How to Perform Stage Hypnotism

By Richard Barker


Ding! Ding! Ding! Your man starts giggling wildly every time a bell rings. Another person in the audience crawls around and barks like a dog. The crowd is in a chaos while watching these standard folk do all kinds of daft things. This is stage hypnotism, and any individual can do it.

First, make the topic feel nice and relaxed. The obligation is that she must feel very comfortable. This is done so as to release all the strain inside the person. A clear head is crucial to successfully hypnotizing a subject. The subject's level of relaxation can be checked by studying his breathing patterns. Respiring should be deep, and all breaths should be equal. Next, check the subject's muscles. They shouldn't be tense, and the topic should not be fidgeting. Understanding even the tiniest particulars in this process and training properly will help you become a good stage hypnotist.

Secondly, spur the subject to daydream about relaxing subjects. This is important to further relax his mind and make your subject awfully receptive to the things which you assert. Next, ask the subject to relive his experiences from the past few days. Steer him in creating an internal picture but let him do all the work. Once the internal image has been revealed, tell him to let those memories go. After that, tell the topic to picture a craving in his mind, especially a craving for a particular food. He must visualise it, smell it, and taste it. Help him do this by inspiring his imaginings that the food is basically in the room with him. At about that point, test your subject again. Tell him to imagine a ruler, and allow him to rate himself from one to 12; one being completely awake while 12 being nearly asleep. If their range is lower than nine, repeat the last 3 steps to induce total relaxation in preparation for proper stage hypnotism.

Trust is your strongest weapon. Foster trust this by telling the subject that he is in control. Tell him that what he's going to do under hypnosis is the right thing to do. Just say anything that you believe will build up his trust and faith in you to lead him. Once you are aware the subject trusts you, try making him to stand up. If he does, then you know that you have him. But you ought to be patient at times because there are times when it will take him a very long time to do. A way to make this hypnotic state come quicker is to form a tale out of the experience. Build up to a second in the action of the story where you can say what you want the topic to do, and then add it into the story. This is an exceedingly efficient way to order the topic to do something under hypnosis without making it an actual command. It's a much better method.

At the end of the act, guide the subject gently toward awakening from the hypnotic state. A good way to do this is to let them relax and stretch before waking them. Remember, the subject may not remember what he did under hypnosis. Point out this fact to make the performance rather more engaging for your audience.
