Questions and Answers Stage Hypnotists Need to Know

Basic Information you need to know

Objectives:

The objective of this lesson is to answer the major questions your audience, your stage hypnosis clients and you will have to face in your career as a professional stage hypnotist.


Section 1:


As a professional hypnotist you will be answering many questions about hypnosis. It is best to have these answers memorized because you will be using these answers in the following situations:

1. Promoting yourself and your stage hypnotism shows to prospective clients

2. Creating promotional materials for distribution to prospective clients

3. Creating questions for radio talk show hosts. Radio station producers appreciate it when you have questions for the talk show host. You will need to have answers in your head when you are in the radio station studio or when interviewing via telephone.

4. You will need to have the questions and answers memorized because you will be using many of these questions and answers during your pre-hypnosis talk for your live performance or your post stage hypnosis question and answer period after your performance.

5. By committing this body of knowledge to memory, you will boost your self-confidence. Self-confidence is the most powerful attribute a hypnotist brings to the stage hypnosis show.



Hot Questions and Answers:


The following is a list of “hot questions and answers you will be faced almost every day of your Stage Hypnotist Career:

Question#1.

Does hypnotism only take place when a hypnotist gives suggestions to your subject or volunteer?

Answer#1.


All hypnotism is self-hypnotism and can be executed alone by the subject or volunteer. As a professional stage hypnotist, you are setting up conditions and are training your volunteer to achieve success under your direction. The volunteer is really providing the hypnotic phenonema from his own mind but through your direction.

Question#2.


Is every a good candidate for a stage performance?

Answer#2.


Even though everyone can benefit from hypnosis, some people who volunteer may try too hard, be destracted by the audience, or have fear that keeps them from being hypnotized by you.

Question#3.


How do you know when a volunteer is faking hypnosis?


Answer#3.

Because a volunteer who is faking will ruin the hypnosis show for everone, as I work with the volunteers on stage, I am constantly looking for the person who is faking. People who are faking will try to get the audience to look at them when the other volunteers’ eyes are closed. They will also talk to the other volunteers when on stage. When I spot a person doing that, I will immediately remove him/her from the stage. Most of the volunteers are sincere about experiencing the magic of the mind, so I find that I have to remove very few people who are faking hypnosis.


Question#4.


If I am hypnotized will I reveal a secret that I don’t want to reveal?


Answer#4.

During the hypnosis process on stage, you always know you are on stage so you will also have the same reservations about revealing a secret. No matter how deeply you are hypnotized, you always are under control the control of your own personal belief systems. You will only reveal, what you want to reveal when you are not experiencing hypnosis.


Question#5.


Does a volunteer lose mental control to the hypnotist to achieve success onstage?

Answer#5.

Volunteers learn from the hypnotist how to access their subconscious minds. All the time this is happening the volunteers always know they can refuse to do what the hypnotist is asking. Some volunteers will perform very well with the first 10 things the hypnotist is suggesting and then just seem to quit at some point. What is happening is that the volunteer is experiencing conflict between his value system and what the hypnotist is asking, so he just decides to stop the process. Hypnosis is a cooperative learning process, not domination of one will over another.

Question#6.


Will volunteers remember what happened during their adventures on stage?

Answer#6.

Hypnosis is a dreamlike state of concentration. Did you ever have a dream and forget it as soon as you woke up completely from bed? Unless instructed differently by the hypnotist, some volunteers will remember everything that happened to them on stage, some will remember bits and pieces of went on, and some people will forget everything that happened. People will respond as individuals after the show is over.


Question#7.

Can a person be hypnotized against his or her will?

Answer#7.

No. If the volunteer does not want to be hypnotized, he or she just won’t be hypnotized. Why a person who doesn’t want to be hypnotized, volunteers to go up on stage is a mystery to me. Its easier to stay un-hypnotized by not volunteering.

Question#8.

Do you have to have special powers to hypnotize other people?


Answer#8.


No, the hypnotic condition is a state of focused "concentration" and can be achieved anywhere. Many professional athletes hypnotize themselves during strenuous and very loud competitive events. A hypnotist in a stage show is helping the volunteers learn to concetrate very deeply.

Question#9.

Is hypnotism is a "trance" state of mind?

Answer#9.


No, hypnotism is an active, focused state of mind. A person may exhibit a "trance" like condition but only to eliminate distractions and focus on the task at hand.

Question#10.

Does a hypnotist issue commands to achieve results?

Answer#10.


A hypnotist presents ideas that can be accepted or rejected by the volunteer to achieve results. The volunteer can always decide to reject the idea, but most of the time it seems interesting and fun to stimulate the creative part of the mind during the stage show.

Question#11.

Is hypnotism is a religion?

Answer#11.


Hypnotism is just one of many words that translate into "focused concentration." There is no religious significance to hypnotism.

Question#12.

Does a volunteer achieve total muscle relaxation to become hypnotized?

Answer#12.


During the stage show, a volunteer will experience total muscle relaxation when the hypnotist suggests it and will experience vibrant muscular activity when the hypnotist is suggesting a highly active state of musclular activity.


Question#13.

Can a person get stuck in hypnosis?

Answer#13.

No, a person cannot get stuck in hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of deep concentration. Deep concentration on any one thing will only last about 20 minutes. This is why a stage hypotist presents a number of phenomena with little time in between, hypnosis “events.”

You need to refocus your volunteers’ attention often or they will snap out of hypnosis on their own. If you feel a person is stuck, if you just let them sit for about twenty mintues they will either snap out of hypnosis on their own or they will fall into natural sleep.



Question#14.


How long does it take to hypnotize a person on stage?


Answer#14.

It just takes a few minutes to hypnotize people stage if the people are willing volunteers and they listen and follow the simple instructions.


Question#15.

How do you learn hypnosis?


Answer#15.

You learn hypnosis by taking lessons from qualified hypnotists. There are no degree programs for stage hypnotism at colleges or universities in the United States. Click here to learn from Wayne F. Perkins Master Stage Hypnotist
