Seriously, you will NOT regret the experience. Here are some comments from folks who have previously attended this or other events:
"Brian, you are one of the most well known and most highly respected
hypnotists in the world, and I was thrilled to be at your recent
Walkabout Trance workshop. It was great fun, but more than that it was
enlightening for me and the others that attended. Taking it to the
streets was a challenge for me, I have to admit. But putting it in
practice gave me an additional skill that really makes hypnosis more
interesting. I created a Hawaii Retreat in April and while I was there
with my members having dinner, I hypnotized the waiter using your
techniques and he had a straw stuck in his hands and the entire place
was amazed. You are a solid instructor and a great pleasure to
learn from. It is true, you can teach this old dog some new tricks…
and I thank you for that."

I first got to Taiwan in 2004, I was lucky enough to attend Brian’s
monthly meetings and hypnosis teachings. Although I was already trained
in hypnosis in my psychology program and through NLP and through
membership in ASCH, I found Brian to be the most versatile and
knowledgeable teacher of hypnosis I had ever met. He knows all the
literature and is generous with his knowledge. He knows all the theory
and yet he can apply it in the street or on the stage. Although I am
particularly impressed with his skills of Rapid Induction, he can
pretty much use any technique at any time with any person in any
situation. I find him amazing, a real treasure, and am one ole dog
happy to learn new tricks from a down to earth master who is ethical
and very, very good with all kinds of people. I can highly recommend
Brian to you without reservation."
what an experience! Brian was a great teacher and a lot of fun. He
brings a truly great academic mind to the table, then teaches with all
the fun and vitality of the great stage hypnotist he truly is. His
playful style engenders confidence and he cajoles the best out of each
participant He is caring, supportive and keen to see that each student
"gets it" in a way that can be immediately put it to practical use. I
particularly enjoyed the trance games that assured that we practiced
and observed with new partners several times in each exercise. The walk
about trance experience was really a lot of fun and generated a
wonderful camaraderie. A worthwhile learning experience and a perfect
hypnotist's mini-vacation… Kudos to Brian …. Brian.. I'll see you on
the next American tour …. for sure."

have been in the "professional" side of hypnosis since around 1987, and
in that time, going to conventions and reading posts on the internet..
I kept coming across this guy from Taipei, Taiwan. Brian David
Phillips. His posts were always very insightful.. his advice was to the
point.. and he seemed like the kind of teacher that really cared about
his students actually "GETTING IT". When I finally had the wonderful
opportunity to meet him at a seminar he was teaching… I realized that
he is WAY WAY more than he lets on in his postings. Here is a man who
can teach basic hypnosis in the morning and shift right into Advanced
techniques in the same module. Not just teaching them, but presenting
them in such a way that even beginners can grasp the concepts and learn
the skills. His wit is sharp and while you are busy laughing at his
comments, his teachings slip right into your unconscious now and you
learn at the deepest levels of your mind.
Well versed in Stage
Presentation, Instant Inductions, hypnotic history and usage in
"mystical" cultures, as well as the leading edge medical uses for
hypnosis, this is a guy that you want to hang around and learn all the
little nuance's that he imparts to his classes. It is obvious from the
first moment you meet him that he is one of the teachers who really
gets it. I am looking forward to his next seminar.. and the chance to
share some time with him."
David Phillips is an outstanding instructor. His knowledge of hypnosis
theory and practice makes any training with him extremely valuable.
Brian’s teaching style is fun and playful, and encourages students to
participate and learn by doing. If you want to learn instant and rapid
hypnotic inductions and how to perform them safely, I recommend Brian
David Phillips as an excellent instructor. Brian, I have a lot
respect for you as an educator and as a hypnotist. You always share
what you know freely and this is something that I also respect and I am
thankful for all you have shared with me."
is a GIFTED master of hypnosis. He makes everything appear so easy and
effortless that you know you are learning from a master. His classes
are not only filled with learning but also with kindness, and fun. What
a wonderful way to spend your time. If you are looking for a class or
workshop to hone your skills, make the decision to learn from Brian
David Phillips. Awesome skills, awesome fun and a person full of
integrity, which is hard to find! Don't miss an opportunity to study
with him."

attended Brian David Phillips's Experiential Walkabout Trance event not
too long ago, and I've got nothing but positive things to say about it.
Brian covered a vast amount of really useful material in a small period
of time. The workshop gave lots of opportunities to not only learn the
material, but practice it as well. All the risk taking opportunities
given really helped me to get over inhibitions regarding spontaneously
offering hypnosis experiences to both strangers and colleagues. I'd do
it again in a heartbeat. If you really want to be at the top of your
game as a hypnotherapist of stage performer, I highly recommend this
work."

Folks, I just got home from Brian David Phillip's Walkabout Trance for
Speedy Inductions and I'd like to say a few words about Dr. Phillips
and his workshop. I really didn't know what to expect. From reading
his posts, my sense of his personality was that he was incredibly
intelligent, energetic, and had a copious knowledge of hypnosis,
hypnotherapy and it's attending arts…. I … decided to keep an open mind about him and his teaching methods when I signed up for the Walkabout. Well,
my stars (who says that in the 21st Century?). Besides the fact that he
teased me mercilessly (I think we are at a count of 47 zingers in one
day), I thought he was delightful, generous, and funny. Dr. Brian David
Phillips funny? Oh, yes. Very. He has outstanding comedic timing. And
the thing that was most surprising? Incredibly loving. The big
teddy-bear of a man is just a gooey marshmallow of love. Who knew? And
I loved, just loved, every second of his workshop. It ended way, way,
way too quickly. A case of time distortion at it's finest. I met
incredibly wonderful people (as is always true at a hypnosis
convention) …. Everything was perfectly executed. You know that it's a
great workshop when you have a bunch of stage hypnotists there, and
Wendi herself. That tells you something.
"I was so pleased with this workshop I wish I could do it again next weekend, now that I know what to expect from Dr. BDP."

class was very engaging and involved a hands on approach which allowed
all the participants to learn through creative exploration. He made
learning fun and provided a safe and nurturing environment for
practice. The techniques taught by him were useful and readily
applicable, be it in the field of entertainment or changework. I have
personally benefited greatly from his counsel. If you are curious
about the incredible power of the mind and like to expand your comfort
zone, I'd highly recommend you get in touch with Brian."
attended one of Brian's trainings in February, and have been a
long-time reader of his blog. As an experienced hypnotist, I can attest
that he is exceptionally competent and sets the bar by which others are
measured. He is well-versed in both hypnotic theory and practical
application, and gives professional and exciting demonstrations of the
skills needed to become a hypnotist. Brian's creativity also shines
through in his work – one of the most challenging parts of his training
was being given the task of creating new techniques on-the-fly. You
don't get out of his class without proving that you can do it. I highly
recommend his training to anyone who is serious about learning
hypnosis, and I am eager to see what Brian creates in the future."

you for the marvelous course. I enjoyed the five evenings together with
you. I will definitely be there if you open another course."

just want to say thank you for a arranging such a wonderful class with
many resources and demonstration. It was one probably the most
enjoyable training I have ever attended. Again, thank you for a wonderful training, especially, it is so unique and made me start to think in different ways."
