Check out this short clip of my student, A.J., hypnotizing a cute girl over webcam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He crushed the induction, which left the poor girl dizzy and on the ropes. The crowd erupted and demanded a wicked finisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not being one to disappoint, he decided on the gravity-defying “arm levitator” – a classic fan-favorite that’s so deadly to soft tissue, it’s been know to rupture tendons and put an end to careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While his manager was busy distracting the referee, A.J. locked in a savage levitator, cranking it mercilessly as the sadistic crowd squirmed with delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s when poor Hillary was forced to tap out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nah, not even close. Because A.J. blew it big time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was ZERO arm movement. Nothing at all. Just an ultra major, mega-embarrassingly-shameful screw-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the worst part? He should have known better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, most hypnosis instructors say you should only attempt phenomena when you’re 99% sure things will work. Because if you “fail,” your subject will (allegedly) lose all confidence in you and hypnosis, in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But thank God I’m not like other instructors. In fact, I ENCOURAGE my students to fail (and I often show off my own embarrassing failures in my programs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion, the mark of a good hypnotist is their ability to be FEARLESS in the face of “failure.” And that’s because things don’t always go smoothly in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hit those roadblocks (and you WILL hit them), you need to stay calm and keep switching gears until a successful result is eventually achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Sometimes the right course of action is booting the subject out the door. But if you screen properly, this will rarely be necessary.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting back to the clip\u2026 how do you think my embarrassment of a student handled this situation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of drowning in a puddle of shameful tears, he paused to think about what might have went wrong. And then he simply GAVE THE SUGGESTIONS AGAIN in a slightly different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like that, success was achieved. And the crowd went flippin’ bananas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ability to troubleshoot needs to be cultivated over time, but you can start by approaching your sessions with an attitude of curiosity and fearlessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, go check out A.J. eliciting arm levitation, funny arm and stiff arm (these effects are part of the “Phenomena Flow” from my 7-Day Quick Start Course<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

>>>Phenomena Flow Clip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you might be shocked to learn that A.J. only just started taking private lessons with me a few weeks back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most budding hypnotists study for MONTHS before even attempting something as simple as an armlock. Yet, this is only the fifth time he’s ever tried to hypnotize someone – and it’s the first time he’s tried eliciting hypnotic phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess I forgot to tell him this stuff is crazy difficult. My bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kidding aside, A.J. did an excellent job, especially for someone just starting out. Here’s his take on what happened\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

===<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When I had that moment where I stopped and was thinking, I realized that when I first described what the arm levitation was going to be like for her I didn’t say a line to the effect of “It might be your left hand, it might be your right hand – I don’t know” (like how the ice cream induction is set up).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when I gave the suggestion again, I made sure to specify that it was going to be a specific hand. If it wasn’t a phenomena and I was going for somnambulism, I normally would’ve just structured it like you do and covered my bases for any possibility that could’ve happened. But in that moment, I saw she just wanted to be told what to do.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

===<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that sums up your job as a hypnotist: “Tell ’em what to do” and expect them to comply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S.<\/strong> Might this advice also apply to everyone you come into contact with in your day-to-day, including your romantic prospects? Just a suggestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.P.S.<\/strong> Have you missed any of my past emails? You can find them on the new blog (link is on the main site, up top).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ciao for now,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
