As If He’s In My Brain . . .
by Brian David Phillips •
Matt writes a very touching piece on Voices You Hear In Your Head and it’s as if he’s writing what the little voice in my own head has been saying . . . a lot. I love performing, love it. And I really really really have missed it over the years I’ve lived here. Now…

Hypno-Sculpture
by Brian David Phillips •
Sometimes you just have to marvel at another performer’s bit. The Art of Hypno-Sculpture is an elegant, quirky, and interesting idea that takes a rather unorthodox approach to street trance and performance. Basically, international entertainer Win Eiam-ong (aka Win the Mentalist and Master Hypnotist, web), walks up to folks in major cities around the globe…

Train Thoughts
by Brian David Phillips •
More fun with Derren Brown. Ormond McGill used to do this sort of stuff with bus drivers, getting them to forget the next stop or their route. It’s a form of waking suggestion that he would practice for fun, technique enhancement, and skill development. See McGill’s excellent The New Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnotism, the single…

. . . Time Stop
by Brian David Phillips •
I have posted about Jason, Lord Hypno, and his time stop hypnosis videos before. As I have said before, a lot of folks do this but his clips showcase how playful and fun it can be very well. In essence, the hypnotist hypnotizes a group of folks and has it set up so that when…

College Hypnosis . . .
. . . when university students become hypnotists
by Brian David Phillips •
University students are often volunteers in hypnosis shows and they make some of the best subjects. So, what happens when university students decide to take up hypnosis? Fun and chaos? I began reading devouring every hypnosis book I could find since I was a kid but wish I had been more proactive with it when…

Vibrating Hand Toy
by Brian David Phillips •
Rex Carson (web) demonstrates his variation of a gag I also do in shows. My version is a bit different from the way Rex does it but his variation looks like a LOT of fun. Rex has taken a fairly straightforward "classic" bit and used intelligent and imaginative routining to create a marvelously clever and…

My very good friend and fellow trancemaster, A Hypno Goovy Guy (or, David to most of us and Fonteneau to his many many hypnofans), responded to an article I linked to in this post with a video: You can never go wrong with Derren Brown.
