Last year we did street hypnosis in Las Vegas and had a blast! Maybe it's because the people there are out to have a good time and were more willing to participate than people in other parts of the country. Maybe it was just that my students were a bunch of "hypno-animals", hypnotizing any man woman or child that would stand still for them. It WAS a wild bunch of hypnotists.

We were cleaning up the classroom at the end of the first day and a wedding party showed up to inspect the ballroom. I dropped the groom and one of my students dropped the maid of honor... (with permission, of course!)

Anyway, next weekend we'll be at it again because I'm doing another class in Las Vegas called "Hyp on the Strip!" Why don't you come out and join us?

Street Hypnosis - Ask Sean

Q. I know you are an expert on Dave Elman's work, and I have seen you teach the Dave Elman Induction. Did Dave Elman have a special way to emerge his subjects from hypnosis?
A. This is a great question! Dave's emergence was simple, yet elegant. It almost never results in a hypnotic hangover. Here is what Dave would say.

"In a moment I am going to have you open your eyes and when you do, you will feel better than you have all day.... Now open your eyes and see how good you feel!"

That's it! He gives a post hypnotic suggestion that the person will feel good after emergence and then he emerges the subject.

Many hypnotists will take a long time to do the emergence (I do this too sometimes) but it really isn't necessary. So, now you know! Street hypnosis is quick hypnosis, so why not make your emergence quick too?!
I will post more details on this in my next offering.

How Do You Find a GOOD Hypnosis Teacher?

Eight Questions to Ask Your Prospective Hypnosis Instructor

If you have decided to become a Clinical Hypnotherapist or Consulting Hypnotist, you can expect to spend at least $1700.00 for a course that lasts at least seven days. This is a considerable investment in time and money, so how do you tell if the instructor is a good one? I recommend that you interview several instructors and ask the following questions.



1. What is the quality of the hypnosis organization the instructor represents?

· Your course should certify you with a reputable hypnosis organization that provides opportunities for continuing education as well as support to help you build a practice. If your instructor represents a reputable organization such as the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA), or the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE), you can be assured that you will receive the support you need and that you are certifying with a respectable organization.

2. Who did the instructor study with?

· Many hypnosis instructors have received inadequate hypnosis education. They studied with one obscure instructor, who probably studied with another obscure instructor, etc. This means that the hypnosis education they can provide you is just watered-down mediocrity. Ask the instructor who he/she studied with and then look up THOSE people. Are they world-renowned? Are they considered the best of the best? A truly good hypnosis instructor strives to learn from giants in the field, and then continues his/her education by taking classes and reading books and journals just to keep up to date.

3. Is the instructor a full time hypnotist?

· Sad to say, most hypnosis instructors are part-timers. The downside to this is that they never get enough clients to become really proficient. A good instructor has treated thousands of clients.

4. What hypnosis books does the instructor recommend?

· This seems like a no-brainer because one would expect a professional hypnosis instructor to be very well read. Most aren’t. This will tell you two things. First, you will find out if your prospective instructor is well read. Second, you will get some insight into the type of hypnosis your instructor practices. If he/she recommends Elman, Erickson and Yapko, you can be assured that this instructor knows clinical hypnosis. If the recommendations are for Weiss, Bernstein, and books like “The Secret,” you can expect a heavy metaphysical bent to the course.

5. Is the instructor an expert with Instant and Rapid Inductions?

· A good hypnotist should be a master of all types of inductions. Different inductions work for different people. Unfortunately, most hypnotists only know one induction, the slow progressive muscle relaxation induction, otherwise known as PR or PMR. There are MANY inductions out there, such as the Dave Elman Induction, instant inductions, and confusion inductions. If your prospective teaches instant and rapid inductions, you can be pretty sure that this person knows all the others too.

6. Is the instructor internationally known?

· Once again, a no-brainer. Do a google search on this individual and see what others are saying about him/her.

7. Does the instructor have testimonials?

· If your prospective instructor is good, there should be testimonials available from satisfied students. Video testimonials are even better because you can really see what the students think about their training.

8. Can the instructor talk to all aspects of hypnosis - clinical, street, stage?

· Most instructors know only one type of hypnosis. The techniques of stage hypnosis and street hypnosis are essential to the clinical hypnotist who wants to market the hypnosis practice. Street hypnosis is considered the most difficult form of hypnosis and enables the hypnotist to gain the best skills and confidence. A really superior hypnosis instructor knows how to do all three types.



I hope these tips will help you find the hypnosis education you deserve. Feel free to email me if you have further questions!

Street Hypnosis Newsletter
IN THIS ISSUE
Ask Sean


Q. I want to order one of your DVD's, but please don't put "hypnosis" on the mailing box.

A. We NEVER do!
I've only gotten this concern a few times, but as one experienced business man told me last week, "If you hear something once, it may represent the thoughts of hundreds of customers who just haven't voiced it."

So here's the deal. When you order a DVD or book from me, it comes in one of these neat, boxes with your address and my address AND NOTHING ELSE! :-)

Good question!

Here's what it looks like:

I did two talks at the Global Hypnosis eSummit last weekend. The first one was on using the Dave Elman induction in your hypnosis practice and the second one was about taking Street Hypnosis techniques and applying them to a hypnotherapy practice.

Per the organizers, the room was packed (virtually) and the crowd loved it.

I recorded the talks and I will be making them available to you in a few weeks as MP3 files. Stay tuned for details!

Spotters are Useful
We were doing street hypnosis on the boardwalk. In the video you will see a girl answer a payphone and then drop into trance. One of my crew, Ian, decided that she might fall the wrong way and used his ninja reflexes (He really is a ninja and teaches Ninjutusu at a Martial Arts Dojo) to catch her. Here is the video. You need to be careful when you do street hypnosis and I post this video to illustrate the point.

We offer instant hypnosis courses around the country. If you want to take our training, drop us an email and let us know. If we get sufficient interest we will offer the course in your city.



These inductions are not just for stage hypnosis. By using instant/rapid inductions in a clinical practice, the hypnotist has much more time to do the therapy. This is a win for the hypnotist and a win for the client.



Most hypnosis schools do not teach instant and rapid inductions. Why is this? It's because few instructors know how to do these inductions. We do, and we can teach you to do them too!
