This quick induction was preformed be Barry Jones. He is a stage hypnotist, and this is his site [url]http://www.barryjones.com/[/url]. I attened one of his shows, and it was very funny.
This is how the induction went. He started by asking the audiance if anyone has been hypnotized before, and 2 other people raised there hands and got up on stage. He asked them a few questions and then said that he was going to put them in a trance in only one second. He took the first guy's hand gave it a powerful wave, and pushed him over with his other hand. He then repeated it with the girl sitting next to him. If you're wondering what I mean by "powerful wave," it was like if you took a slinky that was streched out on the floor and gave it a wave to the side, and it makes S-Waves (to use earthquake voaculary).
The reason I think that it worked was because he knew that when he picked the people that have already been hypnotized, that they were highly suggestable. The subjects on stage also knew that it was very possible to achive a trance, and if there was anyone could for sure do it, it was going to be a professional. So, the moral of the story is, if you think in you're head, that hypnosis works, it will! Being in the presence of a professional hypnotist, increases that thought in your mind, which is why stage hypnotists are able to get most people in a trance.
P.S. If anyone has any questions about the performance, just ask.
