Review Speed Trance - Instant Hypnotic Inductions for Stage, Street and Clinical Hypnosis.

Speed Trance - Instant Hypnotic Inductions

Review - by Anthony Jacquin
Speed Trance - Instant Hypnotic Inductions for Stage, Street and Clinical Hypnosis.
By John Cerbone and Richard K Nongard.

Recently I watched this two DVD set and have found it to be a really useful and valuable addition to my hypnotic library. As an experienced hypnotist who has done stage, street and thousands of hours of clinical work I watched the preview for the product online and must admit wondered if there would be much I could learn from the DVD but after giving it my full attention have found plenty of good stuff in there.

Nongard and Cerbone demonstrate a wide variety of rapid inductions (possibly 10 or more) most of which are in some way original to them. They reiterate over and over the importance of making use of eye fixation, confusion, overload and other hypnotic techniques and encourage you to experiment and personalise the inductions. They explain them, demonstrate them in a broken down fashion and include footage of them used live. They also indicate how they can be adapted and used in a clincial as well as performance setting. By Speed Trance they mean rapid inductions that take 6 seconds or less by the way.

What was refreshing was the emphasis on health and safety - simple tips that if you use them ensure the well being of everyone is taken care of. Also they are not afraid to give examples of how things can and have gone wrong in their early days of hypnotising and what they do now to prevent you making the same mistakes.

The bonus feature is a complete one man stage hypnosis show with multiple skits. If you can't do rapid inductions after watching and absorbing this take up tap dancing.

All in all a quality product and good value.
