Protect your cameraman

Another safety issue to consider is protecting your videographer. We usually have a videographer present during street hypnosis outings for safety and also to capture and document the fun. Look at your cameraman. Your videographer intends to film you and may not be aware of EVERYTHING that is going on around you. It’s a really good idea to get one of those orange safety vests for your cameraman. For extra credit, have a patch on the back that says “Camera 2” or something. This will increase the legitimacy of your operation and keep your videographer safe. After all, if there’s a “two” camera, it must be doing something important, right? The orange vest draws more attention to you and what exactly you are doing, so there are many good reasons to wear the orange vest.

the hypnotic hangover

A hypnotic hangover can sometimes occur when a subject comes out of hypnosis too quickly. How fast is too fast? It depends. If you have never had a subject or client experience a hypnotic hangover, you will. So what does a hypnotic hangover look like? A person with a hypnotic hangover will complain of a headache or nausea, they will complain of feeling “still hypnotized”. The good news is that eliminating a hypnotic hangover is very easy. The hypnotist to look like a hero in this situation. Simply hypnotize the person again, and this time surface slowly. If the last time you mentioned the subject counting from 1 to 3, count from 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 with many suggestions of good health and well-being and lucidity and your subject will arrive. feeling much better. And when the subject opens his eyes, say: “And look how good you feel”, do not say, how do you feel?” Tell the person that it feels wonderful and the person will do it! Your subject will respond, “Yes! I feel good!” This will make the hypnotist look like a miracle worker. You just eliminated a headache instantly. Of course, he is the one who caused it, but this part will be forgotten!

fragile subjects

During street hypnosis, be careful when working with anyone who has a condition that could cause injury. Shock induction should never be performed on a pregnant woman or any physically frail person. A mild Elman induction might be appropriate, but in general, it is best to work only with strong, healthy subjects who will not be harmed by the induction or subsequent skits.

spontaneous coma

In all the flash inductions I’ve done, all the street inductions I’ve done and I’ve done a lot, this has never happened to me. I have never been in a hypnotic coma unless I intended to do the hypnotic coma. But, it is theoretically possible. There’s a 1 in 10,000 chance of this happening to you, someone going into the Esdaile state spontaneously into a hypnotic coma, but I want you to know what to do.

A hypnotic coma or Esdaile state is a very, very deep state of hypnosis. A subject in the Esdaile state will not follow your instructions. When you try to make them emerge, they won’t come out. The reason? The state of Esdaile feels so good that the subject wants to stay there. It is a state of absolute euphoria! So what can you do? You have this woman standing next to you and her friends are around her, and she doesn’t say anything, she doesn’t do anything, she just stands there like a lump. Well, the first thing that will happen is that her friends will start talking about calling the ambulance to take her to the ER, which is absolutely not necessary.

How do you get it out? The first thing to do is make sure it’s a hypnotic coma, so ask her. Say, “I just counted from 1 to 5 and I noticed you didn’t open your eyes like I told you, why didn’t you?” If she says, “Oh, I just didn’t mean to” or “It felt really good,” you don’t have a hypnotic coma. A subject in a coma won’t talk to you. So if she talks, you have a choice. You can say, “Okay, I can leave you here and you can continue to enjoy working with other people,” or “I’m going to get you out of hypnosis.” Be firm and she will emerge. If she doesn’t talk to you, she checks to make sure she hasn’t fallen asleep.

It happens, especially late at night. Give her a little push and tell her to wake up, and if she does wake up, she wasn’t in a coma. If he still stands there and doesn’t say anything and doesn’t do anything, it could be the coma. Dave Elman in the 1920s used this method. It’s called the threatened coma. He says, “I know you feel good, but you need to get out right now. And if you don’t get out right now when I count to 5, I’m going to fix this so you never get hypnotized again.” I’m going to put a hypnotic seal on you.” Be very congruent. “I’ll do that and you can never be hypnotized again.” And then count and the person will come out of the coma. wonderful never again is too big a risk to take!Those of us who have been in a coma understand!
