subjects and I believe copy straight from this book. If you already have a newer book that you are satisfied with, this probably isn't for you unless you are looking to expand your knowledge of things you already have an understanding of. This is not for self-hypnosis, this is for hypnotising your friends or someone other than yourself and would probably give you very limited insight on self hypnosis.

Since I was a child I have always been fascinated by the power of suggestion implanted by hypnotists. Such a feat to make someone believe they're of the opposite sex, think everyone's naked, etc. I have longed to learn how to hypnotize people for the LONGEST time and finally, thanks to this book, I can! It's amazingly simple and quick to learn. I am so amazed at the powers I behold now! It's been said that the pen is mightier than the sword; now, my friend, the ability to TALK is mightier than the pen! If you've ever wanted to hypnotize anyone (like the outrageous stuff seen on Howard Stern's show) get this book now! You'll Love It! Take my word for it!

This book is great! I never thought there would be such a book for a aspiring stage hypnotist like myself. I recommend everyone intrested in stage hypnotism buy this book!
