Seriously, I really am not kidding you . . . if you have not signed up for the Los Angeles experiences we've got coming very very very soon from August 15-6 and another event on August 17 at the very same venue in beautiful Redondo Beach, then you really need to get a move on…

HYPNOSIS FUN 樂在催眠 Photos and Videos

by Brian David Phillips • July 26, 2009

Last Friday, we had a wonderful time performing the HAPPY HYPNOMIND 樂在催眠 comedy hypnosis show at the Live Comedy Club Taipei (http://www.comedy.com.tw/node/309) and much fun was had by all. The show was indeed a lot of fun. We had more volunteers than fit on the stage, so I added a chair to the side for…

David Farrier interviews Tony Lee

by Brian David Phillips • July 25, 2009

For those unfamiliar with Tony Lee's work, here's an interesting little interview done with him by David Farrier. If you're reading this via a stream, go to Life of Brian for the video embed. Not your typical show and certainly, Tony crosses a lot of lines most hypnotists, even other x-rated ones, don't cross. Tony…

Vicarious eXperiential Machine Process

by Brian David Phillips • July 17, 2009

Given my long-time position as an Associate Professor at an elite university, it should not come as a surprise to anyone that I’ve done a lot of work in using hypnosis and trance in learning enhancement or skills improvement. One technique I use is what I call the Vicarious eXperiential Machine Process, which is a…

Fairy Dragon Variations Redux Revisited

by Brian David Phillips • July 14, 2009

The Fairy Dragon or Magick Egg hypnosis process is one of my favorite original processes. I really get a kick out of running it with folks, particularly those who've never experienced experiential hypnosis before. It's a nice way to gauge a person's responsiveness and to delight their sensibilities. It's become quite an international technique for me…

Fairy Dragon Hypnosis

by Brian David Phillips • July 13, 2009

When I taught my Speed Hypnosis Techniques course in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in March, among the various techniques I demonstrated was one of my favorites . . . the Magick Egg or Fairy Dragon Hypnosis process. This is truly and experiential process and can be extremely delightful. The process itself was inspired by the classic…

Energizer

by Brian David Phillips • July 7, 2009

Some of my regular readers are already familiar with the Energizer and how it can be used in multiple contexts. The video included with this post comes from a collection on Suggestibility Fun that I created some time ago. The Energizer was originally created within the seduction community but I have adapted it to metaphysical,…

Group Drunken Hypnosis

by Brian David Phillips • July 2, 2009

I've been going a bit drunken with the posts of Drunken Hypnosis induction videos of late . . . these have been individual session clips with one-on-one work. However, this same process works great as a group induction. Here's a clip from my Happy Hypnomind show of May 29 in Taipei (don't forget, I have…

Stupendous Emotional State Flood

by Brian David Phillips • June 27, 2009

Emotions reside within the body but are artifacts of the mind. They can be programmed and they can be surrendered to. One thing that is very interesting to me is how within hypnosis and experiential trance, one can program emotions to flood the system, really flood. This has applications in metaphysical work as well as…

Voodoo Hypnosis Redux

by Brian David Phillips • June 25, 2009

We've gone this route before but . . . the clips I posted had some audio problems or other messiness involved . . . so, here we go again with some audio corrections and more voodoo hypnosis goodness. Most folks reading this blog are well aware of the idea of VOODOO, albeit most are also…

Hypnotic Water Adventures

by Brian David Phillips • May 4, 2009

When I do the Wacky Hypnotic Bus gag, I usually tag it with a water adventure. Here is a short video of the sort of thing the volunteers get up to. Of course, if you are reading this post via a stream on the likes of Facebook or elsewhere, you need to go to the…

Wacky Hypnotic Bus Ride

by Brian David Phillips • May 3, 2009

One thing about performing standup comedy is that while you may know your routines (and many comics memorize every nuance of their delivery) you don't know how the audience will respond so you have to be ready to adjust to the audience reaction. With comedy stage hypnosis, you not only have to be able to…

Stuck Hands Fractionation

by Brian David Phillips • May 1, 2009

One principle of hypnosis is that if a person has been hypnotized once, then they can go into the state more readily and "deeper" the next time they are hypnotized, gaining skill at entering into hypnosis more effectively each time. So, a common technique to "deepen" the experience for folks is fractionation – taking a…

Happy Balloons Hypnosis

by Brian David Phillips • April 28, 2009

Arm levitation (especially as imagined as balloons attached to the arms) is a common hypnotic suggestibility test or effect. However, I like to associate it to a positive emotional state – Happy Balloons – and convert into the induction proper. This video demonstrates what I mean. Of course, if you are reading this post via…
