This one may seem a bit trivial, but I don't get the chance to talk to many other hypnotists on a daily basis so what the hey!

What's your favourite induction?

It occurred to me today that I don't really have one, although I think I probably should have!! Thus I'm curious as to whether others do.

Now I don't necessarily mean the one you use the most, and I don't necessarily mean the one that brings the best results. I just mean your favourite. The one that for some reason you just enjoy doing more than others.

None of this "well really there is only ONE induction..." or "well it all depends where I am and who it is..." stuff. I just want to know your favourite.

Perfect place, perfect subject, what's it gonna be?

"Sleep now!" is very efficient and effective. I use it often. On days I feel like extending it a bit, I might use, "Push on my hand. Close your eyes. Sleep!" Other times I may not even use words. It really depends on how I conduct my pre-induction.
Without doubt, My Friend John (as a process/approach, not a scripted induction!).

Thanks for sharing, Graham. The "I have a friend" concept presented above is fine to use. This My Friend John method combines an indirect Ericksonian approach with "delayed" direct suggestions, using a fundamental staircase deepener and the classic hand to face convincer. Thus here is a fine combination of techniques that work well together. Yet, the demo posted, IMO, offered neither justice to nor verification of its effectiveness.
I would have to say the expectancy induction, and all of the thousands of variations of it.

Hi Tim!
Without a doubt, my favorite induction is the Dave Elman Induction. If someone held a gun to my head and said, "Hypnotize this person or else...." I would do Dave Elman's "three minute routine." Fortunately, it is rare that someone holds a gun to my head... okay... never. But then there was that incident last month at the NGH Convention....

I perfer doing things covertly.
hi Tim
Mainly Dave Elman with the elevator deepener and tapping the forehead with birthing and countdown 10-1
Also if I do nontouch induction I will use Dr. Flowers Hypnosis Induction
Yet I'm open to experience and master more ways as expectancy induction and the instant induction etc.
and yes i love magick

Ok, I've had a think and I've actually got 3 favourites!

1. Jon Chase's arm lock (nearly always use this once I am satisfied the hypnotee can do basic phenomena)
2. James Tripp's hand stick (will often do this at the end of a session for fun to leave people smiling)
3. Reg Blackwood's version of Elman's three handshake induction (just cos it looks cool!)

All rapids...which kind of surprises me.

Thanks to everyone who has posted so far.

Any more for any more?

I don't really understand your response, Doc.

The video is an example of some aspects of My Friend John. If you have a better video example, I'd be happy to use it.

Barry Thain's Wrist-lift is very nice.

Perhaps I need a direct link. Which video are you specifically viewing?
