Reader Question:
Hi Mr. Sean! I like your videos and i have a question:
Is it important to say loud "Sleep" or is it just more effective to shock someone?
I started to learn hypnosis recently. I hope this not was a stupid question :D
please reply thanks!:D Greeting from Hungary.
Sean's Answer:
This is a very good question. You need to do both. The shock sets the person up for the suggestion. You then have 1/2 second to give the suggestion of "Sleep!" or "Relax!" and this sends the person into hypnosis. As with all other inductions, it makes sense to follow this with deepeners to stabilize the trance. Good question!

Street Skits
Now here's something cute! I was doing street hypnosis and a little four-year-old boy was sitting on the end of the bench where I was working with a hypnotized subject. I transferred control to the little boy and had him do a reinduction. This video is really cute. Check it out!
Hear My Interview
Sean Spills His Guts
Nathan of KeysToTheMind interviewed me on 28 June. We talked about the mechanics of street hypnosis including how to find volunteers, how to spot scammers, how to choose the best subjects and of course we talked about safety. As usual, I did not hold back any information. One of the things I enjoy most about hypnotists is that they tend to share their knowledge freely. This is a wonderful thing and a tradition I strive to uphold. To hear this interview, click HERE.

Reader Question:
How do you deal with a "hypnotic hangover"?
Sean's Answer:
Sometimes a subject will emerge from hypnosis and complain of a headache, nausea, dizziness, or may feel that she's still in hypnosis. This will happen more often if you emerge the subject quickly. This is extremely easy to fix! All you do is rehypnotize her and then emerge her again SLOWLY. As you count her up, give her lots of suggestions for clear-headedness, energy and other good feelings. That's it!

Beware Short Skirts
I was in Ocean City, Maryland, last weekend, performing street hypnosis. It's summer, so many of the women were wearing short skirts. Now, while these can make your video very popular on Youtube (pretty girl = many views) they can also spoil your performance and here's why. I usually do stand-up inductions for the men, but with the women, I usually employ a seated hand drop induction. I need my subject to feel comfortable and secure, but if she is wearing a miniskirt, this may cause her to hold back a little. Imagine this. She is relaxing, letting go, and suddenly she thinks to herself, "Is my skirt riding up?" This will bring her out of trance. The solution? Ask one of the guys in the crowd to lend her his jacket so you can cover her legs and make her feel more comfortable. He'll be happy to do it and she'll feel much more relaxed and will go much deeper into trance.
Finger Magnets - Suggestibility or Trick?
A discussion has been going on on one of my favorite newsgroups, Nathan's KeysToTheMind, about the finger magnets test. Specifically whether or not it is a test of suggestibility or if it's just a trick. In fact, it is both, and here is how it works. Tell your subject to press her palms together and then interlock her fingers tightly, but to leave the index fingers sticking out, about an inch apart. Have her squeeze her hands tightly together, lock her elbows and look at you through the gap in her index fingers. Then ask her to imagine that there are powerful magnets in the tips of her index fingers and they are attracting one another. The attraction gets stronger and stronger! In just a few moments, her fingertips should touch. In fact, the only way your subject can keep the finger tips from touching is by actively keeping them apart. The reason for this is because with the hands firmly clasped the fingertips naturally come together. That is the "trick" part of this. If her fingertips do not touch, she is resisting you! So it's not so much of a suggestibility test as it is a test for resistance! "finger magnets" makes a nice demonstration, but it is especially useful to determine if your subject REALLY wants to be hypnotized. Here's a video that shows "finger magnets".
