So honestly in my eyes, if you’ve completed all the tasks of 3 weeks. Then I’d call you a certified
master of Street Hypnosis… I’m not joking, dude if you’ve done what we’ve spoke about by this
stage.. You are very very good.
There still aren’t many street hypnotists in the world, and if you really went out there and did all
those routines you’ve done insanely well.
Particularly working hard on the early kinothetic routines because if you can nail those routines, if
you can do those every time then you’re going to push your hypnotisability rate through the roof.
Just remember what we discussed in the first part of week 3.
That an important aspect of mental phenomena might be the cognitive dissonance that allows it to
occur, that perhaps the important aspects of building kinaesthetic responses in the subject to begin
with is to allow them to understand what is required of them as they listen to you, but also to
convince them that they can be out of control and things can happen all by itself.
It’s better to show someone, than tell someone, and by having someone engage with their own
responsiveness, as an active learning process for how to interpret and understand you as a
hypnotist.
Therefore in this week I’ve really been struggling to know what tasks to set you. So I need to decide.
I know what you’re thinking, you’re thinking “give me bigger phenomena, come on I want to do an
invisibility”
Trust me, if you can make 80% of people’s hands stuck to the table, your perfectly ready to do an
invisibility.
The version of hypnosis I’m teaching you is more difficult than normal hypnosis…. I’m teaching you
everything the most difficult way and I want you to get it exactly right.
Getting invisibility won’t impress me, in fact I think I would be disappointed in you. Lol because
frankly it’s not about the phenomena, I want you to be able to go out there and feel like you could
make anyone do anything.
So for that reason I’ve almost decided to give you guidance, and directions for where to go from
name amnesia…. For things to say to make the subject listen to you, things to say to make the
subject emotional, ways to make the subject concentrate and a longer version of the pre talk.
I think these techniques will serve you better in the long term than if you just receive some routines
like invisibility, or number amnesia, or hallucinations, have them think you’re a celebrity. What
you’re doing with those mental phenomena is no different from doing a name amnesia.. and really
its just wasted time teaching you those routines… when honestly your just going to do them anyway.
So in the end I decided to settle on the title “suggestions for dissonance and happiness, because
having someone listen to your suggestions, feel out of control, and feel really happy – is going to be
your guiding three things that is going to prevent you from hurting a subject… i.e. making them feel

vulnerable or too scared as they’ll be happy about it. And forces the subject to listen to you, and
how to frame the hypnosis i.e. believe they are out of control to prevent them resisting it
throughout.
Week 4: you should practice
1. A longer set of pre talk suggestions
The slightly longer version of my pre-talk goes “hypnosis uses your imagination and
concentration, its about getting an idea in your head and just going with that idea as if it just
happens all by itself”.
Now I mentioned that I want the subject to listen in a very particular way when I hypnotize
them, for this reason I personally deliver stories and metaphors about concentration at this
point in the interaction… I could tell the subject that I expect them to concentrate and sure
this would work providing the subject understood what I meant when I said concentration.
The problem is a great number of participants believe that they are already concentrating, or
that they might have particular worries, concerns, arguments about their ability to
concentrate in the past and when you say “I need you to concentrate” they take offense to
this and believe that your insulting their intelligence and then as a result completely
withdraw their concentration altogether.
So instead I decide to say the above and then immediately move into a story to explain what
I mean – I feel with a story you can be sure that the subject understands what you’re saying
without worrying about whether the label of the word your using brings up complicated
associations in the subjects head that you didn’t expect. As we mentioned earlier generally
as a rule the more precise you are with the meaning of your language and the more
accurately you explain to the hypnotic subject what you’re expecting them to do for every
phenomena, then the better your hypnotic results are.
So I deliver a metaphor that discusses cognitive priming in the brain, to understand why I
tell this metaphor requires a brief understanding of why I don’t believe in hypnosis as an
actual state, and why I think the topic of cognitive priming is almost enough along to
explain the entire phenomenon of hypnosis.
The idea roughly is that in our brain ideas are activated ready to be used, they are activated
by stimulus’s that they are previously being associated with (seen simultaneously) in past
environmental circumstances or sequences.

3.
For this reason I might use the cat metaphor in order to explain hypnosis.
“hypnosis is like, you know the phrase… don’t think of a black cat, and then you think of a cat right?”
“well its like, if you thought about cat related things, like fury things, or your friends cat, or their
whiskers, then when you go to same an animal its easy to just say (point at their vocal chords)” at
this point they should say cat.. and if they do this then you can repeat it again, now that you have
primed the phenomena of them saying cat you can use that response and run straight into the
phenomena of having them only say cat.
But you don’t need to make them only able to say cat, your only trying to deliver the point, that as
they energetically engage with you and focus on the things you say, they might find it difficult to
think of other things.
One of the main things comedians, magicians, hypnotists complain about is that their audience
doesn’t seem engaged enough or vocal enough.
But you know that thing that some performers do on stage where they say “how you all doing
tonight?” and only one person in the audience says “yeah” and the rest of the audience sits there in
stone cold silence… well then he comes out on stage again and says “hey guys how you all doing
tonight?” and the audience is slightly louder.
And then again, until he has the audience loud enough..
Well this applies in hypnosis too, if you want an attentive emotional subject not only do you have to
be attentive and emotionally present and concentrating yourself, but you have to request it, specify
it and refuse to work without it.
Spend effort this week making sure you’re getting your subjects as energetic as possible before you
work with them, you only want to work with people who are switched on and intelligent because
then you can work as fast as possible and go for the routines you’d like
2. Things to make the subject feel out of control
So one of the early ways I learnt hypnosis was through use of the super suggestion… I would attempt
to hypnotize without the super suggestion (my first few subjects) and they seemed less responsive
than they did when I delivered it.

