Hallucination - can you get it the first time?
I was hypnotizing a few teenaged kids that wanted to experience amplified effects of playing a particular video game.
The suggestion of being IN the game fighting/defending with the use of the controller was given. The only effect that was noticed was better concentration of game play and an odd feeling in the stomach every time they jumped in game.
Lack of conditioning through hypnosis is what I am assuming caused the small results.
Keep in mind that these are people that have never been hypnotized.
Should I have compounded by giving the suggestion then popping them in and out and giving the suggestion again?
I hypnotized another person and gave them the suggestion of the magic carpet ride. They took this suggestion and enjoyed an awesome ride. The same technique was used which caused me to step back and re-evaluate how I was deepening. Ultimately was it my technique, lack of deepening or lack of conditioning?
How would you go about giving someone the hallucinating effects during actual game play?
Respectfully,
Kevin

Kevin, Don Gibbons, who posts frequently at this site has a technique called "hyperempiria" which you may wish to check out, it is great for people who wish to have amplified "peak experiences." Jim

Kevin,
I once got a visual hallucination in less than five minutes with someone who had never been hypnotized.
Before you think I'm a hotshot, let me just say those results are nowhere near typical. :-)
Are you talking about a post-hypnotic hallucination that they'll have every time they play the game? I've never attempted something like that, but I doubt it's going to simply be a matter of hypnotizing someone, telling them it will happen, and then bringing them out.
When stage hypnotists get full-on visual hallucinations with new trancers, it's because they've selected the top 1% of hypnotic talent available. Your teenagers may need more practice as trancers, and you may need more practice as a hypnotist, before that happens. But don't let that stop you from pursuing it.

The posts so far seem to be pretty accurate. This type of response is available to a small percentage of the general public right away. I think it is quite a bit more than 1 % but the point is that it's certainly not the majority.
Here's a way that you can increase the likelihood of getting this kind of response more quickly.
You start out slowly finding which pathway is working most effectively, visual, auditory, or kinesthetic, and then start to play with those modalities getting mild responses at first. Then start to increase those responses, and see if you can get them to experience a greater variety of modalities. Increase again. Fractionate between different effects, and each time you get a response it should become more profound. Have the participant verify they are getting the effect, and suggest they go into a more profound state as you remove the previous state and give them time to go deeper. You start to stack the hallucination.
If you just jump right in with a full blown hallucination, chances are that you won't get the desired result, so take it a step at a time. Stage hypnotists call this a pyramiding affect , I believe.
If you don't get the response you wanted, just say "that's right" (I've got to laugh over a post I read earlier today about "that's right" but it works) don't let on that your subject did anything wrong, just suggest they go into a more profound state.
That's it. oh yea, and practice, practice and practice some more, especially with your ability to experience the hallucination yourself. That always helps.
