Ding! Ding! Ding! Your husband starts giggling wildly every time a bell rings. Someone else in the crowd crawls around and barks like a dog. The bunch is in a chaos while watching these normal people do all sorts of daft things. This is stage hypnotism, and any individual can do it.
First, make the topic feel nicely relaxed. The need is that he or she must feel very comfortable. This is done to release all of the stress within the individual. A clear head is vital to successfully hypnotizing a subject. The subject's level of relaxation can be checked by studying his respiring patterns. Respiring should be deep, and all breaths should be equal. Next, check the subject's muscles. They should not be tense, and the subject should not be fidgeting. Understanding even the littlest particulars in this process and training properly will help you become a good stage hypnotist.
Secondly, encourage the subject to daydream about relaxing topics. This is crucial to further relax his mind and make your subject awfully receptive to the things that you assert. Next, ask the subject to relive his experiences from history few days. Steer him in making an internal picture but let him do all the work. Once the mental picture has been established, tell him to let those memories go. After that, tell the subject to picture a craving in his mind, particularly a hunger for a selected food. He must visualise it, smell it, and taste it. Help him do this by inspiring his imaginings that the food is actually in the room with him. At about that point, test your subject again. Let him know 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 9, repeat the last three steps to prompt total relaxation in preparation for correct stage hypnotism.
Trust is your strongest weapon. Foster trust this by telling the topic that he's in control. Tell him that what he's going to do under hypnosis is the proper thing to do. Just say anything that you believe will build up his trust and confidence in you to guide him. Once you realize that the subject trusts you, try making him to stand up. If he does, then you know that you have him. Nevertheless you should be patient on occasions because there are times when it will take him a really long time to do. One way to make this hypnotic state come quicker is to form a story out of the experience. Build up to a minute in the action of the tale where you are able to say what you need the subject to do, and then add it into the tale. This is a very efficient way to order the subject to do something under hypnosis without making it a real command. It is a much more effective technique.
At the end of the act, guide the topic gently toward waking up 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 probably did under hypnosis. Mention this fact to make the performance even more fascinating for your audience.
