Seriously, this video makes so much more sense if you watch it with hypnotically conditioned responses in mind. Either as if someone gave the young lady a Post Hypnotic Suggestion to have arousal and orgasm responses to Lady Gaga in the program or a general suggestion for arousal and orgasmic response sets. That’s evidently not…
A very effective way to ensure that someone will reliably re-enter hypnosis after the first session is to give them a Post-Hypnotic Suggestion for hypnotic reinduction, that is they will re-enter hypnosis, deeper and more reliably each time. This is usually tied to a trigger phrase or construct but – between you and me –…

Some folks claim hypnosis is a trance and others say all trance is hypnosis while others say sombunal trance is hypnosis. Some folks get rather angry about their definitions. In a sort of rant, Brian David Phillips discusses the differences between hypnosis and other forms of trance as well as the various signs of a…
It’s unfortunate when professional wrestlers dirty their sport’s reputation by using illegal means to win matches . . . sometimes going so far as to humiliate their opponents in unspeakable ways . . . but it’s really bad when someone uses hypnosis to manipulate and humiliate other professionals. In this video, you can clearly see…
Regular readers have seen me perform the Hypnotic Drinking Finger before (https://briandavidphillips.net/2013/05/18/hypnodrunkmore/). Well, here we go again with a new go at it. The process can be done either as a waking suggestion, as an induction in and of itself, or as an effect after a formal induction. Here, I have already induced hypnosis and…
Continuing a bit with our illustration that Suggestibility IS Hypnosis (see https://briandavidphillips.net/2013/07/15/suggbreastinflate/ for the earlier Breast Inflator installment), here’s some MAGICKAL FEATHER fun. She put that feather where? So, what can you do with waking suggestion? Well, you can do a LOT . . . evidently you can have a rubber nose . . .…
Some hypnotists use Suggestibility Tests to determine if someone can be hypnotized . . . uh, nope . . . the Suggestibility Effect IS Hypnosis. If someone is responding to your suggestibility effect, they are already hypnotized. There is no need to stop and start over with a formal “induction” you’re already good to go.…
I’m jumping the gun on this by a few days . . . but . . . Lorraine and I were shooting some waking suggestion and suggestibility video yesterday working with a lovely young woman and couldn’t resist myself . . . more sticky fun . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN8tyMb3tp4 . . . hot off the…

He was right there front and center at the last Los Angeles class I taught on Walkabout Trance Speed Hypnosis last February and it was a…
I was recently asked about a technique that I taught in one of my US courses in February . . . the use of a Pendulum and Answer Card for ideomotor effect based autoquestioning. As many know, I have special cards printed up that I use with clients or on the street and have a…
Yes, it’s true! You really can’t know what’s going to happen in a hypnosis show . . . even when you’re the hypnotist and you’ve been doing this stuff for years. Look closely at the picture above. The hypnotist who looks like he’s been struck for a micromoment by lightening is my friend Sean Michael…
The first four minutes of the new movie Now You See Me is out and in it we get to see Woody Harrelson playing a mentalist slash street hypnotist who takes his act a bit beyond the typical. He uses a classic speed induction – yep, one that I teach – to hypnotize a woman…
Since the Society of Experiential Trance (http://www.TranceSociety.org) is sponsoring the Hypnotic Video Challenge along with the Hypnosis Technique Exchange, here is my entry to the May Challenge with the theme of Handshake Inductions. This is not a street hypnosis but a first-time trance induction. If all goes well, I hope to get good video at…
A touch can bring so much pleasure . . . especially when it’s an anchored touch that has been hypnotically set to cause a pleasure, intimacy, romantic, sensual, sexual, blissful, delightful response. Yes, indeed. Obviously, context is important but hypnosis can certainly be useful in setting up automatic pleasure responses in an appropriate consenting adult…
Recently in one of my classes at the university, I mentioned the use of hypnosis to guide folks into a feeling of being high of feeling drunk with no chemicals needed. So, here’s a slew of videos to show the effect in action! These videos are all of me performing hypnosis with members of the…
