Can You Do an Instant Induction on Yourself?

Can You Do an Instant Induction on Yourself?

What a Silly Question.... Occasionally I get a question from someone who views my Youtube videos. They want to know if you can do an instant induction on yourself. I tell them, "No. This is something that you can only do to someone else." Well, because of what happened last weekend, I will have to change my answer. My friend Kenda Summers and I were doing a show in Cedar Rapids Iowa. We wanted to test out a new routine for our show in Chicago this month at the Mid-America Hypnosis Conference. We are SO excited about this show! Anyway.... We had something happen in our show that has never happened before. In fact I have NEVER heard of it happening EVER!!! Here's what happened.... The show was progressing nicely and we had two STAR subjects. We did the game show skit. One volunteer is only able to give wrong answers and the other volunteer is the smartest woman in the world and knows all the answers. If the judges overrule her (and they always will) she is instructed to become highly agitated. The final question was, "How long does an instant hypnotic induction take?"  She looked at me and said with an intellectually superior attitude, "How about... an instant?" "Wrong!" I said. "WHAAAAT!???" she screamed.  "No." I said. "The answer is three nanoseconds." She exploded in indignation. "What are you talking about!!! Everybody knows that an instant induction takes an instant. What is the matter with you?!!! You just go SLEEP!"and she clapped her hands. Her head snapped back and she was silent. Cory was at the show and he described it this way. "Kenda looked astonished, and Sean looked like a dog who had just heard a high-pitched noise." I couldn't believe what I had just seen. I shook her shoulder... Nothing! She was OUT! She had done an instant shock induction on herself!!! Some audience members were filming and I am trying to find video for you. It was amazing!