4.
The super suggestion traditionally sounds like “you’ll follow every command order instruction
suggestion I give you, everything I tell you to feel you’ll feel, everything I tell you to believe, you’ll
believe, everything I tell you to see you’ll see, you are who I say you are”
Now I deliver lots of suggestions that do the same purpose as the suggestion but I deliver as part of
my pre talk or as delivered as part of routines and the words that I’m saying… I’ve designed them so
they can easily slip into pretty much any hypnosis routine.
“You know when you go to a party, and your on top of the world and you do something, and you’re
like, why did I do that thing… you’ll do whatever I say no matter how silly or stupid it sounds”
“You know when you go to a party and you say something to a friend that you don’t mean to say,
maybe your angry and you tell them to go away, and you didn’t mean to say it the words just slipped
out of your mouth.”
3. Things to make the subject concentrate on you
“you know like when you go into an exam, and your so focused on it, that you can’t focus on
anything else”
“you know when you start doing a task, and its like you can’t walk away from that task, like if
you’ve ever started tidying and you can’t stop tidying the house, or your paperwork, and you’d
love to actually get some work done, but you keep on tidying.
4. Things to make the subject emotionally available.
“you know when your angry, and you can’t calm yourself down, no matter how hard you try, the
more you think about it the more angry you get.. its like you get an idea in your head and you focus
on that idea and its like you cant’ stop focusing on that thing, as if you have too much energy for
that thing.”
“You know like when a friend goes to you, you look sad, and you don’t feel particularly sad but then
they say ‘whats wrong?’ and suddenly you feel like crying”
5. Positive wake up suggestions
“In a moment I’ll tap you on the forehead and you’ll feel so full of life, full of energy, so happy to be
alive, you are no longer hypnotized, but you have no idea about anything that’s happened while you
were hypnotized” (tap on forehead)
I have a longer version with a law of attraction style speech in it;

5.
"How about this, suppose the hypnosis ended right now, and instead there was no such thing as
hypnosis. That all ideas in the mind, its just that whatever's activated becomes real, and the source
of activation for all the opportunities in the world is you.. and you can create what you want, yeah?"
like in the sense that, you feel that things should be the way they are and that creates the way they
are? if you want to create the happiest life then you go for whatever you want... We find the
opportunities we work towards, and then we find out they happen. and this is how the world works,
sure? Look, all I’m saying is.. In a moment i clap my hands and all suggestions are washed away and
from this moment forwards you'll just feel really happy,.. and that’s the most important thing...
always.. Not just for now (claps hands) and everything's back to normal, and everything’s good.. but
you know you were hypnotised.. and if you want you can write about me on the internet or tell
anyone who looks like they are a celebrity, or agent”
"When I tap you on the back of that hand, and that hand lifts -> your going to feel like your ontop of
the world, ontop of life" everythings going to feel awesome and right now you feel so so happy i'm
going to tap the back of your hand and you'll realize, that you were hypnotized and that was
amazing, and ( your name here if you want to get famous) is probably one of the best hypnotists in
the world" I'm going to tap you on the back of the hand, and you'll feel utterly amazing, utterly
awesome, you'll just feel that energy and you'll believe in the process and
you'll talk about it, and tell your friends when i tap you on the back of your hand, you'll feel full of
life, full of energy, wide awake, (tap back of hand) the hypnosis washed away... back to the room,
normal... enjoying life.. and you like talking about hypnosis.. and you know where we are and you
know your name"
This week you have a responsibility to deliver positive suggestions to your subject, let me know if
they seemed immediately happy the moment you delivered the suggestion, the aim should be that
they are ridiculously happy before you even finally deliver the suggestions that they are going to be
awake and full of life, and opportunity.
6. Forgetting everything suggestions
“in a moment I’ll tap you on the forehead, you’ll be wide awake, but you’ll forget everything, you’ll
have no idea about being hypnotized, you’ll remember the hand thing, forgetting everything now,
your mind goes blank, it feels like a minute has passed” (tap them on the forehead)
"Close your eyes relax, feel good and relaxed, feel so amazing, in a moment i will tap you on the
forehead, and when i tap you on the forehead, you forget everything you forget about being
hypnotized you have no idea about being hypnotized the last thing you remember is that you had
your hands stuck togther, the last thing you remember is you had your hands stuck togther.you
forget everything. it feels like 20 seconds has passed...”
7. Suggestions for how to frame hypnosis

6.
“you know hypnosis is awesome, and you know I’m (your name here if you want to get famous) and
I’m an amazing hypnotist”
“When I clap my hands everything will be back to normal, and everything’s good.. but you know you
were hypnotised.. and if you want you can write about me on the internet or tell anyone who looks
like they are a celebrity, or agent” ( claps hands) and your back to normal now… fully wide awake, all
suggestions washed away… but strangely happy”
