Stage Hypnosis Amnesia

[spiraljockey]

Good Morning,

This is my first post. I have been a life-long hypnokinkster though. Recently, I have decided on becoming a hypnotist. I have enrolled in a number of online certification courses. I have some past experience with covert hypnosis and NLP, but I am out of my depth as it pertains to stage hypnosis.

I know that many people in stage shows are actually under trance, but feel like they are playing along with the phenomenon. Hence why a lot of people say, "I wasn't hypnotized!" after they snap out of trance. I know that a common trick in a lot of these shows is to suggest to one or several of the subjects that they forget who their partner is, to feel feelings of love for another, or be disgusted by their partner. I wonder how long do those effects last if the stage hypnotist does not bring the subject(s) out of trance and the subject comes out of the trance on their own.

I want to mention a situation in Canada that happened 10-15 years ago, in which a male stage hypnotist was at an all-girls school performing a show. The hypnotist put the female subjects on stage to sleep, but he inadvertently put much of the audience to sleep as well and could not wake them. Thus, they had to call in the hypnotist's professor to come in and wake the girls up after 3-4 hours. Though, there was no major concern since the girls would have come out of their trances on their own eventually.

Also how far could a person take the suggestion to say fall in love with someone who is not their partner on their own (without further suggestion)? I have seen footage from stage shows of people making out with total strangers especially if it is a more adult-oriented show. And can it be taken further at the suggestion of the hypnotist? I ask that last question because I saw a brief video (the video had terrible camera control, a lot of background sounds from the club, etc) on a major porn site 2 years ago that was from an adult stage hypnosis show in which the hypnotist suggests that a mother and daughter make-out and they do. I remember after he snaps them out of it, they were impressed that he was able to do that. The video got removed due to complaints regarding the content.
